Deborah, thank you for your response........My BRANSON LOYD/LLOYD is a real mystery.......He was born about 1820 but doesn't appear anywhere until 1845 when he married Deborah Wiltsey in Camden, New Jersey....then he disappears again until the census of 1860-- listed as BANSON LOYD & again in 1880 in Gloucester Co., N.J. with his family....then disappears again......I found one other Branson Loyd in 1900 census in Arkansas, but don't know if this was him as he would have been about 80 yrs old then.....He died & is buried in Clayton, N.J........On the 1880 census he claims that he was born in N.J. and that both his parents were born in N.J........but I strongly doubt it.......He named one of his sons Wilson....probably just a coincidence, but who knows......Juanita
