Change of Identity or Stage Persona? What the Records Show About William Branham
Contemporary newspapers, court records, census data, and federal draft registration demonstrate that William Branham’s identity remained stable and publicly traceable through the Prohibition era and into adulthood, despite significant criminal activity and instability within his family. Later name variations—most notably the use of “Henry Branham” and the shift from Marvin to Marrion—align with the construction of a revival-stage persona rather than an attempt to evade law enforcement or conceal his past.
Women Are Behind Every Crime
Later versions of William Branham's stage persona claimed that not only were women the cause for all sin on the earth, they were currently the reason for criminal activity. Branham supported this theory by agreeing with unknown statistics that claimed that ninety-eight percent of all crime — in any form — was either committed directly by a female or that a female was the mastermind behind it. The exact source of these statistics, however, was never mentioned.
Tucson
Tucson, Arizona, is one of two main cities from which William Branham's cult of personality was controlled, the other being William Branham's hometown of Jeffersonville, Indiana. In 1963, William Branham removed his children from the public school system and relocated to Tucson.[1]
