You mention Wm. BRANDON m. Jane DODDS. In my database I have missed that connection. I have these William BRANDONs b. 1748 NC m. BREVARD b.1688 PA m.Isabel b. 1725 m. Ann CATHEY b. 1748 NC m. Hannah IRWIN (my connection with the BRANDONs) b. 1776 Do you happen to see any connections. On the COTHRONs 1-David VANCE Jr b. 1780 PA m. Jane Gillespie b. 1800 TN 2- Thomas J Vance b. 1832 TN m. Matilda COOK b.1836 TN 3-John VANCE b. 1857 TN m. Susan TEMPLETON b.1857 TN 4-Susan Kathryn VANCE b. 1892 TN m.
