DEC 1 4 1968 ^ GENEALOGY OF ^ DAVID BROWDER, OF VlicGINIA AND HIS DESCENDANTS. $.s far back as the line of descent recorded below can be traced, Richard Browder and Henry Cousins stand as the joint heads and remote ancestors. As no records are available as to the date of birth, marriage and death of either, nothing is certainly known in either of these lines of facts in the history of the two families. Both lived and died in Virginia, but the nativity of Richard Browder, while not certainly known, is supposed to have been Virginia, and Henry Cousins is said to have been a native of England. Richard Browder, according to traditional report, married a Miss Thompson, and as a result of this marriage, a relationship is said to exist between the descen- dants of Richard Browder and the Thompson family of central Kentucky, The issues of this marriage, so far as kno\^m, were David, Littleberry, William and Mary Browder. There may have been other children, but if so the fact is not known. Henry Cousins married a Miss Thompson also whose Christian name is not known. Eight children were the issues of this marriage, viz.: Mary, Rebecca, Eliza, Ann, Jane and Henry, and the names of two daughters are unknovm. Mary married David Browder and their descendants now reside in Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, Missouri and Illinois. Rebecca married Judson Worsham and their descendants now reside chiefly in Virginia. Eliza married Thomas Chambers, and their descendants now reside chiefly in Alabama and Virginia, c 4 Ann married Richard Ferguson, and their descendants now reside chiefly in Virginia, Of the two daughters whose full names are not known, one married Hazlewood and the other married Pritchett — the descendants of the former now residing, so far as known, in Kentucky, and of the other in Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri, Jane was never married. The descendants of Henry Cousins now residing chiefly in Virginia have the family names of Cousins, V/orsham, Robertson, Chambers, Fer- guson, Williamson and Pritchett, with other connections resulting from marriages into these families. It may be said that in both of these lines of descent strong and fixed traits of character have been conveyed from one generation to another. Almost loniversally the generations in these two lines of lineal succession have been of eminent respectability and many mem- bers of these families have had prominent standing in society. As stated elsewhere the issues of the marriage of Richard Browder, one of the joint heads of the generations contained in this record, so far as known were David, Littleberry, William and Mary. There may have been others, but if so they are not known. Littleberry married and raised a family of four children, viz.: David, Mary, Thomas and V/innefred, whose descendants now reside in Kentucky, Tennessee, Illinois, Kansas, and Iowa so far as is known. Mary, daughter of Richard Browder, married Mr. Pentecost and resided and died in Virginia without issue. Nothing is known of the history or descendants of William, son of Richard Brov/der. It is probable that some of the Browders re- siding in Ohio, Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina and western Ken- tucky may have descended from him, but there are no available means for establishing this as a fact. David Browder, son of Richard Browder, married Mary Pegram, who died shortly after marriage, leaving one child- -a daughter- - who married Anthony Sydnor and this is the fact which connects the Browder and Sydnor families, David Browder's second marriage was with Mary Cousins, as here- tofore stated, and there are no authentic records as to the date of birth, marriage or death of either. It is certain that both were bom, resided and died in Virginia. So far as is known, six children were the issues of this marriage, viz.: Richard, William Cousins, Robert, Ann W., Almeda and Jane, These descendants all married in Virginia except Robert and Jane, all emigrated to Kentucky at an eady day, settling first in Green County and finally in Logan County, where their descendants were reared and now mostly reside.

This is a full and complete record of the descendants of David and Mary Browder, who was before marriage Mary Cousins, Most of the information used in making it was derived from authentic sources, while the smaller part was obtained necessarily from traditional knowledge and the facts secured from the most reliable informants were adopted and used, V/hile it may not be fully correct, it is as nearly so as it can be made in the absence of much necessary and authentic record. The leading and essential facts I am satisfied are correct, while some of the minor details may not be fully so. THOMAS E. BKOIVDER Olmstead, Ky., November 27, 1901. 30 THE SYDNOR BRMCH OF THE FMILY The above record, as traced by my cousin, Thomas E. Browder, embraces the descendants of our grandfather and mother, David and Mary Cousins Browder, only as it incidentally refers to his first marriage with Mary Pegram and the marriage of their only child and daughter, Mary Browder, to Anthony Sydnor of Virginia. The following is the best outline record that can be gotten in time for this publication, but in the larger work that will embrace a record of the entire Browder family in this co^lntry, information to be embocied in which I am collecting as rapidly as possible, I shall endeavor to get a fuller and more complete record as to dates, etc., of the descendants of Anthony and Mary Browder Sydnor.

Browder, born September 13, 1865, and died July 10, 1866. 33 Sarah F. Sydnor, daughter of David B, and Catherine Sydnor, was bom May 15, 1842, mtrried James F.

Sydnor, daughter of David B. and Catherine Sydnor, was born June 6, 1846, and also died in childhood. Edward Sydnor, son of Anthony and Mary Brovrder Sydnor, was bom in 1805, date of marriage and to \i\om married unknovm to me. Moved West V7ith his family and nothing is known of them. Martha Sydnor, daughter of Anthony and Mary Browder Sydnor, was born in 1807; married (date unknown) Paschal V/illiams of Green Co., Ky. Their children were Archie, Thomas A., David, V/oodson, Joseph, and Bettie. We think the children were all married, but have no record of their families. Sarah Ann Sydnor, daughter of Anthony and Mary Brovrder Sydnor, was born in 1809. She married John Bailey of Green Co., Ky., and the issues of their marriage were four sons--John, Thomas, Robert, and William. I know nothing of the dates of their birth or marriage; in fact I know not whether any have families, except Thomas J,, who married Mollie Hutchings, daughter of Dr. George H. Kutchings, and the record of whose family has already been given in the preceding record of the Browder family. Thomas A. Sydnor, son of Anthony and Mary Browder Sydnor, was born in 1811; married to Sarah Walthal of Green County, I suppose (date xmknown), and there was bom to them the following children: 34 William, Almeda, Anthony and Browder Sydnor. Nothing is known of them by me further than that they reside in Hart County, Ky., or did x^rhen I last heard from them. Baker Sydnor, son of /u:\thony and Mary Brov/der Sydnor, was bom in Virginia (as were the rest of his brothers and sisters) in 1813, He never married and died in Russellville, Ky,, in 1833 with cholera. This completes the record of David Browder 's descendants by his two wives Mary Pegram and Mary Cousins Browder, That of grand- father's brothers. Rev, Littleberry and William Browder, the only two that are positively known to me, will be embraced in the general his- tory which I am endeavoring to compile of the entire family in this country. Nothing was known to us prior to the getting up of this record, of Uncle William's descendants, but I have information which seems conclusive that the North Carolina Brov/ders, who finally emigrated to Tennessee and settled in Monroe Co,, near Sweetwater, are some of his descendants. They are an intelligent and prosperous people and rank high in the conmiunities in which tliey reside, and like the Browders everywhere I have found them, are the patrons of education and religion, of all that is noblest and best in life, I feel that we owe a debt of gratitude to Cousin Thomas E, Browder, who got up this family record, and Cousin Jack P. Moore, who incited him to the good work. Their efforts have aroused in me an earnest desire to have a full and as complete history of the entire family as can be obtained, and to that end 1 have already collected a great deal of very interesting information, and if I can get the cooperation of all the members of our great and honored family, I shall succeed in accomplishing the desired result, God being willing. 35 This general record will be a surprise to all, as the family is much more numerous than any have suspected. I'here are several different branches I have found, one or more of which is larger than our own; and if this record could be interspersed (as it should be) with bio- graphical sketches of the prominent men and women of the family, with half tone likenesses of same, it would make a very interesting his- tory not only to those of us who are now living, but to our posterity. My plan is to get some member of each branch to get up personal sketches and furnish pictures of the prominent members of their particular families, which they wish inserted. This I think v/ould stimulate the interest of all and make a more satisfactory history. I would like to have an expression from those who read this and are interested in the matter as to their willingness to cooperate with me and share the expense of such an undertaking with me. I have not undertaken this work with the purpose of making money out of it, but have been actuated simply and solely by the love I bear my family and the pride I have in its noble history and the desire to transmit it to our children after us. I shall never cease to thank God for our noble parentage. They have left us an imperishable heritage. The heritage of a noble and good name that I prize more highly than all the honors or riches that the world can bestow, and which I had rather bequeath to my children than the wealth of the world. My highest ambition in life is to be like my noble and saintly father and mother, and have the love and respect and admiration of all who know me in the same degree which they had from all who knew them, and if I can only succeed in impressing myself upon my children 36 and upon the generation in which I live as they impressed themselves upon their children and upon the generation in which they lived, I shall always praise God that he permitted me to live in this world, DAVID P. BRO\VDER Since getting out the little pamphlet- -Genealogy of David Brov^der and Descendants--! have found some earlier history, obtained by my nephew. Rev. R. W. Browder, from his father. Rev. George R, Browder, who got it from our father, Robert Brov/der. It is as follows: One ----- Browder, an Englishman, married a Welsh woman, and emigrated to America early in the 18th century, and settled in Virginia, x^rhere he lived and died. His name has not been retained in the family. The children of these progenetors of the Browder family were Richard, Joseph, Arthur, George and Nancy, as far as known. Nancy married a Mr, Poole, Richard Browder married a Miss Mary Thompson, as recorded in the above-mentioned history, and the following children were born to them, Susannah, John, Charles, William, David, Littleberry, Thompson, Mary, Martha, Nancy, and Wilmuth, Susannah married first John Thacker to whom were bom three children, Mary, Nancy, and David Thacker. She married the second time George Timmons and the issues of this marriage were Elizabeth, Susan, and Martha Timmons, John Brov/der, son of Richard and Mary Thompson Brov/der was killed when a boy by the accidental discharge of a gun, Charles Browder, son of Richard and Mary Thompson Browder, volunteered as a soldier in the Revolutionary War and died of disease in camp about the year 1773, David Browder' s history has already been given in record just completed. Thompson Browder, son of Richard and Mary Thompson Browder, married (to whom unknown) and his children were Benjamin, Elizabeth, Johnathan, and others. Martha Browder, daughter of Richard / and Mary Thompson Browder, married a cousin Isham Browder. Their children were Mary and Richard so far as is known, V/illiam C. Browder, son of Kichard and Mary Thompson Browder, as related in above record, has left no record that can positively be traced. Littleberry's record is embraced in the above work just published. Nancy Browder, daughter of Richard and Mary Thompson Browder, married Thomas Williams and bore him six children, Hartwell W,, Edward, Lewis, Mary T., Nathan, and Jones Williams, This completes the full history so far as known by my father, Robert Browder, son of David and Mary Cousins Browder.
