    CORRECTIONS:
    - Jacob Branham (father of Nathan King?) was likely also an enslaved person. Meaning that it was likely Jacob's father (perhaps Isham Branham) who was an Irish slave owner, not Jacob.
    - I also forgot to mention another important event in this family's history: Six years after Dr. King's assassination, a gunman entered Ebenezer Baptist Church and killed Dr. King's mother, Alberta King ☹️

      A genealogy tree history of the Mozingo family in America might be interesting to make for the next BHM event, next year.
      It's a now predominantly white North American (mostly American) family with a few black branches, in contemporary times. But in prior centuries, they were classified as Melungeon, free coloured or black families (with an increasing number of white passing branches following 1800s) who could all trace their ancestry back to 17th century Angolan descended Virginian colonist Edward Mozingo Sr (1644-171-) , the son of Duerde Mozingo (1608 to 1610- around 1668) and a black female sl*ve (very likely native from either Central Africa too or the "Gold Coast") . It is highly inferred that Duerde Mozingo might have been the son of Queen Nzinga "Ana de Sousa" Mbande Mozingo of the Ambundu Kingdoms of Ndongo and Matamba (c. 1583 - 17 December 1663, ruled 1624-1163 on Ndongo, then on Matamba from 1631-1663) and one of her prior husbands, a relative of hers from the mixed Ambundu-Kongo offshoot of the royal Mozingo lineage of the Kingdom of Kongô too-- and thus a descendant of Kongo, Ambundu, Shongue/Kuba, Bangui, and Shenzi/"Swahili" (via Queen Nzinga's mother' side) and Imbangala/Ngala/Anzicana royalties-- as well as cousins to the still-living Kongo, Matamba, Ndongo, Ngola, Bangala and Teke, Zambian Ngoni, Xhosa and Zulu royalties of Central and Southern Africa.

    I am a white man who was a teenager when MLK was assassinated, and I still remember it like it was yesterday. My heart was broken because I did not see him as a hope for black people, but for all of us, and I still weep when I remember the breaking news. We were in a class, and our teacher said, "It was time someone did something to that MF" We were robbed an honorable man and am still very angry and ashamed that we murdered that man

I had one teacher call Reagan, 'Ronnie Rayguns', but, look who was President when the Berlin Wall came crumbling down.

    Oh the family tree. Fun fact. The concept of family trees was introduced by the church in Europe around 10th century or so to track bloodlines of nobles. There should be some surviving depictions in the churches built at the time. The concept of the bloodline and hereditary diseases also came about around the same time. It was during the so called "dark ages". Later on these concepts became commonplace and were incorporated by Lineus into his systematics that are the foundation of modern taxonomy we use today.

      The chart doesn't show all the children of James Albert King and Delia Linsey, so it's possible there are some additional (still living or recently deceased) 1st and 2nd cousins of King Jr. that either don't want their names to be included on the chart (for privacy/security reasons) or simply aren't aware of the connection.

    Couldn't help but notice a potential problem in your theory about Jacob Brannam being the former slave owner of the Brannam/King family. On the 1870 census Jacob is listed as Black himself, and therefore likely not an owner of slaves, and certainly not an Irishman. Furthermore, the census lists Jacob as a Farm Hand who owns no property. That doesn't sound like a former slave owner to me. The Brannam family connection might indeed be correct but through another individual than Jacob I would think. There is the White Brannam/Branham family of Kenon/Kinion Brannam in the same location at the same time, and previously that of his father Joseph, either of whom would seem more likely former slave owner candidates to me.

Maybe, you can find a Brannan descendant from the white male line and see if the 2 lines have a common male ancestor. The Jefferson/Hemmings family did this and BINGO!

    It's most likely that the Branham were either from northern Ireland via England . Have to consider that the US especially the south was mostly protestants and didn't take to kindly to Catholics. So I would say the MLK is probably of ulster Scots descent and not Irish.

    • @highpath4776
      @highpath4776 Год назад

      Branham to my thinking is more of a southern name but the number of irish "peasants" rising to enough funds to get land etc in the American Colonies is low, but there are a number of landowners in what is now southern ireland that would have had a spare son to send to america to look after interests they had purchased there. A number of ancesters in my family were seafarers in the 1760s onwards, and also had relatives raised from irish stock that were infantry in the British Army going back to the 1740s while the military ones eiether returned to ireland/scotland or died in the West Indies vs The French, at least some from the regiments might have negotiated to stay in the US particulary if their signed up time in the Army had expired. The seafarers meanwhile moved their base from Belfast/Dublin/Cork/Bristol to Philadelphia and Pennsylvania later to lose two ships to British Capture as they were classed as being American in one of the short wars between the UK and the US. Their ships would have needed crewing ( generally they ran the timber trades but plenty of notices of arrivals in the ports showing their ships names and cargoes due placed by agents in the local press in the US and Ireland) such crew members may again have stayed in the US anytime from 1780 to 1840. there should be enough on ancestry and newspapers dot com to look into the Branham Family at least another 20 years back along with rootweb and ireland reaching out (ireland XO) for further information.

      Cromwell also imported Protestants to civilize the Irish. My Grandmother's father's people the Jeffers were brought to Ireland for that purpose. Then, one must have moved to Rhode Island because that's where my Canadian immigrant ancestor was born. He was later given a share of land in the Chignecto region of the borderland between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia in return for replacing the expelled Roman Catholic Francophone Acadians in that ares. He arrived in 1855. The Jeffers were originally from Wales so not Scots/Irish. They may have been settled in Bandon in County Cork. In any case, the ancestor who came to northern New Brunswick settled finally in New Bandon, New Brunswick which was first settled by Irish Protestands after the Napoleonic Wars.

    The chart mentions James Albert King and Delia Linsey had 10 children, but only three of them have their lines traced out. Is there security/privacy reasons for not showing the other children and their descendants, or is it simply that there isn't public knowledge about those lines of the King family?

      So? Having kids isn’t the be-all and end-all of things. Martin Luther King Jr’s legacy isn’t a bunch of progeny. Also, you don’t know anyone’s reasons for not having kids. Perhaps they wanted them but couldn’t have any. Perhaps they chose to marry for love and companionship, even if that meant giving up on having kids because they fell in love with someone with fertility problems. Maybe they didn’t meet their spouse until middle age. Or maybe they just really want to make society better for other people’s kids instead of focusing on their own.

    Dear UsefulCharts,
    Hello and good evening, you might be weirded out because I am a random subscriber. I am a student of Theology and I want to ask you a question and here is said question:
    You as a Jew what is your perspective, opinion, or understanding of Jesus Christ and Christianity as a whole?
    I mean no harm and my intentions is not to offend you, but to simply have an answer from a Jew since Jews here in my country are a VERY small minority. Thank you for your time Mr. UsefulCharts

      That is too complicated a question to answer via RUclips comments. However, the book "How Jesus Became God" by Bart Ehrman nicely explains how I see Jesus. If you're interested in learning about how many Jews and other non-Christians understand Jesus, I highly recommend reading that book.

    First three minutes: US Census records are awful for consistency and accuracy. Look for other records, such as World War draft registration cards, or other military records. Then look for birth certificates or family bibles. (I realize some of these don’t exist for formerly enslaved folks, but the point remains: Census records are good for tracing some family groups, but that’s about it.)

      Um, sure you can. At some point, that’s all anyone can do. Using historical evidence, it is clear that MLK’s great-grandfather changed his name from Branham to King; using DNA evidence and historical evidence, it is clear that his paternal ancestors came from Ireland or thereabouts. Therefore, it is historically sound to conclude that Nathan King’s father or grandfather was one of the Branhams.

      That was fairly common. My mother said that the men wanted to be established before they married. My grandfather, her father was 10 years older than her mother. My father's father was born in 1864 and his mother was born in 1892 so there's a 28 year difference there. The Hemmings/ Jefferson relationship was also a relationship where the fenale was much younger than the male. It was common back then.

      @@RonJohn63 No, 32 and 16 wasn’t frowned upon. It was more in the “raised eyebrows” category. It would be more like 32 and 22 today. It was common enough. Teens were considered young adults, not children. Nowadays, we’ve gone too far the other way and have conflated being a minor with being a child. Women didn’t have many opportunities then, so getting married and being able to have one’s own household was preferable to having to hire oneself out as a domestic servant, which came with a lot more potential for abuse than marriage.

Do you know the story of Sally Hemmings and her white slave owner / lover, Thomas Jefferson? Cassius Clay's great-grandfather was also Irish, but he married the black woman who gave birth to his children. He was never a slave owner. Cassius Clay was surprised to fine out that his great-grandfather and his great-grandmother were married and he never owned her. This Grady or O'Grady was a recent immigrant from Ireland. It's an interesting story.
