Pridemore/Branham/White
I am searching for my g.grandfather's family.I grew up thinking that his name was Richard Pridemore.However, a few years ago I was informed that he may have been a Branham ... that 'Grandaddy Dick' may have been adopted.Since then I have done considerable research and have found the following:
1870:HARRISON BRANHAM, Vica (my g.grandmother) and 3-month old George are in the Logan Co., WVa Census.(Vica was born around 1851 and the daughter of Benjamin White (1803-1889 Kanawha Co, Va.) and Mary A. Lackey (b.1827.)The Branhams lived three houses away from the Whites.

Lackey (b.1827.)The Branhams lived three houses away from the Whites.1872:Benjamin (my g.uncle) was born in Logan Co., WVa.His parents are listed as RICHARD HARRISON PRAGMORE and VICA WHITE PRAGMORE.'Harrison' and 'White' were in italics, so I presume this record was annotated.

WVa census.Richard stated that he was born in Va., but information regarding his parents was left blank.

1990:Richard's name has evolved to RICHARD PRIDEMORE.If anyone can shed ANY light on this puzzle, I would greatly appreciate it.Thanks!
