BRANDON/BRANHAM FAMILY: The 1850 census had the family called Branham and then corrected it in the 1860 to Brandon. This is what drives you crazy when researching. Most of the Brandons settled in the Richwood Township with the Rowdens, Lawsons and some of my Whitakers. You will find most of the Brandons buried at "Red Cemetery" close to the "Little Tavern Creek" at Hwy 42 in Maries County. Calvin & Ida Brandon are buried at Seaton Cemetery also in Maries County. ====================Richwood Twp================= 1850 census: David Branham age 3 (Mo) Malissa Branham age 1 (Mo) (living with James & Ruth Boyd from (Va) 1850 census: John Branham age 23 (Mo) Eli Branham age 32 (Tn) (living with John & Nancy Brumley) 1850 census:------No Townships formed yet------------ Adam Branham/Brandon age 51 (Va) Rachel age 48 (Ga) (1st wife) William age 19 (Tn) John age 12 (Ala) Margaret age 9 (Mo) Christena age 21 (Ind) (Living next door to Adam in 1850)********* Colom Lawson age 25 (Ky) Rachel age 22 (Tn) Margaret Branham age 16 (Tn) 1860 census: (Richwood Twp.)------------------- Adam Brandon age 60 (Va) Julia A. age 47 (Va) (2nd wife) Margaret age 19 (Mo) Jesse Blankenship age 13 (Mo) 1870 census: (Richwood Twp)--------------------- Adam Brandon age 73 (Va) (notice 13 years older for Adam & Julia) Julia A.age 60 (Va) William A. age 15 (Mo) Stephen age 11 (Mo) John age 8 (Mo) Samuel Hickman age 24 (Mo) 1880 census: (Miller Twp) in Maries County Julia Brandon age 70 (Va) (widowed) (Living with in-laws Catherine & C.

Hi Jim, I will print this out and take a look at what I have to help you, but gotta go check on my mom first.

Shirley, The correction on the Martin Family has been changed on the website. Per Peggy Hake. DeVere

The following information is taken from my data base of 84,000 folks in Osage Co MO and (Maries County bef 1851), including every marriage in the county before 1940, and every individual found in county records before 1870. (the current project is to extract the 1880 census of Osage county. I do monitor the Maries County web site and am always glad to exchange information with family genealogist. George W. Martin married first 11 Oct 1840 in Gasconade Co MO to Mary Ann Vaughan. (the earlier 1836 marriage to Polly Cowen is to the widow Polly Cowen to another George Martin) George W. Martin is in the 1840 census of Gasconade Co MO page 10. with new bride. Living next to her family. George and Mary Ann had two children. William b. 1841 and James b. 1843. (this is James Oliver under discussion) George was widowed and married second to Louisa Atkinson 1 May 1846 in Osage Co MO. They had son John b. 1847 and Lucinda b. 1849. the Mother Louisa Atkinson Martin died Feb 1850. In the 1850 census Osage co MO Jackson Twp Fam #178 (quite possibly near present day Tavern MO) George Martin 28 b. NC is widowed again with his children William age 9 , James age 7. John age 3 and Lucinda age 1. he married the third time to Nancy Hughes, 2 Nov 1850 in Osage Co MO. and a daughter Louisa born 1852. This Louisa is named as an heir of Elijah Breeding. and given as daughter of Lucinda Breeding. Widowed he married for the 4th time to Elizabeth Breeding, 10 Nov 1854 in Osage Co MO.(Bray in marriage record? had Elizabeth married earlier or was Breeding just shortened to Bray) and had children, Leander, Elijah T. and Benjamin, all named in her father Elijah Breeding's will. George 37 TN, and His fourth wife Elizabeth b. 35 TN show up in the 1860 census Maries co MO Miller Twp Fam # 195: all children accounted for. James 17, William 19 next door. Louisa 9, and Leander 4 , Elijah 3 and Benjamin 1. By 1870 census Elizabeth is widowed living with father. Glad to provide sources and ancestors to any descendant. Error comes from early genealogies that confused the George Martin's. and one that gave this James to a John wife unknown? (the children named as siblings all belong to George W. Martin from census data.) There were 17 men named George Martin born in the 1800's in my data base. Also in 1880 census James O. Martin says his father born in GA. However even George seemed confused as to where he was born? NC TN? so find me a John Martin born in GA with son James b. in 1843 and I'll rethink my position. As a matter of fact the only John Martin that could be a father of James, was in Ark in 1844 having son Stephen. Glad Shirley pointed out the error, Peggy Hake is a GREAT resource for Miller County Missouri, and I know we all appreciated the stories that fill in the blanks from the names and dates that comprised most of what we have about our ancestors.

THE MARTIN FAMILY by: Peggy Smith Hake Moses Martin, progenitor of some Miller Co. families, was born in Bedford Co., Virginia on 12 January 1755. In June, 1777, he married Ann Heath of North Carolina.. In 1776, Moses enlisted for service in the Revolutionary War. At the time of enlistment he was living in Surry Co., No. Carolina. He was a member of Capt. Richard Goode's Company of Col. Martin Armstrong's North Carolina Regiment---a drummer. He took part in an expedition into Indian country and was involved in several skirmishes with the Indians. He had served for 8 months and 21 days when discharged. In his elderly years, he was pensioned while living in Pulaski Co., Kentucky (Pension Claim # 5435). After his discharge, they continued to live in Surry County, No. Carolina for ten years; then moved to Knox County, in eastern Tennessee and lived a few years; and finally moved to Pulaski Co., Kentucky where he remained until his death on August 29, 1837. John Martin, Sr. was a son of Moses and Ann (Heath) Martin. He was born in Surry Co., No. Carolina on May 17, 1784. In 1802, at an early age, he married Rachel Smith, probably in Pulaski Co., KY. John and Rachel continued to live in Kentucky where they reared their family. John died in April, 1860 in Pulaski Co., KY. During the War of 1812 John Martin served as a private under the command of Capt. Samuel Tate of the Kentucky 7th Regiment, Mounted Volunteers. He received bounty land in Kentucky, 160 acres, for his military service during the War of 1812. His will was probated April 16, 1860 at Somerset, Pulaski Co., KY. John Martin, Jr. son of John and Rachel (Smith) Martin and a grandson of Moses and Ann (Heath) Martin, was born 16 July 1814 in Pulaski Co., KY. On Nov. 22, 1834, he married Cicily/Sisley Ann Roberts in Pulaski Co., KY. About 1850, he and his family migrated to Miller County and settled in Glaize township near Ulman's Ridge. At the age of 46 years, John enlisted in the 6th Regiment of the Missouri Cavalry in the Civil War and served mainly on scout duty in Missouri and Arkansas. Due to exposure during a long march from Batesville to Helena, Arkansas, he contacted health problems and was given a disability discharge after about a year of service. John and Sisley (Roberts) were parents of several children including: George born ca 1840 married Nancy Bilyeu; John III, born ca 1843 married (1) Eliza M. Dunnington (2) Violet Ann Dunnington (sisters); Mary/Polly born ca 1844 married Alexander Wilson; Gideon born ca 1846 married ? ; Benjamin born ca 1856 married Mrs. C.J. King; Sarah M. born ca 1858 married George W. Curry; and Rosena born ca 1861 married (1) W.T. Sidewell (2) James J. Pennington. John Martin III, son of John, Jr. and Cicily (Roberts) and a great grandson of Moses Martin, Revolutionary War soldier, was born in Pulaski Co., KY about 1843 and came to Miller Co. with his parents in the 1850's. He married Eliza M. Dunnington in Miller Co., on April 24, 1862. In the tradition of his ancestors, who had served in the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, he served at the same time as his father in the Civil War. He was in battles across the South in Mississippi, Tennessee, and Alabama. His first wife, Eliza M., died in 1876 and was buried at Hawkins cemetery near Brumley. A few months later he married Eliza's sister, Violet Ann Dunnington, in Brownsville, Texas. By 1880, they were back in Miller Co. John and his first wife, Eliza, were parents of 5 children: Mary Isabelle born 1863 married Frank W. Fendorf; Ada born 1866 married Rial M. Bass; Chester born ca 1868 married ? ; Nettie born 1871 married ? ; Joseph born ca 1874 married ? ; His children by Violet were: Mira born ca 1878 and Benjamin L. born ca 1879. There were probably other children after the census of 1880. About 1884, John Martin III, with most of his family, immigrated west and finally located at Joseph, Oregon. His oldest daughter, Mary Isabelle, who married Frank W. Fendorf, remained in Miller Co. John's second wife, Violet Ann, died in Joseph, Oregon in January 1899. About 1920 John moved to California and died in Sacramento on Feb. 11, 1925 and is buried in that city. Another Martin immigrant to Miller County was George Martin. He and his family came to Miller County about 18676 after he had served in the Civil War with a Kentucky Regiment. George and his wife, Nancy, settled near the John Martin family in Glaize township. It is certain they were kinfolks, probably cousins, and were most likely grandsons of Moses Martin, the Revolutionary War soldier. George and Nancy had a large family; at least 10 children. The 8 oldest were born in Pulaski Co., KY while the other 2 were born in Miller Co.

Martin, son of George and Nancy Martin, and probably a great grandson of old Moses Martin of Bedford Co., VA and Revolutionary War fame, was born 22 Dec. 1860 in Pulaski Co., KY. In 1881 he married Zelphia Winfrey, daughter of William C. and Christena Winfrey, natives of Kentucky and Ohio respectively. According to his obituary, he was survived by his wife, Zelphia and 5 children including Cordell Martin who married Vernetta (Nettie) Wyrick, daughter of John Henry Wyrick and Rachel Elizabeth (Kinder); George Martin, Mrs C.O. Robinson all of Miller County; Mrs. K.P. King of Kansas; and William C. Martin of Montana. He was also survived by a granddaughter, Nova Martin. Moses G. Martin united with the Baptist church at Gott in 1887 and later transferred his membership to the Ulman Methodist church. He was a member of the Ulman Camp # 808 Woodmen of America. When Moses G. Martin died on October 10, 1928, at the age of 68 years, he was buried at Gott cemetery in Glaize township. There are many Martin descendants living in the same area of Miller County where their ancestors homesteaded and settled almost 125 years ago.
