I am descended from BRANNANs who settled in Johnston County, NC. My gr-gr-grandfather was Cader Brannan. He had a grandson named Cader Brannan, who is listed on the Jo Co 1850 census as age 5 and again on the 1860 census as age 15. He disappears from Jo Co records thereafter. Recently I discovered Brannans in Mississippi, and one of them was Cader Brannan. He was a patentee for land in Greene Co, MS on June 30, 1892. I think that he might be connected to my Johnston Co Brannans, since he has that rather rare name, Cader. If anyone knows anything about the Greene Co, MS Brannans, please contact me.
