History of Chester County, PA, by Heathcote, p. 346, mentions that Mary TATE, dau. of ROBERT TATE of Philadelphia, m. William Branson, merchant of Philadelphia. Branson was b. in 1684 in Sonning, Berkshire, England. Mary died in Phila. 1725/26. Perhaps a search of Philadelphia Quaker records might yield more information about this family.
