Western Carolinian, Salisbury, Rowan County, N.C. – Tuesday, April 20, 1830

Death of ABRAM BRANDON. – Since we mentioned the death of this old man, we 
have seen MR. WILLSON, the Coroner who held the inquest over the body; from 
whom we learn that our statement of the circumstances attending the melancholy 
casualty, was substantially correct.  As we then stated, the old man and his 
horse (the latter being blind) fell into a deep gully by the side of the road, 
after night, about three miles beyond Mocksville; by which, the neck of the 
former was unfortunately broken; the horse escaped apparently uninjured.  It 
was late in the forenoon of the next day before the corpse was discovered; 
when the Coroner had it taken to Mocksville, and, at the residence of THOMAS 
McNEELEY, Esq., who, in the spirit of true Christian philanthropy, had 
tendered the use of not only his house, but of his servants, and other things 
needful on such an occasion, -- was very decently laid out, and buried in the 
neighborhood. 



Additional Comments:
Abram Brandon appears to be the son of George Brandon, Sr. and Mary 
Ann "Marian" Armstrong.  Abram was born about 1742 in Pennsylvania and died in 
1830 near Mocksville, Davie County, North Carolina.
