Francis Browning

Three Francis Browning names appear in the historical record. The eldest seems to be Francis Browning  (1672-1723). His son was Francis Browning (c1696-1775) and his son was Francis Browning (died 1760). Independent confirmation of these dates has not been accomplished. These three men will be referred below, at times, as Francis Browning i, ii, or iii

 

The eldest Francis Browning appears to have been married to Rachel. The next one administered the estate of Samuel Poe (d. 1725). Browning researchers claim the wife was Francis Browning was a member of the Lloyd family. The third Francis Browning was married to Frances Norman and is connected to the family of William Poe (whose wife was Lydia).

The Browning Family. By Judge D. A. Grimsley

The Brownings appeared in Virginia soon after the settlement of the Colony. One of them, as appears from Henning's Statures, was a member of the House of Burgesses, but whether the Culpeper family is a descendant of this man is not definitely known.

 

Francis Browning settled near Gaines X Roads (Gaines Crossroads – my addition), now Rappahannock, in 1735. He is supposed to have come from Caroline county. One Thomas Browning also came to Culpeper about that time, but returned to Caroline.

 

The wife of Francis Browning was a Miss. Lloyd*, of Maryland, and they had the following

children: 1. Francis m. Frances Norman;

2. Nicholas, m. Sarah Washburn;

3. John m. Miss Demorest;

4. Jacob m. Elizabeth Bywaters;

5. Mary m. Courtney Norman;

6. Ruth m. William Duncan;

7. a daughter m. ----- Turner.

 

* No supporting evidence is provided for this claim. The Lloyd family was in Caroline County early in the century. Other Browning researchers seem to point to this statement by Grimsley in their family histories. Without other evidence, though, it seems as likely that the wife of Francis Browning (ii) was a daughter of Samuel Poe. This would explain why Francis Browning administered Samuel Poe's estate. Francis Browning and Samuel Poe lands were adjacent in Essex/Caroline County. William Poe and Francis Browning land were adjacent in Culpeper County. These two families appear so close that some kind of kinship must exist somewhere.

page 291

In August, 1670, Francis Lederer had explored the area from the Great Fork, the juncture of the Rappahannock and Rapidan Rivers, to the Blue Ridge, and marked trails. In the mid 1700's, William Poe, who had land in the upper reaches of Battle Run as far back as 1737, and lived near Gaines Cross Roads, laid off a road which roughly followed Lederer's Trail. It is represented by the present Route 637 from Route 211 west  of Amissville to a sport near Wakefield Manor on Route 522 between Flint Hill and Huntly. The road from Washington via Fodderstack staying west of present Route 522 to the connection with Poe's road and continuing to t he top of the mountain, was Chester's Road, named for Captain Thomas Chester who owned property west of the Gap which bears his name.

 

p. 349

... Sandford's Mill, also known as Cooksey's, was on the Jordan west of Poe's Road, while Water's Mill was down near the mouth, east of the road.

 

p. 350

A piece of Poe's Road has been cut out now and it turns, hitting Route 522, opposite Wakefield Private School. About two miles below Chancellor's Mill on the Rappahannock County side, was Lewis' Mill, near the mouth of Buck Run as it came in from Fauquier. This as fairly close to Poe's road, and was reached by a short section of road that is now closed.

 

Chancellor Mountain

 

We are now down to Water's Mill, already mentioned, on the east side of Poe's Road on the Jordan River. Next comes the intersection of Poe's Road, Route 637, with Crest Hill Road, Route 647.

 

Below Keysville (Lotte, or Larrabee's Kennels) about a half mile down on Hungry (Hunger) Run, and on the east side of Poe's Road was Poe's Mill. Then, down about the mouth of Hungry Run as it goes into the Rappahannock was old Parker's Mill, served by Parker's Mill Road.

FAUQUIER DURING THE PROPRIETORSHIP by H. C. Groome

p. 206

Watts' ordinary, a place of more importance, is shown by Dalrymple as twelve miles north of Neavill's [ordinary], where the village of Delaplane now stands. It ras kept by Thomas Watts, who was granted a license by the Prince William court in 1753 'for the ensuing year'. There is no record of the license being continued by the Fauquier court, but that Watts' house remained a local landmark is shown by the fact that John Wood in 1761 was appointed surveyor of the road from 'Watts to the head of  Goose creek', and again in the same year, 'from 'Thomas Watts to the Top of the Ridge on the Manassas Road'. The road thus indicated was obviously the road from Delaplane leading up Goose Creek to its source in the Manassas gap of the Blue Ridge.

The Morgan family were neighbors of the Poe family on Newhope Creek in Chatham Co, NC in the later 1700s. Sarah and Mariam Rosty Reynolds married brothers William Threet Poe and Thomas Poe in the mid-1800s, probably in Pickens Co, Alabama. It is unclear if the Culpeper County Reynolds family is the same surname. Reynolds also was present in Anson County, NC where my family lived prior to moving to Alabama. William Threet Poe was my great-great grandfather.

Biog./Hist. Note  

During its session begun in May 1780 the General Assembly passed an act authorizing the governor to impress supplies needed by the American army. The governor appointed commissioners of the provision law in each locality to carry out the terms of the act. The commissioner, when he impressed property, gave the owner a certificate describing what was taken. Between 1781 and 1783 county courts held special sessions at which certificates were presented and authenticated, and booklets listing authenticated certificates were compiled and sent to Richmond for settlement. Two commissioners appointed to settle the claims recorded those for which they authorized payment, and warrants were issued by the auditor of public accounts.
