Surnames: Bratton Crownover Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/FdF.2ACEB/395 Message Board Post: I am seeking descendants of L S Bratton (ca 1839 AL). I had thought him a casualty of the Civil War. I may be back on the track of Lemuel (or Samuel) Bratton, who was living with his grandfather in AL as a 10 yo in 1850. In 1860 L S Bratton (ca 1839) was living next to his uncle in AR. In 1870 an L S Bratton of the right age (ca 1839 AL) was married to Emily and living in DeKalb Co, AL with a dau whose name started with an L. In 1880 an L S Braton was living with wife M E and children in Hamilton Co, TX. In 1900 a Lemuel Bratton and wife Mary E were living in Hamilton Co, TX. A son was named Alexander. Probable daughter Lona(?) was living next door and married to a Cunningham. Can anyone tell me whether I have correctly followed Lemuel/Samuel or has family naming led me astray.
