    1. Re: [BRANSON] Thomas L. BRANSON/Elizabeth DAY Family File Updated 20 Oct. 2006
    2. It was interesting to find the Huff family on the Branson List. I have Branson's and Huff's in my line. Now I am beginning to believe that most of the Quaker line's in early American are related if only by marriage! My line is Daniel Huff and Mary Worley and their daughter Jemina who married Richard Jones (another Quaker family from PA, NJ, VA, NC, OH and to (Henderson Co.,KY). Somewhere along the line, they stopped being Quaker's. A great grandchild from this line married a Wiley who was an Amos Branson descendant through his daughter Catherine Branson!!!! There is a nice web site at _http://www.rootsweb.com/~quakers/huff.htm#FAMILY_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~quakers/huff.htm#FAMILY) which gives the Huff line with reference's to Quaker Meeting notes, if anyone is interested. Another interesting web site has the Journal of Daniel Huff, Jr. _http://www.rootsweb.com/~quakers/huff.htm_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~quakers/huff.htm) And of course there is the Quaker Corner with many Quaker family's listed. _http://www.rootsweb.com/~quakers/huff.htm_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~quakers/huff.htm) Another interesting line from my Richard Jones and Jemima Huff is as follows: Richard Jones's father was also Richard Jones b. circa 1706 and his wife was Miriam Coppock b. 1706. Miriam Coppock was the daughter of Aaron Coppock b. 1662 Cheshire, England and died in 1726 in Chester, PA and his wife Miriam Short b. 1664 Sussex, England and died 1726 in PA. Miriam Short arrived in PA aboard the ship "Welcome" with William Penn. This makes descendants of Miriam Short eligible for membership in a group of descendants of people who came to America on the ship "Welcome" with William Penn. The Coppock family genealogy can be found at _http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/h/a/w/Gary-Hawley/GENE8-0001.html_ (http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/h/a/w/Gary-Hawley/GENE8-0001.html) I hope this helps someone, Janet
