Narrative

Archives, Richmond, VA:**** Petition of Sarah Duncan, October 28, 1793; The petition of Sarah Duncan, widow of Charles Duncan, dec'd, Mary, Nimrod, William, Charles, Shadrack Duncan, children of the said Charles Duncan and Sarah Duncan, in behalf of themselves and Isaac, John, Milly, Henry, Zachery and Elizabeth Duncan, children of the aforesaid Charles and Sarah Duncan, but now under age, humbly showeth that in March 1789, the aforesaid Charles Duncan died intestate leaving aforesaid heirs to a certain tract of land in Culpeper Co., 355 acres which according to the laws of the State must be equally divided among the said children, but such is the situation, it will by no means admit of a division and your petitioners humbly pray that an act may pass vesting the said lands in the hands of John Thornton, John Slaughter Jr., Charles Browning, Isaac Browning, Gent., or any three of them to dispose of on the most advantageous terms for the benefit of the said widow and children aforesaid. Signed Sarah Duncan. Witnesses (MAD: sic): Mary Covington, Nimrod Duncan, William Duncan, Charles Duncan and Shadrack Duncan.**** From the petition it can be seen the Charles Duncan's wife was named Sarah, also note that Charles and Isaac named in the petition are the brothers of Sarah Browning. Thus we have the inference that Sarah Browning is the wife of Charles Duncan.

Duncan Grave Yard is located on a farm owned by Jesse T. Cobb (2004), and the stone tablet on her grave has the following inscription on it: Sarah Duncan, born 1742 died 1824 in the 82nd year of her age.

        From History of the Culpeper County Normans:
        Descendants of this family of Frances Norman and Francis Browning married into the families of Strother, Browning, Willis, Menefee, White, Pendleton, Smith, Duncan, Yates, Bruce, Kerfoot, Lillard, and others. "Greenfield" the ancestral home, in what is now Rappahannock County, has remained for years in possession of the descendants of Frances Norman Browning. John Armistead Browning, Jr. whose mother was Mary Lewis Willis, a great-granddaughter of Betty Washington, is said to have been the last Browning to have lived there. The late Justice George L. Browning of Orange, former member of Virginia Supreme Court, is said to have been the last survivor of the Brownings who were born at "Greenfield."
