Turns out he was sold into slavery or was abducted into it as John Branham, his father made way from England to Ireland then with his children came to Virginia. Caron (Caren) was tsken from his father's middle name. I have traced him back to the daysof Henry the VIII. Caron has documents of his marriage to Margret Morgrave, citing his surname as Branham, changed to Brannan by Virginia officials. His legacy was dropped by the family and was not included as direct descendants in some accounts because of his slavery sale, which was not uncommon at this time. He was indeed sold to George Davenport by records at the age of 12.
