I don't know but it would make sense that the Millar family would be in the
same area that Lionel Branson was.


Are we positive that the will we have seen for Lionel Branson is the elder
Lionel and not the younger Lionel? Both had wives named Rebecca and
supposedly both men died around the same time.

The Branson book done by Wandlings lists Lionel's line as:

Lionel married Rebecca Rogers
Amos Branson
Lionel married Rebekah Millar
Sarah Branson married Eli Lehew
Ann Elizabeth Lehew married Thomas Buck McKay
Charles McKay married Etta Sowers
Hunter McKay married Miriam Lake
Branson McKay of Belmont, Mass.

I don't have a clue how old the information is...
