Thomas Branand or Brannon was born in Westmoreland County, PA to parents William Brannan, an Englishman, and Susannah Hines. The family moved to Worth Twp., Butler County when he was 18 years old. There he married Marry Burrows, who apparently died soon thereafter. He second married Mary Ann Reed whose family was from Lawrence County, and their first child was probably born by the early 1820's. By 1845 they had 10 children, and the family purchased a farm in Franklin Township. They were members of the United Presbyterian Church at Prospect. Mr. Branand was a Democrat, and apparently served in a variety of local political offices. In about 1865-70, when the Branands would have been about 70 years old, they provided a home for 12 year old Oliver W. Stoughton, whose father Matthew Stoughton had died when the boy was but a few years old. Oliver had lived with a grandfather and other relatives since, but seemed to find a tru affection for Mr. Branand, focused on his schoolwork, learned the plastering trade, and felt a bond of gratitutde to Mr. Branand thereafter. Thomas Brannand died at about the age of 75 years, and is buried at Wolf Creek Cemetery as were his parents.
