Kay,
I think I cracked this mystery. There were 5 grandchildren mentioned in John Brandows will, but their father wasn't named:
John E. Brandow
Keziah Ann Brandow (Meggs)
Lucinda Brandow ( Mansfield ), born about 1831
George Brandow, born ca. 1832
Abi (Abigail) Brandow (Ingalls), born 1839, died 1906, Hunter
I went back to the Greene County Website and came across this:
Officers, Soldiers and Seamen Composing the Quotas of the Troops Furnished to the United States by the Town of Jewett, County of Greene
Brandow, George
Jewett, Greene Co
DOB September 25, 1833 Hunter, NY
Private 120th Inf -
Muster date August 8, 1862
PrivateEnlisted for 3Y from Jewett, NY
Parents
Eli (Brandow), Sarah Haines
Was engaged in the Battle of Gettysburg.
Skiff Family Cemetery
Eli Brandow, d. 31 Mar 1840, aged 29y 1m 2d (or 7d)
After Eli died, Sarah married his brother William b. 1825. Family Search had William as Abigail Brandow's father, but that would have made him 14 when she was born. I had a hunch Sarah had a previous marriage since she was 12 yrs older than William, but couldn't find it till now.
Now to find out who Sarah's parents were!
