I have been unable to go back further than great, great grandfather John W. Brannan wife Lucinda Brown father of William Ruffin Brannan whose 7 children include Jessie( married Lillie then Zilphia), Lula( married Robert Hatcher), Ella( married Jessie Wilder), Edward ( married Dorthy), Annie (married Paul Whitley), Bertie Maynard (married Melba Maud Whitley), and Lettie ( married Jonah Parrish). Have you found John W.Brannan's parents! Orice Edison Brannan Jr. ( Eddie ) Bremen Georgia
