General Notes
John arrived in the Virginia colony with his parents & sister, Hester, about 1656; and about 1665 moved with his parents to Cecil Co., MD.. He apparently returned to England, either with his parents or alone, prior to 1699, there he married Elizabeth, whose parentage is unknown. On Feb. 3, 1670/1671, John had 500 acres of land surveyed as Successor, on the Forks of the Elk River in Maryland.
1672 John returned to Maryland from England via Barbados, armed with a letter from Lord Baltimore directing that Thomas Browning's land be made over to John Browning.
1690 Estate of John Browning settled by court appointed administrator.
From the four sons of John Browning of Cecil Co., MD., there appear to have been born at least ten sons; and to these ten were born almost forty grandsons of John Browning.
John's will was made in 1803 in Greene Co., GA.
