Eliza Crane Brannan[edit]

Brannan’s wife was not murdered in Staten Island; she left Brannan and fled the country for Europe without notice in 1858, leading to the conclusion she had committed suicide or been killed. She later remarried (while still legally married to Brannan) Captain Powell T. Wyman of the US Army, ca. 1860, who was killed at Glendale in 1862. Brannan was made aware of this affair and successfully sued for divorce.

I will note and source this when I have time. Radar488 (talk) 04:54, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the events of July/August 1877[edit]

Good afternoon, {{@MILHIST}} I opened this thread because there seems to be disagreement on this page and I'm not interested in an edit war. I have added contemporary sources related to Brannan's service history during the 1877 railroad strike, all of which indicate he was stationed briefly in Philadelphia, PA. Another editor of this page states that Brannan was not in Philadelphia, but in Scranton, PA. I do not know if Brannan was ever stationed in Scranton, PA, during this time, though I have not seen anything to indicate that he was. All my documentation, however, supports the conclusion that he was in Philadelphia. Thanks. Radar488 (talk) 22:53, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
