Virgil Edgar Branson

My Grandfather the railroad man. His mother was Matilda (Santina) RYALS

1910 census records from Liberty county Georgia, which list my grandfather and his family.

Henry Branson (My Great-Great Grandfather) was last listed in the 1860 census in Georgia. He was first married to a woman named Caroline. Henry, Caroline, a son Joseph and an unnamed infant daughter were listed in the 1850 McIntosh County census. By the 1860 census Henry was married to Lurmaine "Lou" Driggers. Lou and Henry had 5 or 6 sons and 3 daughters. The number of sons is not certain, due to not knowing if the son Charlton listed was actually Henry's child or if Henry simply gave Charlton the BRANSON name. The other sons were: Luke b.1851, Allen b. 1852, Apson (this is James A.--the A. was Absolum) b. 1854, Henry Columbus b. 1858 and John b. 1867. The three daughters were: Maria b. 1857, Rachael b. 1859, and Susan Ann b. 1866.

I have not found much information on any of the siblings except Henry Columbus, James A. and a little on Allen and John. From census records it appears Luke and Joseph may have died before reaching adulthood.

Henry Columbus Branson was my Great-Grandfather. (3-10-1858 to 1-9-1921) He was married to Matilda Ryals. They had two children, Daniel Columbus Branson and Virgil Edgar Branson(My Grandfather)

Henry Columbus Branson also had children named: Edward, Roseboro, Lum, Randall and Marcella, by his second wife, Frances Middleton Branson.

They lived in Long County Georgia, near Townsend. If anyone has any additional information or pictures; please contact me. I am very proud of my Branson line, too.

Update on my Great-Great Grandfather:
His name was Henry Columbus Branson Sr.
My Great-Great Grandmother was Luvina Dreggors Branson.
Their son, my Great Grandfather was Henry Columbus Branson Jr,
who lived from 3-27-1861 to 1-09-1921.

Henry Columbus Branson Jr (With loving memory and respect)
