While trying to trace the roots of Sealy, Cely, Sarah Beck lst wife of Valentine Branson, I found the following marriage announcement for a Beck: John B. Craighead to Mrs. Lavina Beck, relict of John E. Beck. does "relict of" mean she was his divorced wife, his widow or what??????
I was down at LDS yesterday and found a listing of Bransons in Tennessee. Bledsoe: Andrew 1815, John 1815 Jefferson: Daniel 1822 Grainger: David 1821 John 1805 (same one that moved to Bledsoe) Jonathan 1805 Lemuel 1805, 1804 & 1821 Nathaniel 1821 Davidson: Thomas 1811 Hope this helps someone Sharon
Posted on: Branson Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/FamilyAssoc/Branson/82 Surname: BRANSON, AGEE, ANDERSON ------------------------- Looking for info on Julia Francis Branson wife of Isaac Newton Agee. Julia was born 22 Feb 1851 in Casey Co., Kentucky and died 23 May 1930 in Oklahoma. Her daughter, Lenora Kathryn Agee, married Robert Bailas Anderson.
Did anyone ever find concrete information on Sealy Beck aka Cely aka Sarah that Valentine (the one born 1785) married in Gasconade County on 4/1/1832 ??? Also, I have 4 land patents for a "Valentine" 1. 10/1/1840 in Maries Co 2. 1853 in Gasconade 3. 1854 same area as #2 4. 1857 Worth County.. to a Valentine of "Gentry" Co. Valentine's son Isaac was in Gentry in 1855 marrying so is #4 a land transfer of the Valentine born 1785? Are land transfers #1,2, and #3, by Valentine born 1810, son of Andrew and F. Pereby?? Anyone who has sorted out the Valentine migrations and can help is greatly appreciated. Sharon
If anyone has one of these WFT volumes, I would really appreciate a lookup. Martha Jane Scott (who married Reynolds) born in Missouri on 2/17/1849. Father's name: Scott Mother's name: Branson I'd like to know the first name of her mother. A birth of a Martha Jane Scott in Missouri appears on: WFT Volumes 22-Tree 2959, Vol 26- Tree 1939, and Vol 40- Tree 1450. Many thanks Sharon

Sharon, Early Shockley Families shows the Matilda Shockley, b. 31 Jan 1829 in Gasconade Co., Mo, the daughter of Owen Shockley/Elizabeth Briggs, md. an Owen Lee. I told you the next door neighbor was a Thomas Shockley. I apologize, this was an error. It was a Richard Shockley, the son of Isaiah Shockley/Ruth Young. He md. l) 20 Nov 1826, Elizabeth Briggs and 2) 14 Oct 1830, Elizabeth Burgess and was shown in the 1850 census of Gasconade Co. as follows: 20/20 Richard Shockley 50 M farmer b. VA Elizabeth 40 F TN Eliza J. 17 F MO Caroline 15 F MO Elizabeth 12 F MO Isaiah 9 M MO Tennesse A. 5 F MO Sally M. Bronson 3 F MO John M. Shockley 2 M MO I "suspect" Sally M. was a Branson, the daughter of William R. and Matilda. The children listed are with the second wife. Elizabeth (Lucas) Ruth

Posted on: Branson Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/FamilyAssoc/Branson?read=78 Surname: Branson ------------------------- Does anyone have any information on Sorrell Branson from missouri? Probably around 1840's or50's. Norma P.
Subj: Matilda Shockley Date: 07/23/2000 5:41:06 AM Central Daylight Time From: syvonne@earthlink.net To: earuth@aol.com Saw your posting and also am trying to find Matilda's lineage. How are you doing on it??? By the Way...did Mary Branson marry a Scott????? Sharon Sharon, I have a copy of early Shockley Families of Virginia, Tennessee, Maryland and Delaware, compiled by a (Genealogist,) Mrs. David A. Tripp. 3980 Eccles Ave., Ogden, Utah in 1970, but have been unsuccessful in finding how Matilda fits in. In 1850 William R. Branson/Matilda Shockley are living next door to the Thomas Shockley who md. 1) Elizabeth Burgess and 2) Elizabeth Briggs. This usually indicates a close relationship? If the census dates are correct? Matilda Shockley would have been only about 14 years old when she md. William R. Branson? You asked if Mary Branson md. a Scott. Mary "Ann" is mine. Isaac N. Lucas md. Ann Branson on 17 Nov. 1867 in Gasconade Co., MO. My aunt Louise told me she was always called "Grandma Ann". I have searched the 1860 Gasconade Co. census several times looking for Mary Ann's siblings. They must have been hiding from the cenus taker? I found "Ann", age 18, working as a servant in Osage Co., MO in 1860; in 1870 I. N. Lucas and family are listed in Osage Co. and by 1880 they are residing in Pulaski Co., MO. According to I. N. Lucas' civil war pension file, they moved to Texas about 1889. In 1900 they are Ellis Co., TX and in 1910 they are in Tarrant Co., TX. I have copies of their death certificates: Mary Ann Lucas died of Senile Pneumonia - Contributary (Secondary) La Grippe, at the Harris Sanitorium in Ft. Worth, TX. Isaac N. Lucas was "kicked by a horse".. Also, I found their tombstones at the Everman Cemetary in Ft. Worth - located out Hwy 35W, about 10 miles from downtown Ft. Worth. Father Mother Isaac N. Lucas Mary A. Lucas May 18, 1842 April 4, 1842 July 13, 1920 December 16, 1913 "She was the Sunshine of our Home" Everman is now a suburb of Ft. Worth, but was a small town near Ft. Worth back then. Since then I have been in contact with Rodger Branson, a descendant of Mary Ann's brother, James Henry, who went by the name of "Henry" and moved to Arkansas. Sharon, I am aware the census data is not always reliable, but I thought you might be interested to know Mary Ann's mother is shown as being born in KY in the 1910 census. Elizabeth (Lucas) Ruth San Antonio, TX
