Hi ya'll, This is what makes the George Brandons confusing. I have 3 Georges in my files, George b: 1702, George Jr. b: 1736, and George Sr. b: Aug 2, 1770. The 1770 George Sr. is shown in kinship report as "husband of George's granddaughter", the granddaughter being Sidney McGuire (dau of John McGuire, Jr.) and her grandfather being the 1702 George. I have no ancestors or descendants for the 1770 George Sr. He simply pops up from nowhere as the husband of Sidney. It might be that this George Sr. descended down a different line (that I have no info for) from the 1702 George, or perhaps he came from a different line of Brandons altogether (doubtful).....I simply don't know at this point. Are you confused? The more I write this, the more confused I get. I'm listing my Brandons here. It covers 4 generations, starting with John Brandon, Sr. b: 1662 at the top. Gens 1 and 2 come almost entirely from the LDS Ancestral files extracted by me at Salt Lake City in October, 1997. If somone who descends down a different line than mine can help fill in the gaps, it might help establish the link between the 1702 George (and his son, the 1736 George, Jr.) and this 1770 George Sr. who came from ????? ancestors and had ????? children (?). Fill in the ?????'s please. Bill Descendants of John Brandon, Sr. Generation No. 1 1. JOHN1 BRANDON, SR. was born 1662 in Hanover Twp, Dauphin Co., PA, and died Unknown. He married UNKNOWN Unknown.
