Debra,
In the 1870 census for Florence, Lauderdale Co AL is Mary Branch, head of household age 40 born in AL and a male 17 Fountain born in AL and a female W.H.age 80. My gues is that should have been MH as in the Inventory Book E for Lauderdale Co on pp517, 518 Martha H died intestate and it lists all her heirs one of whom is a daughter Mary A Branch.
Your Mary is most likely a twin and a daughter of Peter Fontaine Armistead 1778 - 1866 and Martha Henry Winston 1782-1870, they lived at MelRose near Florence and the home is still there, now owned by the Wrights. Her twin brother was George Washington Armistead, Other siblings were Peter Fontaine, William Bowles, Issac Coles, Patrick Henry, Elizabeth Virgiia, Martha Henry, Elizabeth Coles, Sarahm, Nancy, Lewis, Ellen O.The only child that Mary Ann had was Fontaine Branch.
Peter Fontaine Armistead, Mary Ann's Dad was the son of Bowles Armistead and Martha Fontaine Winston (which gives you a clue where these names came from). Bowles Armistead (who died in 1785 in Culpeper Co VA) was the son of William Armistead and Mary Bowles, William was the son of Henry Armistead and Martha Burwell, Henry's parents were John Armistead and Judith, John's parents were the emigrant William Armistead and wife Anne. The info in this last paragraph is from Garber and of course needs to be verified.Hope this helps. Joan
