Thank you for the info you sent.... IN looking closely at Aquilla as a possible father to Charles Brannum...with Jeffery being the same as Charles... I tend to doubt it... I also received some info from a James VanDerMark on this family and he seems to have EXTENSIVE family info on Michael Brannum and all of his children. He does show Aquilla and Vina and Jefferey, but he also shows that Jeffery married 1st to Alvida holly and 2nd to Aramintha Jane Holly. James shows 13 children for Michael and his wife.... I still can not find a logical connection from Michael's children...but know there has to be... Elizabeth Brannum, Charles Aunt, was living with them in 1880 and this james sent me an OBIT on Elizabeth when she died in 1913...no doubt she is his aunt.... So one of Elizabeth's brothers has to be Charles Father.... james does not have complete info on all of th! e children.. But I will take their names and look at each more closely in teh 1860 censuses of Mo and Ark and maybe even TEnn.... Let me know what you think... Thanks. lance
