Hi all. The very first issue of the "Branham Branches" newsletter will be mailed out to subscribers by the end of the week. There will be 10 issues of the newsletter per year. The newsletter focus's on the descendants of Barnabus Branham, who was born in VA about 1745. However, there are, and will be articles pertaining to many of the Branham/Brannum families, who were in VA, NC, TN, KY, and other parts of the country. Most will have some connection to the Branham/Brannum families in those 4 states. Barnabus Branham may have been born in Westmoreland Co., VA. He moved to Stokes Co., NC, sometime in the 1780's, and to Roane Co., TN before 1815. Sometime during the 1820's Barnabus along with some of his children, moved to Cumberland (present day Clinton) Co., KY. His children lived in TN, KY, IL and MO. I am very excited about the newsletter. It promises to be a great benefit; and of great interest, to Branham descendants. The first issue has some great information, and articles. Although queries and family stories from subscribers will be posted in the newsletter, much of the information will be "factual" information, obtained from real records. Anyone with any questions about the newsletter; or needing further information on subscribing to the newsletter, may feel free to contact me at branham-branches@digginbones.com This is not a newsletter which will be sent via email. It is a hard copy newsletter, that will be mailed out through postal mail. Rex Bertram 132 S. Butler St. Redkey, IN 47373

Hi all. I have just began publishing a newsletter for the Branham/Brannum family. This newsletter will pertain to all descendants of Barnabus Branham/Brannum, who was born in VA about 1745, and died in present day Clinton Co. after 1830. His children were Matilda born 1770-1780(maybe), Nathaniel (abt 1785), Richard (abt 1789), George Washington (1786), William (1798), Pleasant (1801), John (abt 1805), and Alexander (abt 1805). Many of these descendants remained in Clinton Co., KY. Descendants of George Washington, William, and John, lived many years in Clinton Co. Almost all Branham's from Clinton Co. are direct descendants of Barnabus. Richard and Nathaniel both spent time in Overton Co., in present day Pickett Co. Richard's son, John, married Louisiana Flowers. John's descendants remain in Pickett Co. today. Just to be clear, the newsletter will deal with any descendants of Barnabus; not just those whose last name in Branham. It will aslo deal with those descendants of the female lines. The first issue of the newsletter will be ready to mail to subscribers in approximately 2 weeks. This promises to be a fantastic newsletter, which will give much detail about the Branham family. The first issue deals specifically with Richard Branham, the grandfather of almost all Brannum's in Pickett and Overton counties. The primary article provides much detail and information about his life and times; and also provides some little known information about him. Many court records, deeds, and such, have recently provided new information concerning Richard and his family, which was not known until recently. Coming issues will deal directly with some of the siblings of Richard, as well as other descendants of his father, Barnbabus. Anyone interested in the newsletter may contact me at branham-branches@digginbones.com , or rex@digginbones.com for further details on how to subscribe to the newsletter. Rex Bertram

Hi all. Does anyone have a copy of the 1968 Pickett Co. cemetery book by Tim Huddleston? I am hoping someone can check the book for me. I already have Gary Norris's cemetery book, and also have access to Richard Pierce's. It is only the Huddleston info I am interested in. If anyone has a copy, I would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks, Rex Bertram 132 S. Butler St. Redkey, IN 47373 Will research your ancestor at the world's second largest genealogy. You give donation, only if I succeed. www.digginbones.com/NoRiskProResearch.htm
