Hello, my name is Jeannette Essen, I have been researching my family for about 15 years. My surname is BRANCH, I married a sailor station at NAS JAX in Jacksonville, Fl. 49 1/2 years ago and never looked back. I have two sons and 4 surviving grandchildren, my oldest grandson died 2002. I have a lot of material on the BRANCH line as that is my father's family. My mothers family is JOHNSON and LAND. Not much on my JOHNSON line, but have info on my LAND line. Also my fathers mother was a KILCREASE and I have material on this line. My family is located in Worth, Wilcox, Tift counties GA. and Madison Co. Florida
I will help anyone who needs it. I also have subscriptions to Ancestry.com and World Vital Records. Will do look ups for anyone who wishes.
My brick wall is twofold. 1st ---Elizabeth Jane ROBERTS born Sept 4,1838 in Jones Co. Ga. She married Henry L. YEARBY/YERBY in Jones Co. 1851. Jane (as she was called) died in Worth Co. Ga. I am looking for when she died and where she is buried. 2nd Brickwall---Thomas Johnson born around 1802 in South Carolina and died around 1910 in Madison Co. FL. Any information on these two I would dearly love.
Thank You for stopping and taking the time to read this.
Jeannette


Jeanette, I too am a decendent of a LAND family. My Land roots are from Missouri, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, and Virginia depending on how far back you go.... In Missouri they were from Crawford County especially Leasburg and its surrounding areas. Prior to that they were in Jasper County Illinois and Decatur County Indiana. Do you think that we may have any connections?
