Still researching the BRANCH family who lived in Lamard Township of Wayne County Illinois 1852 to 1900, near Geff (Jeffersonville). The Rev. Sam'l S. BRANCH had ten children who grew up, married and remained in that area during those years, and many grandchildren. Sam'l S and many family members are buried in Pleasant Grove Cemetery near Geff. His children were: 1. Cyrenis "Si" BRANCH had four daughters and lived in Indian Prairie near Xenia. Si is buried at Powers Cemetery. His children: Rilla Belle SCHOENINGER, Lucy HAWLEY, LuElla COCHRAN, and "Louie" OLIVER. 2. Hannah Branch married Oliver HAMMOND, lived in Brush Creek Township, is buried at Campground Cemetery, Xenia. They had Laura J. who married John E. OSBORN. Oliver Hammond died in the Civil War and Hannah married second, Titus BUFFINGTON. They had Myrtle W. "Nannie" who married Mr. HOWARD and moved to Denver. 3. Samuel Curtis BRANCH (twin) - my line 4. Stephen Smith BRANCH (twin) married four times 5. Mary BRANCH born 1837, disappears between 1855 and 1860; may have died. 6. Sarah Ann BRANCH born 1838, disappears between 1862 and 1884. May have married Mr. BOGGS. In1868, a Sarah Ann BOGGS signed as witness to half-sister Hannah BRANCH HAMMOND's Civil War pension. 7. Joseph BRANCH moved to Minnesota after returning from the Civil War. 8. Levi B. BRANCH married Clarinda PHILLIPS, moved to Kansas but buried at Centralia Illinois. Daughter Ida Elizabeth BRANCH never married, died young. 9. Marilla BRANCH married William DUDREY, moved to Kansas where she died age 36. I would particularly like to find information on the two daughters Mary and Sarah Ann. Any BOGGS researchers who have a family member marrying a Sarah Ann in Wayne County about 1855-1865? ALSO would like to know more about "Nannie" BUFFINGTON who married ---- HOWARD. From her father's obit, I know that Mr. Howard was still living in Denver in 1906, and worked as a machinist in a Denver foundry...... AND Nannie's half sister Laura J. who married John E. OSBORN. Would like to correspond with anyone researching any of these families. Carolyn Remember, you have a friend in Oklahoma!
