Sept. 11, 1839 Cynthia - this is one of my family. Nancy Brammer was the daughter of John Brammer and Sarah Lee. The surety in this marriage, Jonathan Brammer, was her brother. >> Barb, Is Nelson MORAN, father of Mary MORAN who married Edward WOOD, same as Nelson MORAN husband of Nancy BRAMMER? The MORANs confuse the daylights out of me! Ha! Barb, many thanks for all that you do and share with the rest of us!!! Another question...who was Fannie BRAMMER, second wife of Richard "Dickey" WOOD? "History of Floyd County," p. 263. Richard "Dickey" WOOD was born in 1769 and died at the top of Woods Gap in Patrick County, Virginia in 1859, aged 90 years. He married, first, Rachel COCKRAM, daughter of Edward COCKRAM, Sr.; secondly, Fannie BRAMMER, no children; thirdly, Betsey DEHART, four children; fourthly, Lucy VIA, six children." Edward WOOD, husband of Mary MORAN, was a son of Dickey WOOD and his first wife, Rachel COCKRAM/COCHRAN. Rachel and Dickey were the parents of "Alex" (Patrick Alexander) WOOD...he married Bethany BRAMMER...my direct line. Just trying to fill in the gaps. It's so convoluted! Ha!!! Many thanks!
