Hi Janet, Yes, it's a mystery. Searching Ancestry.com seems to favor Amos s/o Lionel & Rebecca ROGERS. But I didn't find any children. Searching on Liner (my 4ggf) does seem to favor Amos & Hannah TIMMONS as his parents but no parents for Amos. Such a brick wall! We are pretty sure that those of us who descend from Thomas BRANSON & Elizabeth DAY (which we may or may not depending on Amos' parents) started in ENG with Nathaniel BRANSON & Ann ?'s son William who was b. in ENG but d. in NJ. Yes I would love the info on Patrick WILEY and Catherine BRANSON. Thanks!
