Surnames: Branson, Dale Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/kdF.2ACIB/190.2 Message Board Post: I was just investigating a Jonathan Branson in the 1850 Fed Census in Clay Co., IN. He is 50, b. TN (ca. 1800). His wife is Mary, age 45, b. TN (ca. 1805). Eight children are listed in the household, some with very interesting names such as Mineny, Vant, and Amantha. Could this be the Jonathan Branson + Mary Ann Innskeep that you refer to??? My interest is in Amantha Branson who *may* be the Ama or "Amy" Branson that married into my Dale line in Harrison Co., MO, in 1856.
