William Minor Branch, Culleoka, TN
Just returned from visiting Shanes' Cemetery at Campbell's Station, Maury Co., TN and Friendship Baptist Cemetery in Culleoka, TN. William Minor Branch and spouse Mary Ann Uzzell Branch, my great-great grandparents, are buried there. Tombstone inscriptions read:
William Minor Branch, May 6, 1812; July 16, 1902
Mary Ann Uzzell Branch, July 13, 1823; May 30, 1897.
Also, Parthenia Branch, 1849-1881; this is Parthenia Ann Redding Branch, first spouse of John T.Branch, who would be my G-g-g Uncle. Parthenia is also my G-g Aunt through the Reddings.
Joseph H. Branch, b. Oct. 31, 1859; d. Nov. 9, 1881.(according to family sources, Joseph died of "fever.")
No other Branches found at Friendship; none found at Shane's. However, many old grave stones were too weathered to be legible, even using chalk. Also, in Shane's, there were many Hobbs, Kerr, and Bryant markers. I know several of the Branch girls married into these families.
