Phyllis, if these are your people, or you link them to some of yours, let me know if there is more that I can do for you. A good place to search is this address...it has a lot of links to Branch County Death Records from the county clerks office, with form to fill out to order, if you like. There are alsolinks to marriages,(not complete), and Historic Deaths from right after the civil war era, the 1870 census and many more.
