There are several known George Washington Brattons in my family. The earliest was a son of William Bratton -- George Bratton b 1776 in Newberry Twp., York Co, PA. I tend to think his full name was George Washington Bratton because of his birthdate and the names of decendants in his family. Another son of William Bratton was Paris Bratton b 1775. The next GW I know of was George Washington Bratton b June 1, 1812 in Butler Co, PA, son of Paris Bratton and Hannah Pierce. This GW married Margaret Clark and they moved to Boone Co, Missouri around Civil War time. One of GW and Margaret Clark Bratton's sons was George Washington Bratton Jr. b Feb 26, 1850 in PA who married Eliza Anne Banes in Missouri. Another son of Paris Bratton and Hannah Pierce was John Bratton b ca 1815 in Butler Co., PA. John married Rebecca Harris in 1840 in Tuscarawas Co, OH. They had a son George W. Bratton b ca 1842. This family moved to Pottawattamie County, Iowa. The George Bratton b 1776 had a son William b Dec 13, 1804. William Bratton and his wife Isabella Collins had a son George W. Bratton b Dec 19, 1842 in Allegheny Co, PA. This GW enlisted in Company E, 155th Infantry Regiment Pennsylvania on 22 August 1862 and was killed on 13 December 1862 in Fredericksburg, VA.
