I have created a website devoted to the family of John Sevier Branson (1826-1905) of Tennessee, Missouri, and, after 1849, the gold country of California. John and his wife Martha Jane Ousley raised ten children in Mariposa County, CA. The site contains biographies and pictures of the couple, the ten children, and all 45 grandchildren and 64 great-grandchildren. John and Martha are my great-great grandparents.

John Sevier Branson was the twelfth of the twelve children of Thomas Branson. Thomas was born in the Blue Ridge Mtn. region of Virginia, who lived the first part of his adult life in eastern Tennessee (where his children were born), then ended up in Gasconade County. Thomas Branson's father was Jarred E. Branson of Virginia, Tennessee, and Missouri. Thomas was married to Susannah (Susan, Susanna, Alma) McGowan.

The front page of the website is "http://home.comcast.net/~davesmeds/bransonfrontpg.htm".
