Jerree, Yes, Emily Frances Carney's parents were Elijah DeMoss Carney & Marcella Brandon. I was told that Marcella's father was Christopher Brandon and I also found Americus born a month after Marcella and said that Christopher couldn't be her father. I was told that the concensus is that Christopher was her father and that she was illegitimate. He must have given her his name. I am still checking it out and hoping that I or someone will find something to verify this. Blair Joyce
