This story is about Jess Jr. who descended from a long line of ancestors who lived in Europe, Virginia, Kentucky, and Missouri. While there is a lot of speculation about his ancestors, there is also a good deal of disagreement. That is also true in the broader sense. Anyone with an interest in their family's genealogy needs to realize that a single case of infidelity or name change some place along the line can upset the apple cart. He was born on a farm in Missouri and moved with their family to Washington State during the Second World War when jobs in the defense Industry were a way of putting years of depression behind you. Jess Jr. was very fortunate in that most of his experiences and learning led from one type of activity to another but always building on the other. .Jess had an uncle ancestor who lived to be 102 years old and before he died he revealed a book that describes the genealogy of Brownings who arrived in America in 1621 and are thought to be the ancestors of following generations, mostly in the Southern States. The book listed Jr.'s grandfather as one of the last entries.
