Nelson MORAN, b. ca. 1779 in VA; d. ca. 1861 in Patrick Co., VA. Married Nancy Fanny BRAMMER on 11 Sept 1839 in Patrick Co., VA. Nancy was a daughter of John BRAMMER and Sarah LEE. 2. Nelson MORAN, b. ca. 1770 in VA; according to Truman, he married Mary OWEN. They were the parents of Mary MORAN. Am I looking at two different Nelson MORANs, or are they one and the same? Thanks!
