There are multiple records of Susannah's birth and marriage with different dates that appear to refer to the same person. Or the discrepancy may be in the transcription of early records by different sources. The year of Susannah's birth varies from 1652 to 1655. Discussions and genealogies indicate that her family, as that of Mareen Duvall, were Huguenot. Note that in the following cases, her name differs from her father's name (which is different in each transcription). We see here the process by which non-English names were modified into more English-sounding names. The phonetic variation in people's speech in an era of low literacy and no concern for standard forms of spelling led to a variety of spellings for the same English family name in the colonial period. Note that the English surname also varies, as many family names do, between singular Brashear and plural Brashears. Her first name is spelled Susannah or Susanna. Family Data Collection - Individual Records Susannah Brashear Parents Benois Benjamin Brasseuir [standard French spelling Brasseur], Mary Richford Birth 1655 Nansemond, VA Spouse Mareen Duvall Marriage 1674 Middleplantation, Ann Arundel, MD [other sources say marriage was in 1673] "Nansemond is an extinct locality that was located in Virginia Colony and the Commonwealth of Virginia (after statehood) in the United States, from 1646 until 1974. It was Nansemond County until 1972, and the independent city of Nansemond from 1972 to 1974. It is now the independent city of Suffolk." -- "Nansemond County, Virginia," Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nansemond_County,_Virginia The second record reports birth was in Nansemond County, Maryland, in contrast to Virginia. I can find no information or record for a Nansemond County, Maryland. Family Data Collection - Individual Records Susanna Marie Brashears Father Benois Brasseur Birth 1652 Nasemond Co, MD [should be Nansemond Co VA] Spouse Mareen Duvall Marriage 1673 Anne Arundel Co, MD Death Anne Arundel Co, MD 1694 One record for Susannah and one for her husband Mars Mareen Duvall have the marriage year of 1673, while another individual record for Susannah says the year was 1674. Susannah was Mareen's second wife. His first wife is reported as Mary Bouth in some sources. She died in 1670 in Anne Arundel, Maryland, according to some sources, or 1672 in others. The documentation is unclear. Some sources indicate that his first wife's name is unknown! The only date I have seen for Susannah's death is just the year. But the year reported in her memorial on Find a Grave is 1692, the same year of Mareen's death in some sources. But Mareen married again and died in 1694. Susannah's son's obituary comments that Susannah died before Mareen, but gives no date. "Mareen Brasseur "the younger" Duvall At the age of 12 yr. his father, who was predeceased by his mother, died in 1692." [This would indicate that Mareen the Younger was born in about 1680.] -- Find A Grave Memorial #49426955, http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=49426955 Mareen's third wife was Mary Stanton, according to sources. She is the Mary named in his will. On the memorial for Susannah on Find a Grave, her maiden name is spelled Bassuer, an odd spelling, not fitting any spelling convention in French or English. It is normally rendered in sources in the English form of Brashear or Brashears. It must be a typo for Brasseur. We left a note on the memorial to this effect.

Some genealogies spell her family name Brazeale, some Breazeale. Other common ways to spell this same family name in different lineages are Brazil and Braziel. Mississippi Marriages, 1776-1935 Mary Brazeale Owen Jenkins Marriage 13 Dec 1855 Madison County The marriage record says Owen and Mary married in December 1855, yet the 1860 census reports their daughter Julia as 5 years old already. If she was really 5 years old, and they used the correct census date of 1 July, Julia would have been born before July 1855. Even going by the actual date the enumerator got to the Jenkins household in September, she would have been born before September 1855. So they must have rounded her age report up a year or more. No image of the original record was provided. If the marriage record has been transcribed correctly, Julia could not have been born before September 1856, meaning she would have been only about 4 years old at census time in 1860. 1860 Federal Census, Attala County, Mississippi, 19 September, Township 13, page 200 (scan 466), Hse #1301, Fam #1421 Owen Jenkins 42 M Farmer $0 Real Estate $50 Personal born SC Mary J Jenkins 35 F Housekeeper born Tenn Julia Jenkins 5 F born Miss John A Young 38 M Physician $0 Real Estate $4000 Personal born NC Rachel Young 25 F born North Carolina James G Young 6 M born Miss Henry P Young 2 M born Miss

North Carolina, Index to Marriage Bonds, 1741-1868 Drury Christian Spouse Betsey Brewer Bondsman Allen Brewer Bond #000160221, Record #01 042 North Carolina Marriage Bonds, 1741-1868 From the research of Erik Christensen: ---------------- Hi Orville, I recently added Betsey Brewer (circa 1767 - 1806), wife of Drury Christian, to my tree and came across her in your well-researched tree as well. Betsey was the daughter of Reese (often spelled Reace, Rece, etc.) Brewer and Sally (maiden name unknown). Our line descends from Reese and Sally's son Sterling Brewer. We had long suspected that Sterling's father was Reese, but I didn't know that for sure until today, when I finally found his Will in Dickson County, Tennessee. The Will can be found in my Gallery for Reese Brewer. In the Will, you can see that Reese leaves one dollar to his son-in-law D Christian. I have found a marriage record for Drury Christian and Betsey Brewer in Warren County, North Carolina, which is where Reese and his family lived for several years. The bondsman for her wedding was Allen Brewer, who I know from another record was a son of Reese Brewer. I believe Betsey had likely died before 1806, since Reese leaves property to another living daughter, Jean Thomas, and lists her by name, rather than his "Thomas" son-in-law. Reese likely descends from John Brewer who died around 1780 in Hertford County, North Carolina. -- Erik Christensen, Ancestry Messaging to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 8 May 2020 ---------------- "4 Aug. 1786; Ack: July Ct.1786.

Stella Brewer was born in Tennessee in November 1883. We do not have details about the time in Tennessee. From the births of the children in the 1900 census, we can see the Brewer family moved from Tennessee to Indian Territory between 1889 and 1897. In the 1900 census her name is reported as Estelle. Later sources, including her obituary, record her name as Estella. She is commonly known as Stella. 1900 Federal Census, Cherokee Nation, Indian Territory, 21 June, Township 15, District 40, page 9B, Hse/Fam #173 Brewer, William Head W M Aug 1857 42 Married 20 yrs TN AL TN Farmer Rents Brewer, Molly Wife W F Oct 1864 35 Married 20 yrs 9 child/6 living AL TN AL Brewer, Leonard Son W M Mar 1882 18 Single TN AL AL Farm Laborer Brewer, Estelle Dau W F Sept 1883 16 Single TN TN AL Brewer, William Son W F Oct 1887 12 TN TN AL Brewer, Charley Son W F Nov 1889 10 TN TN AL Brewer, Vera Dau W F July 1897 2 Indian Terr TN AL Brewer, Myrtle Dau W F Mar 1900 2mos Indian Terr TN AL Brewer, Myrtle Dau W F Mar 1900 2mos Territory TN AL 1910 Federal Census, Nash, Muskogee, Oklahoma, 2 May, District 107, Page 14A, Hse/Fam #107 Jackson, Sam Head M W 36 Married 8 years OK TX GA Farmer Jackson, Stella Wife F W 26 Married 8 years 4 children/2 living TN TN AL Jackson, Alvin Son M W 6 OK OK TN Jackson, William Son M W 11mos OK OK TN Stella married Sam Westfall Jackson about 1902. In the 1910 census we find that after 8 years, Stella has had 4 children, but only two of them are still living. This means Stella had a child about every 2 years, but two of them died in this 8-year period. Note that both the living children were born in Oklahoma. Their son Alvin would have been born about 1904 and William himself tells us in a postcard to an aunt that his birthday was 23 Apr 1909. (April was the census month, so his age of 11 months in the 1910 census matches that birth date.) During these five years between 1904 and 1909, family sources tell us they were in Parker County, Texas. While Sam and Stella lived in Parker County, Texas, two children died in infancy, one male and one female in 1907-8. No names are given on the graves. The last one died in 1908. Only the year is given on the gravestone, no specific date. Betty Jackson Hess makes reference to the child who died in 1908. Some notes on a picture shared by Linda Martin Hanks are somewhat helpful here. In October 2007, Linda shared with Green-Jackson family researcher Cindy Beam some letters and the picture from Betty Jackson Hess, a daughter of James Toliver and Elizabeth Tate Jackson. These documents were written about 1985. Cindy shared with me and her brother Marion Mixon the basic transcriptions she made of these documents. We three worked on the analysis and interpretation of these valuable family notes from Betty. --------------------------------------- NOTES ON THE BACK OF A PICTURE POST CARD Written by Betty Jackson Hess to Linda Martin Hanks Transcription by Orville Boyd Jenkins ========= [Betty Jackson Hess:] Uncle Sam Jackson and two sons. The oldest Alvin M was about 5 when they left Weatherford to go back to Okla in 1908. They lost a little boy. He is buried in the cemetery where my mother and little sister is buried, in the Curtis Cemetery at Weatherford. His name was Haskle. Aunt Stellar had died when this was taken. [left side writing, Betty Jackson Hess:] I have a picture of all 4 so you can keep this one. [center lighter writing, William Andrew Jackson:] I Will send this card we had taken of us at Whits Park. Andrew Jackson. I was 12 years old I am now 14 will send better picture latter [sic] [right side writing, William Andrew Jackson:] birthday 24 April 1923 --------------------------------------- This means that they were still in Muskogee, Cherokee Nation, in 1904 when Alvin was born, but then in Parker County, Texas, by 1905 or 1906, to match the date of death of their first infant there in 1907. Following the death of their second infant in Parker County, they had to be back in Oklahoma, presumably in Muskogee County, by the end of 1908 or early 1909, depending on whether they were traveling after Stella was pregnant with William. This is a long distance to be going back and forth in those days. Muskogee is in east central Oklahoma, and Parker County is west of Ft Worth, Texas, Note that Betty memntions only one infant lost in Parker County, saying that Sam and Stella had lost a little boy named Haskle and that he is buried in the Curtis Cemetery in Weatherford (Parker county), Texas. There are two Jackson infants in the Curtis Cemetery, but both are listed only as "Baby Jackson." Neither has the names of parents. The infant Betty remembers is most likely that second one, dying in 1908. Another cousin and researcher, Mary Jo Bledsoe reports that Sam and Stella lost two infants, not just the one boy, in Weatherford, Texas, matching the grave records. In 1910 we find Stella's widowed father living in Wagoner County, Oklahoma. Wagoner is the county north of Muskogee County where Stella and Sam Jackson are living. This is still in the lands of Cherokee Nation. 1910 Federal Census, Wagoner County, Oklahoma, 22 April, Blue Mound Township, District 235, page 2B, Hse/Fam #35 Brewer, William T Head M W 52 Widowed TN AL TN Farmer Rents Brewer, Charley M W 20 Single TN TN AL Brewer, Ethel F W 12 OK TN AL [matches Vera in 1900] Brewer, Myrtel F W 10 OK TN AL Brewer, Thelma F W 8 OK TN AL According to notes from Betty Jackson Hess, it appears Sam and the family went back to Parker County after the 1910 census, either to visit or to live. Since we know they were in Riverside, California, by 1918, they probably went to Weatherford to visit on their way to California. Andrew's note on the photo postcard seems to say he was sending the card after his 14th birthday, on 23 April 1923. But Andrew says the photo on the other side of the card was taken actually when he was 12. Note that Betty comments that Stella had died before the photo was taken. That would mean Stella had died before 1921, which matches the 1920 census report in Riverside, California, that Sam was a widow. In one of her letters, Betty Hess says Stella died when she was 12 (meaning about 1912, since Betty was born in 1900). But records found later tell us that Stella did not die in 1912, but moved to California with Sam and the boys. But Stella had died when the photo discussed above was taken in 1921. In March 2012 I found what a record for Stella in 1918. The location matches the census location, though the street address is different. Stella's name here is Estella, matching closely the name Estelle in the 1900 census. Estella could be either the full name, for which Stella is a short form, or a formalized version of her name Stella. This reference to "Estella Jackson" is given in Sam's 1918 draft registration for WWI in Riverside, California. World War I Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918 Samuel Jackson Residence 178 E Fifth St, Riverside, Riverside County, California Birth Date: 8 Jan 1876 Farmer Wife Estella Jackson 6' 1", Slender Brown Hair and Eyes Registered 12 September 1918 Riverside, California This reference to another form of Stella's name led a cousin Kati Jackson to find some more missing pieces in late April 2012. She found the Brewer family in Cherokee Nation, in the same Township 15 where Sam's cousin Jacob Green and his wife Susan Barnett were enumerated in the 1900 census. This matches the 1910 census where Sam and Stella were in Nash Township, near Muskogee, also with Jacob and Susan. Jacob and Susan also moved to California after 1910. The picture was coming together. Our coresearcher Butch Mixon then found a listing for Sam and Stella for that same year in the recently posted city directories for Riverside, California. Here she is called Stella. U.S. City Directories 1918 Riverside City Directory, p 111 Jackson Saml (Stella) Rancher Home 178 E 5th In January 1920, the census, which I had found a long time before, had reported that Sam was a widower, still in Riverside City, Riverside County, California. 1920 Federal Census, Riverside County, California, 5 January, Riverside City Ward 2, District 118, Page 3A, Hse #47, Fam #55 Jackson, Sam W Head M W 45 Widowed OK GA GA Farm Caretaker Jackson, Alvin Th. Son M W 15 OK OK GA Jackson, Wm Andrew Son M W 10 OK OK GA Now with the information from the 1918 Draft Registration, I could say that Estella/Stella Brewer died between 12 September 1918 and 1 January 1920 (census date) in Riverside California. Along with finding Stella's 1900 census with her parents, Kati found the record of her death in the California Death Index on FamilySearch.org, though we had not found it on Ancestry.com. This confirmed that Estella Jackson died 27 June 1919. California Death Index, page 5293 Jackson, Estella Spouse's Initial S Age 35 Died County 33 (Riverside) Date 6 27 19 State File Number 25671 -- FamilySearch, https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1951-26181-11354-78?cc=1932433&wc=14216746 This listing of her name as Estella in the death record would seem to indicate that the proper form of her name was Estella. Thanks to my cousin Beverly Mixon Hill, for a clipping of Stella's obituary, published in a Riverside, California, newspaper. Unfortunately this obit does not say in which cemetery she was buried. ------------------------------------- Obit for Estella Brewer Jackson Courtesy of Beverly Mixon Hill Obit Column "In the Shadow" Riverside Daily Press, Riverside, California, [Tuesday] 1 July 1919 (Transcribed by Orville Boyd Jenkins, punctuation and capitalization transcribed as is) Mrs. Estella Jackson Funeral services for the late Mrs. Estella Jackson, wife of S. W. Jackson of 178 East Fifth Street, were held yesterday [30 June 1919] from the chapel of Ward, Amstatz and Glenn and were attended by a large company of friends of the bereaved family. Rev. Richard Day, pastor of the First Baptist Church, of which Mrs. Jackson was a member, had the services in charge and the pallbearers were members of the Westside Friendship Circle -- Mesdames C. N. Sheldon, James Kidder, H. A. Mumy, C. W. Fliekinger, R. D. Perkins and Miss Martha Babel. Mrs. Jackson was born in Tennessee September 15, 1883 and when quite young moved with her parents to Oklahoma, where at the age of 18 years she became the wife of S. W. Jackson, the wedding taking place at Fort Gibson, Okla. To this union were born four children, two who died in infancy, Alvin, 13 years, and William, 10 years, survive. The father of Mrs. Jackson, three brothers and three sisters, also survive to mourn her loss. They all reside in Oklahoma. Mr. and Mrs. Jackson came to California in 1912, and for three years they made their home in West Riverside, where Mrs. Jackson was a favorite member of the Friendship Circle. Of later years, they have made their home on East Fifth street, and Mr. Jackson has been in the employee of the city park department. For several years Mrs. Jackson has been in feeble health, and has lived the life of a semi-invalid for many months. She passed away Friday morning [27 June 1919*] at 2:30 o'clock, death bringing grateful release from suffering. She was a devoted member of the Baptist church and through all of her years of illness lived the Christian faith of which she was a devout follower. *Date of death from California Death Index ----------------------------------

From the research of Erik Christensen: ---------------- Hi Orville, I recently added Betsey Brewer (circa 1767 - 1806), wife of Drury Christian, to my tree and came across her in your well-researched tree as well. Betsey was the daughter of Reese (often spelled Reace, Rece, etc.) Brewer and Sally (maiden name unknown). Our line descends from Reese and Sally's son Sterling Brewer. We had long suspected that Sterling's father was Reese, but I didn't know that for sure until today, when I finally found his Will in Dickson County, Tennessee. The Will can be found in my Gallery for Reese Brewer. In the Will, you can see that Reese leaves one dollar to his son-in-law D Christian. I have found a marriage record for Drury Christian and Betsey Brewer in Warren County, North Carolina, which is where Reese and his family lived for several years. The bondsman for her wedding was Allen Brewer, who I know from another record was a son of Reese Brewer. I believe Betsey had likely died before 1806, since Reese leaves property to another living daughter, Jean Thomas, and lists her by name, rather than his "Thomas" son-in-law. Reese likely descends from John Brewer who died around 1780 in Hertford County, North Carolina. -- Erik Christensen, Ancestry Messaging to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 8 May 2020 ---------------- Will of Rees Brewer Part 3 Aug 1806 Dickson County, Tennessee After the death of wife Sally Brewer, Household & kitchen furniture equally divided between: Three youngest chidlren John, Sally & Priscilla Son Sterling Brewer, $1 Son-in-law D Christian, $1 Daughter Jean Thomas, 2 slaves Tennessee Probate Court Books, 1795-1927, Dickson, Wills 1800-1899, Loose Records, Pages 80-81, FamilySearch.org, courtesy of the research of Erik Christensen, on Ancestry 07 May 2020, accessed 8 May 2020
