I found a reference to a Charles Cornwallis 1788-1859 in connection with Eli Branson 1734-1797. Charles was apparently his son with Elizabeth Jane Rankin in England, although at that time Eli was 'also' 'still' married to Keziah Huff in NJ -?- and had apparently gone to England after fighting as a Patriot (in the Battle of the Regulators in Alamance County in May of '77) and there fathered Anna 1786-1847 and Charles. The best I can find out, Eli and Levi were the sons of Thomas Branson Jr. I'm confused because I've got two bd's for him, 1703 & 1706, and marriages to Rebecca Borden and Elizabeth Norton,-?- 'tho Eli and Levi are consistently listed as his sons.... Thomas Branson Sr. 1670-1744 and his wife Elizabeth Day are listed as having been from England, his father having been William Branson 1645, grandfather Nathaniel Branson 1605. And that's all the further I got.
