I really appreciate you sharing your information. You obviously have spent some time researching this family. Regarding Zachariah Lyon Branson, brother of John Branson, I too have seen several records on his parents. One has Zachariah the son of Levi Branson and Elizabeth Hutchins and another has him son of a John Branson. Based on your comments, I assume you would lean toward John Branson as the father of Zachariah, John and William. I have not seen anything on this John Branson, Sr. Thanks again.
