Brannon-102 and Branham-552 appear to represent the same person because: according to his christening record and all other sources his last name is not Branham. The correct information for him is the one with the spelling of the name Brannon.

Looking at this profile it shows that he had two daughter's named Sarah. The name listing in his biography shows only one Sarah. I know his first-born was Sarah and married Edmond Lewis Bishop. I'm not sure who the correct father is for the Sarah that married Mathew Seay. The source on her profile does not show who her parents are.

She was connected to him as a spouse with an unknown marriage date. I removed that connection an put source information on her page regarding the marriage.

Was Catherine Bailey mentioned in the bio or connected to this William?

A marriage record for a William Brannan and Catherine Bailey has been found. It proves that it could not have been this William Brannon as the marriage occurred in Baltimore, Maryland after he was married to and having children with Scarberry.

This William Brannon or Brandon is my patriot for DAR. The William Brannon with the spouse Judith Seay is the correct son for him. In fact his name is William Madison Brannon. He did not have two sons named William.
