Hi, (cousin) Janet & list! I, too, am interested in this information as Liner Willis BRANSON (b. abt. 1790, brother to Jan's Catherine) is my 4ggf. We are almost positive Liner's father was Amos who m. Hannah TIMMONS. However, we don't have conclusive evidence that it was Amos b. 1755 Hardy Co., VA. (s/o Lionel BRANSON & Rebecca ROGERS) or an Amos ( s/o Lionel BRANSON b. 1753 & Rebecca MILLAR. I currently don't show an Amos for this couple. ANY help is appreciated. This has been a mystery for a long time.
