Frances Morgan Browning (1919-2007)

I am sorry to report the passing of a Morgan cousin today up in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Frances Morgan was born 28 January 1919 in Campbell County, Virginia, to Hubert Payne Morgan and the former Jeannette Perrow. Both the Morgan and Perrow families were closely associated with the history of "Shady Grove," the historic home featured in my recent book.

Frances was preceded in death by her husband Harry Frederick Browning.

She had a keen interest in history and genealogy and was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, the United Daughters of the Confederacy, and the Fluvanna County Historical Society in Virginia. She was also a member of the New Hope Christian Church in Danieltown, Virginia.

I hope ye socks will join me in offering condolences to the surviving members of her immediate family: son Wallace and his wife Brenda; daughter Peggy and her husband Charles Greer; son Roger and his wife Verona; sister Ruth Morgan Bailey; brother H.P. Morgan, Jr.; 8 grandchildren; and 15 great-grandchildren.

The family is asking memorial contributions be made to Hospice of the Piedmont, 2200 Old Ivy Road, Suite #2, Charlottesville, VA 22903.

Thanks to cousin Bryan for keeping the dryer posted on this.
