I am looking for the BRANNON/BRANON family. As early as I have is 1850 in Carter County, TN with Leroy and Emma BRANNON. Then in 1860 Emma was in east KY. She and her children moved between Knox and Laurel Counties, KY. A researcher had said that Leroy died in 1853, but did not provide proof and I have found no proof of it. Emma's last child was Mahala and she was born right around 1860. Leroy and Emma's children were: Lee Roy, William, Josephus (died as a child), Julia, Mahala. William died when he was about 16 years old in Andersonville, GA. He was in a prison camp. He had been a Union soldier and was captured. Lee Roy BRANON married Rachel ELLIOTT in Laurel, KY. Children: David, Creed Russell, Jesse Elliott, Levi, James, Minnie, Julia, Emma, Roy Lee and I believe there was another son. I am descended from Jesse Elliott BRANON. He moved to Marion Co., IL and married Minnie Lula GEORGE there in 1905. Meg
