Surnames: Branson, Surratt, Fleming, Jones Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/kdF.2ACIB/192.1.1.1 Message Board Post: My information on John and Sarah Branson is not very extensive. John H. Branson was married to Sallie Surratt. Their granddaughter Mary Elizabeth "Betty" Fleming was from Dobson, NC, near Mt. Airy. I would guess that John and Sally lived in northwest NC in the area of Surry or Rowan County, NC. The information for John H. Branson and Sallie Surratt was taken from my greatgrandmother Betty Jones family bible. She lists the parents of Susan Branson, her mother, as John H. Branson and Sallie Surratt. There are no dates for John and Sallie in the entry. The information below is taken from my family history and includes information on Betty and her family. Jonathan Monroe Jones was the son of John A. Jones and Elizabeth Stockner. He was born October 7, 1858 and died April 8, 1937. He is buried at Epworth Methodist Church in Amelia Co., Virginia. Monroe’s mother died when he was seven years old and he was raised by his father and Nancy Payne. Monroe married Mary Elizabeth "Betty" Fleming on March 20, 1881 in Cana, Carroll Co., Virginia. Betty’s family was from near Dobson, North Carolina. Betty was born May 14, 1859 and died December 26, 1920. Betty was the daughter of John A. Fleming and Masey Susan Branson. John A. Fleming was the son of Ruth Fleming and Susan Branson was the daughter of John H. Branson and Sallie Surratt.
