Branson Connection to Abe

You have to take a few twists and turns, but we have discovered that President Abraham Lincoln shared a relative with the Branson family.

Margaret's great-great-grandmother was Mary Lincoln.  Mary Lincoln was Abraham Lincoln's third great grand aunt.

Whew!  Those are a lot of twists and turns!
