According to the GENTRY-WORTH COUNTY HISTORY - 1882, Sarah (SMITH)RICHMOND came to Missouri with her family in 1830 from KY and married Valentine BRANSON in 1831 in Osage CO, MO, then came to Gentry (later Worth CO, MO) in 1845. This means that Valentine born in 1875 did NOT marry Sealy Beck as often reported. The Valentine that married Sealy in Gasconade must have been the one that married Alpha SHURLS or some unknown/unresearched Valentine.
