The "family tree" format of this file represents Grace Bicknell's work from the early 1900s. It has many "Branhams" because several Vawters married Branhams.
Plus some family information gathered later on the family of David, son of John, who came to Texas to run the ferry across the Sabine.
Bartholomew's father could have been John, but there is no documentation to support this belief at this time. He could have been born in "the Colonies" instead of England. There is no record of his birth or immigration.
Bartholomew and Winifred had at least 6 children, John, William, David, Margaret, Benjamin and Edward. There was also a Richard and an Augustine that are the right age and were indentured to Bernard Noel.
