Mary Jane Galer's "COLUMBUS, GA: Lists of People, 1828-1852, and Sexton's Reports to 1866" (2000), p. 193, shows: Mr. BROWNING died aged 52 years of pneumonia and was buried 25 JAN 1852 (from "January & February, 1852, Sexton's report of deaths [sic] in the city," dated 02 MAR 1852). [Rather than being accounts of death in Columbus, these periodic reports by the sexton recorded burials in the municipal cemeteries. They include persons who died outside of Columbus but were buried in the city, and they exclude persons who died in the city but were interred elsewhere. The sexton at that time was Jeremiah TERRY.] John H. Martin's "History of Columbus," Part 2 (1875), p. 62 (from a version of the sexton's periodic report that was published in the local newspaper), confirms the record.
This grave is probably not identifiably marked. Based on the date of burial, it should be in either the Old Cemetery section or Section 1, unless the grave was subsequently reinterred.
