Josephus married Nancy Ann Farabee daughter of Israel Lapin Farabee and Charlotte M. Pointer in 1877/1900. Nancy was born on 6 Dec 1863 in Cooper Hill, Mo.

A birth was found for Nannie Farabee (age 21) and Joseph Branson (age 24) in Osage Co., MO on the Missouri Archives web site:
Aubert Branson, b. Dec. 2, 1884, Crawford Twp., MO
This does not match my records, showing a Herbert Branson being born Nov. 28, 1884. If there were twins, would they have been born 5 days apart?
