    Notes 

    • I have not found proof that Ulysses is her son, but they are both living with her parents on the 1880 census, and he is listed as a grandchild. In 1900, she stated that she had given birth to 7 children and 6 were living. There are birth records in Jackson County for all 6 of her Brannon children, and the youngest, Lillie, is not on the 1900 census, so I am guessing she died, although I have found no proof of that fact. That could mean that the seventh child was Ulysses. At least he is now connected to his grandparents.
