James Branch was born in North Carolina ca. 1760-1770. He married Rachel (?) who was born in 1766 and died in 1850. They moved to Laurens County, George around 1838.

James and Rachel were the parents of four children (possibly more): David, Elias, Rachel and William. Descendants lived mostly in Georgia, with others moving to Florida and elsewhere.
