James Curry Bratton was named after his father and his mother's name.(Curry) My father is still living and I would love to be able to find out about his Grandfather for him? My father had 4 daughters, so the Bratton name ended with us. I don't know why no one in the family asked questions when someone was alive to give some answers. Maybe my great grandfather's death was not a accident?? Who knows, I am just assuming that he died logging??? I was just hoping to find something on the internet, but I guess not. There are so many James, and with no other information, it is hard. Thanks for taking the time to write. Sharon
