I don't know but it would make sense that the Millar family would be in the same area that Lionel Branson was. Are we positive that the will we have seen for Lionel Branson is the elder Lionel and not the younger Lionel? Both had wives named Rebecca and supposedly both men died around the same time. The Branson book done by Wandlings lists Lionel's line as: Lionel married Rebecca Rogers Amos Branson Lionel married Rebekah Millar Sarah Branson married Eli Lehew Ann Elizabeth Lehew married Thomas Buck McKay Charles McKay married Etta Sowers Hunter McKay married Miriam Lake Branson McKay of Belmont, Mass.
