    3. Hi, Does anyone have any information on Mary Catherine Cornell married to Samuel Branham? She married under the name of Roberson (Robertson/Robison/Robeson), but later documents of Samuel Branhams list her last name as Cornell. I have nothing absolute on her family. Some say her brothers may have been George Washington Cornell, and Harvey Cornell. One story I have is that her mother came to Missouri from Redbird Indiana when the 3 were kids. Census says Mary was born in Illinois. (several census reports). However, if one census taker copied some information from the previous one (I don't know if they do this...speculation on my part) it could be that the handwriting on the first census looked like Illinois when in fact it was Indiana. Census also says her mother was born in Ohio and her father in Kentucky. I have 3 different birth years on her. 1852, 1855, and 1848. The later one was on her tombstone which is in Nelson Cemetary along with her daughter Maggie (Bran! ham) Sikes and about 4 other people. She was aparently called Catherine. (Spelled different ways). If anyone has any information that would take me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated. Goldie Vining [email protected]
