Fran I found most of this information on family search.com., hence the name Emich/Enoch, Branson/Bronson. Do you have any information on where you found the information that Edmond is the son of John and Prudence? I do not seem to find that connection anywhere. Would you know if they had any more children? Thanks Noah Descendants of John Smothers Generation No. 1 1. John2 Smothers (Andrew1) was born Abt. 1762 in Abingdon, Washington County, Virginia.
