James K. Polk Branham
and Amanda McWhorter
The majority of our information
on James K.P. Branham comes from "Early Times" at this
point, but we are actively researching Clinton County
records and will update this page with new information as
it becomes available.
In the 1860 census, James K.P. Branham was enumerated along
with his parents, Barnabas and Lavina Branham, in Clinton
County. We have not yet found the family in 1870. In the
1873 ex parte division of his grandfather's estate, James
received two parcels of land in Clinton County--one, a
6-acre tract on the road from Caney Gap to Albany, and the
second, a 29-acre mountain tract.

In 1900, a James Branham (b. KY) is enumerated in Gibson
