I am looking for Josiah W. Brann. Josiah had several children: Matthew M
(b. 1/17/1838); Henry J. (b. 1/5/1840); Alfred B. (b. 12/4/1841); James A. (b.
11/27/1843); Eliza J. (b. 10/13/1845); Milton (b. 10/10/1847); John Simon (b.
2/19/1850 -my g. grandfather); Elizabeth (b. 11/17/1856) and Catherine (b.
10/30/1858). Josiah married Margaret Ann Hickman on 9/1/1836 in Preble
County, OH and probably moved shortly thereafter to Putnam County, IN. They
also lived in Clay Co. IN. The Branns moved to Sumner County, KS in the late
1800�s. Josiah died on 7/10/1874 in Sumner County, Kansas. Most of the
geneology information was given to me by other Brann family members and I have
confirmed most of it from census records. However, I have never been able to
determine Josiah�s ancestors or where the family came from. I believe that
Josiah had a brother, Jeremiah, who also got married in Preble County, OH in
1837. However, I cannot locate any other Branns in Preble County. It is
possible they came from Butler County, OH. However, that is not for certain.
If there is anyone out there that has any Branns in their family tree, please
let me know. Maybe we are related.
