Gerard is the eldest son of Gov. Gerard Chittocque Brandon and Margaret Chambers. He married Charlotte Smith Hoggatt on Oct 29, 1840 and went on to raise a large family at Brandon Hall.
A number of these children did not live to adulthood, and are now buried at Brandon Hall Cemetery in Natchez, Mississippi - they are the focus of this website.
