Winifred Jones Guerrant m. Samuel Branch

Hi Mary Kay...I have recorded on my family tree the following:Samuel Branch, III born ca.1783/died 1847 (son of Samuel Branch,II and Jane Martin) married Winifred Jones Guerrant on 24 Nov. 1807.Winifred's parents were Ltn. John Guerrant, Jr. (1760-1813) and Mary Heath Povall (1762-1813).Samuel Branch,III was an officer in the War of 1812, also a layer and farmer/planter in Charlotte Co. and Buckingham Co., VA.Winifred Jones Guerrant was born 17 Jan 1787 in Goochland Co., VA and died ca 1828 in Buckingham Co., VA.Samuel and Winifred had 10 children: Mary Jane, Sarah Elizabeth, Robert Guerrant, Harriett Evelina, John, Samuel, William Daniel, Anthony Martin, James Heath, and Martha Winifred.My records say Samuel Branch, III married a second time to a "Miss Watkins".Her first name unknown and their marriage date unknown.I think it would be safe to say he married her after the untimely death of Winifred because he lived almost 20 more years after her death.I think this info effectively rules out the possibility that there is any connection between your Samuel Branch from North Carolina and my Samuel Branch from Virginia!
