Browning was born near Camden in 1808 and entered the New Jersey bar in 1834. He was a delegate at the New Jersey Constitutional Convention in 1843, and later was appointed Attorney General under Governor Charles C. Stratton and stayed on during second tenure of Governor Daniel Haines.[1] He would later serve as a delegate to the 1864 Democratic National Convention.
Abraham Browning should not be confused with Capt. Abraham M. Browning (1843-1880), who owned a farm called Cherry Hill Farm in what is now Cherry Hill NJ, on the site of the present-day Cherry Hill
Capt. A.M. Browning's Cherry Hill Farm helped give Cherry Hill, New Jersey its name, [2] though there is evidence that the term goes back to the colonial period.[3]

Some background: In 1876 Abraham Browning, an attorney, politician, and the owner of Cherry Hill Farm, which gave its name to the town that now stands in its place, coined the term, comparing New Jersey, two-thirds of which was rolling farmland, to a big barrel, open on both ends, from which Pennsylvanians and New Yorkers gobbled up the state's agricultural bounty."
