This profile is following Henry Brannen the youngest son of Arch and Mary. He was born September 23 1924 likely at what is now Clam Point CSI. The use of William as part of his name is as a result of confusing him with his older brother William. He died January 5 1905 in Rockville NS. He had eleven children 10of them with his wife Mary Huskins. To help sort out the brothers I recommend that you refer to the book THE BRANNENS OF BARRINGTON TOWNSHIP available in Shelburne County libraries and museums.

This is a mess! William the second son of Arch and Mary was born June 25 1807 in Barrington Twp. His details have been scrambled with his younger brother Henry 1824-1905.

I recommend that for information on this family that you refer to the book THE BRANNENS OF BARRINGTON TOWNSHIP available in Shelburne County libraries and museums.
