Submitted by James L. Branson of Philadelphia The grandmother of William on the mother's side who married Elizabeth Osmund was Elizabeth Day. The grandmother on the mother's side was Martha Bailey The names of the grandfather and mother of William are not given but their children's names follow:Elizabeth, Mary, Thomas,David,John Day Branson,Sarah, Joseph, Jonathan, Lionel, Rebecca, William and Day Branson. It must have been John Day Branson who married Martha Antrim Osmund for he is the only John who is brother to out great grandfather William who married Elizabeth Osmund, the daughter of Martha Antrim Osmund, widow of John Osmund. Jacob Branson's account found among Isiah Branson's papers says, speaking of Martha Antrim Osmund:" she was again married to John Branson, my father's brother, hence became my aunt". It seems singular that he does not mention the names of his grandparents, though he gives all their children's names, and mentions the name of his great grandmothers, Elizabeth Day and Martha Bailey. John Day Branson married Martha Osmund, widow of John Osmund, and daughter of Thomas and Sarah Antrim; and William Branson, our great grandfather married Elizabeth Osmund, the daughter of widow Osmund, whom John Day Branson married. But what was the given name of the father of these 13( I only count 12 children..anne) children,one of whom married the widow Osmund and the other who married the daughter of her first husband? John Day Branson whom we know as John Branson without the middle name married Martha Osmund, widow of John Osmund according to State records of New Jersey on the 6th day of December 1748. And William Branson, his brother married Elizabeth Osmund, the daughter of John and Martha Osmund April 11, 1753 according to these same records.
