Claims of McCall, Smellie & Company and Geo: McCall & Company [Page 19):
Gaydon Branham, Spotsylvania. £5.17.7 and £13.18.9 3/4. He removed from that county during the
war (after 1777) and settled in one of the western counties in this state for a few years. From there he
went to Fayette Co., Ky. James Lewis, Esq. , of Spotsylvania never believed he was entitled to credit for
the amount of these claims. He was an indolent and very poor man possessing only a little personal property such as cattle, etc . , but neither land or slaves.
