The original of the letter is on file at the Church Historian's office. The rest of it, with the exception of the short autobiography, appears to come from a hodge podge of several sources that I've come across while researching this family. The only part that is new to me is the short autobiography. If I had to guess, I would say it probably came from something related to the seventies of that time period. Anyhow, thank you for letting me know. My wife and I are headed that direction for other things in a couple of weeks, so I'll stop in at the DUP museum while there. For anyone else who comes across your article, I'll post the sources in a comment when I find them. Thank you again for posting this information.<br /><br />JoeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8072261754072147858.post-14264567992994364052012-08-08T10:14:43.299-07:002012-08-08T10:14:43.299-07:00I got the articles from the DUP museum in Salt Lak...I got the articles from the DUP museum in Salt Lake from their history department. It is next to the capitol building. There was more than one article so I tried to combine them the best I could. The DUP should be able to tell you who submitted the original articles.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06603559096786112243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8072261754072147858.post-5944852902443832002012-08-07T21:01:23.443-07:002012-08-07T21:01:23.443-07:00Hi Erin,

I'm very interested to know where the short autobiography came from. You mentioned that you got the information for this article from one that you obtained from the Daughter's of the Utah Pioneers museum. Which museum was that? The only one I've ever been to is in Provo...is that the one or did it come from another? I would really like to know the source for the autobiography to confirm its authenticity. If it is authentic, then it contains some genealogical information that can't really be substantiated anywhere else. Any chance you still have the article? Would you be willing to scan it and send it to me? At very least, could I know which museum you obtained it from? Replying on here works fine, but if you are willing to send me the article, then my email is mitc2668@gmail.com. Thank you again for posting this information.<br /><br />JoeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8072261754072147858.post-89109891685304909542012-03-31T11:30:23.063-07:002012-03-31T11:30:23.063-07:00Bruce that would be fine.Bruce that would be fine.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06603559096786112243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8072261754072147858.post-11718779879998210602012-03-30T16:01:25.728-07:002012-03-30T16:01:25.728-07:00I am collecting stories about missionaries and cov...I am collecting stories about missionaries and coverts in Tennessee as part a bigger project on Tennessee Mormon history. G. W. Brandon fits on both accounts.

I do have one question for you...What is the source of information for how George died? Also, where did you find that he died working timber at Cow Creek? Any info would be greatly appreciated. I'm related through their daughter Martha Frances Brandon Hiatt Rees and have quite a bit of information on that branch if you are interested.
