Notes

William Wrighter Brannon, a son of William H. and Catherine Brannan, was born in MD in 1765 and died in Gilmer County VA (WV) in 1850. He married Mary Parmelia Paine. Mary was born in Fairfax County VA in 1770 and died in Calhoun County VA in 1860.
According to Deweese, "... he lived at Georgetown on the Potomac River in the District of Columbia and emigrated to the then far West in about 1804, came to where Arnoldsburg now is, stopped with Peter McCune Sr., he being a tailor by trade and an inexperienced woodsman, consequently could not wield an ax with any degree of certainty, Peter McCune Sr.,... Samaritan like, gave up his log cabin and little improvements to William Brannon Sr."
The couple lived out their lives in what is now Calhoun County WV. They are listed in the household of their son in law, Abraham Amos Miller in the 1850 Gilmer County VA census. The household was surveyed August 10, 1850. William is listed as 85 years of age and Mary is listed as 80 years old.
