Hi Folks,

I check my Branham line and here is what I found concerning John
BRANHAM.

I show John BRANHAM born abt 1700 in Ireland. Children I have listed
for John are David (born abt 1730 Ireland & died 1825 Floyd Co., KY),
John, JR, Elizabeth and Johnathan. I do not show spouse for John, SR
however it has been reported he married in 1720. I also show John
BRANHAM, SR died abt 1765 in Elizabeth, Pasquopank, Co., N C.

I also have son David, SR married to (1) Francis Basket of Ireland (2)
Susan Bubridge of VA.

Does any of this connect for anyone? Please email me and we can share.

Regards,

Dennis Branham
