The names and birthdates of these four children were on a loose piece of paper in Ida Lucinda Elmore Brandon's bible, now in the possession of Dicie Brandon Gatlin, and were provided to me by Kathryn Brandon Hoskins. Dicie Brandon Gatlin said they were the names of the children from George Washington Brandon's first family.

George Washington Brandon was a member of a Masonic Order, and Dicie Bell Brandon has photographs of him in his full regalia.

I am trying to locate Divorce papers for George Washington Brandon and his first wife, Margaret Elizabeth Price. She apparently never remarried, her tombstone reads "Margaret Elizabeth Brandon."

George Washington Brandon, his second wife Ida Lucinda Elmore, and Ida's mother Julia Byers Elmore moved from Pickens County, Alabama to Greene County, Arkansas sometime between 1894-1897 (according to the birthplaces of Ida's children.) George's father died in 1894, perhaps that is when they left.
