Biography

GrGrGrandmother of Thomas Jefferson 3rd US President

The wife of Christopher Branch Jr. is reported to have been Sarah Almond but owing to the total destruction of the earlier Charles City records, nothing very definite is known concerning her, save that he married her before 1658, and she bore her husband three sons and two daughters including Mary Branch. Sarah presumably did not long survive her husband's premature death in 1665.
