Walt, My connection of Brandon lines goes back to William Brandon who married Jane Dodds. If you have seen the Brandons on the internet site the information given for William & Jane is not quite accurate. I haven't checked the Cothron/Vance line and right off hand don't know if Steve's line connects to this Elisha Cothron. Do you know who Elisha's father was? Judy M.
