Orange County (became Culpeper)
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).

Francis Browning 1735 p.
151 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. |

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.

...
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.

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.

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.
