The spelling of this surname most likely began in England as Branham. As the descendants in the US moved further south, the Branham surname soaked up the "Southern Drawl", and it evolved into Brannum, Branum, and Brannon. The deputized assistant US marshalls who in early days were census enumerators, spelled the name in phonics - like it sounded.
George was a descendant of the branch of the family more commonly known as the Stokley Co., NC Branums, and generally they spelled their surname Brannum.
