Robinson, helped found the city of Lawrence, Kansas in 1854. BiographyCharles Branscomb was born on June 16, 1822 in Newmarket, New Hampshire.[1][2] He attended Phillips Exeter Academy for his secondary education, graduating in 1839.[5][3] Afterwards, he graduated from Dartmouth College (1845) and the Cambridge Law School (1848).[4] After passing the bar, he served for a time as a lawyer in Holyoke, Massachusetts.[4][5] In the 1850s, he became a member of the New England Emigrant Aid Society, at one point serving as its secretary pro tempore.[6] In 1854, he and Charles L. Robinson surveyed Kansas Territory, looking for suitable land upon which the Emigrant Aid Society could found a town dedicated to the free state cause.[5] Later that year, he led the first group of colonists supported by the Emigrant Aid Society to the territory and helped establish the city of Lawrence.[7][8] Until 1858, Branscomb worked for New England Emigrant Aid Society, after which he founded a private law firm in Lawrence. Branscomb later served in the territorial legislature and voted on the Leavenworth Constitution.[4] In the 1860s, he moved to St. Louis, where in 1866 he ran for a seat on the Missouri General Assembly against Francis Preston Blair Jr.[9] The election was contested, but in the end, Branscomb won out after the Missouri Attorney General Robert Franklin Wingate ruled that votes cast after sundown were valid.[10] When Ulysses S. Grant ascended to the US presidency, Branscomb was appointed consul to England and served in Manchester.[2] In 1874, Branscomb returned to Lawrence, and in 1886 he ran for Kansas governor as the Prohibition Party nominee, coming in third (with 2.96% of the vote).[2][11] In 1890, Branscomb and his family moved to Denver, Colorado, where he died on January 3, 1891 of pneumonia.[3][12][13] He was buried at Holyoke.[12] Election history{{Election box begin no change| title = Governor's election in Kansas, 1886[11] }}{{Election box winning candidate with party link no change | candidate = John Martin | party = Republican Party (United States) | votes = 149,715 | percentage = 54.74 }}{{Election box candidate with party link no change | candidate = Thomas Moonlight | party = Democratic Party (United States) | votes = 115,667 | percentage = 42.29 }}{{Election box candidate with party link no change | candidate = Charles Branscomb | party = Prohibition Party | votes = 8,094 | percentage = 2.96 }}{{Election box total no change | votes = 273,476 | percentage = 99.99 }}{{Election box hold with party link no change | winner = Republican Party (United States) | loser = Democratic Party (United States) }}{{Election box end}} References1. ^{{cite journal|url=https://ia902707.us.archive.org/17/items/newhampshiregene06newh/newhampshiregene06newh.pdf|accessdate=August 7, 2018|journal=The New Hampshire Genealogical Record|date=1909|volume=6|issue=1|title=Newmarket Town Records|page=158}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Branscomb, Charles}}2. ^{{cite book|author=Chapman, George|title=Sketches of the Alumni of Dartmouth College|location=Cambridge, Massachusetts|publisher=Riverside Press|date=1867|page=354}} 3. ^1 {{cite book |title=General Catalogue of the Phillips Exeter Academy: 1783-1903 |date=1903 |publisher=News-Letter Press |location=Exeter, New Hampshire |page=47 |url=https://archive.org/details/cataloguegeneral00philrich |accessdate=August 7, 2018}} 4. ^1 2 3 {{cite encyclopedia|title=Branscomb, Charles H.|encyclopedia=Kansas: A Cyclopedia of State History, Embracing Events, Institutions, Industries, Counties, Cities, Towns, Prominent Persons, etc.|editor=Blackmar, Frank|location=Chicago, IL|publisher=Standard Publishing Company|date=1912|page=230|url=http://ksgenweb.org/archives/1912/b/branscomb_charles_h.html|accessdate=August 7, 2018}} 5. ^1 {{cite book|author=Cordley, Richard|title=A History of Lawrence, Kansas: From the Earliest Settlement to the Close of the Rebellion|location=Lawrence, KS|publisher=Lawrence Journal Press|year=1895|page=3-4}} 6. ^{{cite web|author=Kansas Historical Society|title=Charles Robinson to Eli Thayer|website=Kansas Memory|url=http://www.kansasmemory.org/item/6913|accessdate=August 7, 2018}} 7. ^{{cite book|author=Cordley, Richard|title=A History of Lawrence, Kansas: From the Earliest Settlement to the Close of the Rebellion|location=Lawrence, KS|publisher=Lawrence Journal Press|year=1895|page=4-5}} 8. ^{{cite book|title=A Standard History of Kansas and Kansans|author=Connelley, William|date=1918|publisher=Lewis Publishing Company|location=Chicago, IL|page=360}} 9. ^{{cite news |title=A Good Candidate |url=http://kansashistoricalopencontent.newspapers.com/image/60856145 |accessdate=August 7, 2018 |work=Daily Kansas Tribune |date=October 23, 1866}} 10. ^{{cite news|title=St. Louis: Frank Blair Defeated{{emdash}}Radical Delegetes [sic] Receive their Certificates|work=Evansville Journal|date=November 20, 1866|url=https://newspapers.library.in.gov/cgi-bin/indiana?a=d&d=EJ18661120.1.1|accessdate=August 7, 2018}} 11. ^1 2 {{cite web |title=KS Governor [1886] |url=https://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=265545 |website=Our Campaigns |accessdate=August 7, 2018}} Note: the website misspells Branscomb's last name as "Brancombe". 12. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite news |title=Charles H.
