Hello .... Again!
I am researching my fathers line also! ha!
I am looking for my Brannen (Branham/Brouham) ancestors.
My fathers mother 4th great grandmother was: Mary Brannen b. 1797 GA d. 1877 GA
Her father was William Brannen b. 1750 Ballykeel, Ire d. 1840 GA m. Eliz. Gross b. 1754 NC d. 1851 GA
Her grand Father was Thomas Alexander Brannon b. 1723 Ire d. 1804 unsure if Ire or US married: Abigail Wilson b 1738 Ballykeel d 1807 Ballykeel
Does anyone know of this family? We cannot find parents of Thomas or Abigail Wilson. Would love to reach further back and learn more about them!
Thanks so much!

There are many townlands (24) called Ballykeel in Ireland. Most of them are in Co. Down and Co. Antrim. I assume they were Roman Catholic so no church records will be available.
