Hoax. In February, an IP address made an in-article notation that the content of this article is a direct lift from the article of Madeline Cheek Hunter, with the name "Johns Bransford" substituted throughout. A check of the references and online searches confirm that the "John Bransford" version is the hoax. (Curiously, searching on Hunter's name in Google Books shows that her article itself may borrow its content from "Encyclopedia of World Biography" too closely for comfort, but with no preview available it's hard to establish without the physical book).
