It seems his son the IV? Another relative? had a publishing company and wrote various engineering books in Chicago? See here. And here. FloridaArmy (talk) 11:59, 7 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

This source has genealogical coverage but I can only see a preview. FloridaArmy (talk) 12:11, 7 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

Who is James H. Branch died 1867? See suit here. Same person? FloridaArmy (talk) 12:25, 7 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

James H. Branch is perhaps Joseph III's uncle; James is listed as the brother of Joseph II in Mary Jones Polk Branch's genealogy cited in this Wikipedia article (Joseph Gerald Branch II); the source you cited lists James and Joseph separately so I think they must be two different people--FeanorStar7 (talk) 13:18, 2 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

More coverage of the family here. Mary and Joseph G. seem to have had two children James H. Branch and James Bramch (James G. Branch IV?)? Is this the one who published in Chicago? FloridaArmy (talk) 12:31, 7 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

Mary Polk

I removed "He married Mary Polk, also of a prominent family. They lived on the plantations of Branch's in-laws and had many slaves.[1]"

Mary Polk Branch was his mother? Part of the Polk family that included the U.S. president? See [1] FloridaArmy (talk) 00:45, 30 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
