Hi Johnny; Sorry, but I cant be much help to you on this Paul Baisden, since his parents,grandparents arent mentioned. No mention of him in the 'Baisden bible" (Descendents of David Branham ) No doubt he is a descendent of Joseph & Lucinda Osborne Baisden,since so many settled in the Dingess area of Mingo Co WV. Cousin Shelby

Whoa, Shelby you mentioned David Branham in your last post. Where did he hail from? I ask because the mystery of my second grandmother, Lucinda Clay Sturgell has finally been solved. The family story goes that Lucinda was a Cherokee orphaned in Pike County, KY and raised be a family named Clay. As we were researching her background, we could always found her with her mother and some other siblings always living next door to Andrew Jackson Akers. This AJ Akers signed for Lucinda to marry Blackburn Sturgell so everyone assumed that he was her father. But he was not. Jane Clay was orginially Jane Akers. She married James Clay who died when the children were small She and Andrew were brother and sister. Andrew Akers married "Polly" Branham in either Pike or Floyd County and therefore it was a Branham researcher who set me straight on the relationship between Andrew and Jane.

Hi Shelby and Johnny, I have been off line for quite a while as I was and have moved. Same City just closer to my daughter and yes, I question my sanity daily as I try to make a new home as I dig through boxes an unending job. But, I did not read Johnny's question, just your reply Shelby re, Paul Baisden. I have made some new Baisden contacts and if I could have the question I will do my best to reach out to these folks with it to see if I can dig anything up for you.
