My hopes in doing this are to find possible connections with all those tracing the Eli & Levi Branson descendents. They may or may not be related. If not related, I'm guessing that one of the Eli's was influential enough to have had friends or neighbors name their children after these men. Yesterday I shared 5 Levi Branson ____ names, and today's here's the Eli's that I could find, simply using searches. Eli Branson Hill (Several Hill- Branson names stemming from Guildford Co. NC, but tied to the mother of the clan, a Mary Branson) Eli Branson Hill b 4/19/1852 in Randolph Co. Indiana, parents Thomas Hill & Nancy Davis Eli Branson Frazier b. 1826 in Guildford Co. NC parents Henry Frazer and Mary Atwell Eli Branson Garner b. 1862 (1850 Moore Co. NC) parents Elias & Lydia
