Lionel and his >family were the only Branson family, Mr. Wood knew of in Hardy >County, We have not been able to officially connect the Amos BRANSON b. 1755 Hardy Co., VA. either to his parents who we believe was Lionel or to a son (my 4ggf) Liner Willis. Below is the line we think is most correct. Some thought, as Anne, that Amos was the son of Lionel son of Lionel however the dates aren't right. Amos does fit in the dates of Lionel "Lindell" 's children but again, all unconfirmed. I personally would LOVE to know as this Amos is probably my 5ggf.
