Thank you KathyMir and Mary Douglas for your help. I didn't have Thomas L. Branham's wife's name of Shely, Mary F. Sorry in taking so long to respond. Sometimes LIFE takes me away from the delights and challenges of GENEALOGY. I also didn't have the 1840 census on Nimrod Branham ... Thanks again ... Nickie Today's Topics: 1.
