Daughter of Samuel Elias Harmon and Mary Robinette.
Wife of Leroy Brannon
Emma & Leroy were married by Isaac Tipton in Carter Co., TN on Feb. 21, 1846
The small grave beside Emma looks to be "Mahly" Hodges. Emma's daughter Mahalia married Zachariah Hodges.
Emma and Leroy's son, William, died during the Civil War as a teenager at Andersonville Prison Camp. His burial is located there.
She is listed as Emela on her marriage record and as Emily in at least two records. After her husband's death, the surname is found with multiple variations and wasn't standardized to "Branon" until her son Lee's family decided to use that spelling. Interestingly, Lee himself was unable to write and had to sign his 'X' on the administrator's bond upon his mother's death.
