Comments

It looks like Willis Breazeale 1765 that married Sally Woods born 1787 is the son of Willis Breazeale 1738 he also married Sarah Woods , is this right?

---

and Willis Breazeale 1765 had many brothers one being Archibald Washington Breazeale 1784 and one being my George Washington Breazeale 1780 now I have heard and may have read that Willis Breazeale 1738 was one of  George Washington the President's men that had to work on his Plantation for so many years , do you recall this information in any of your research,

---

I'll see if I can organize a list of Breazeale's for you tomorrow and email it to you. Your trouble is they reused names and married cousins. I'll search for some good documents like DAR and SAR. There's a lot online for the descendants of Archibald Woods because he was a powerful political figure in Virginia.

OK yes I was told strong politics and also I found a Pleasant M Breazeale 1808 Tenn.  married Jane McMullen so yes I added him, this may get interesting. Thanks..  them Spearman's I will have to get back to them later, lol. I don't thank they going no where, seems like they having a shot out down the road I'm going to check this out,  Have a great night.

OK now in the Will of Willis it mentioned his brother Drury Breazeale if Drury Breazeale born 1721 is the one that is his brother? then someone on here has [[Breazeale-155 | Drury Breazeale]] born 1721 and died 1790 Willis Breazeale died 1795, so this Drury Breazeale married a Mary Ann Woods also having a son Drury,  but if he died in 1790 then they was no reason to mention him in this Will, I was going to put his name in and I seen this, and another thing Kennon "Cannon" Breazeale the only brother listed right now on wikitree of Willis Breazeale is this in fact a brother? or does he need to be removed, and do you want me to change the birth of Willis to 1719 on his Wikitree? I'm going a sleep so I will be back on here when I get up, I'm going to add ever Breazeale I can find I got two pages written down just trying to get them in order, Thanks for helping it may take a minute.. this is one I been working on for 3 years off and on

I been working some on George Washington Breazeale born 1780 siblings and family today but manly just making notes getting everything in line

1. Drury born 1721 brother of Willis and Elijah married Mary Woods the daughter of Robert Woods. This Drury had a son Drury born 1752 who married Mary Ann Kinchen.

2. Kennon born 1753 was the son of Henry the third and Sarah Kennon. He married Basket Griffin. Their son Enoch married Nancy Gambrel and had a son Kennon born 1814

3. Willis and Sarah Woods Daughter of Michael Woods had Drury, brother of the 1770 Willis. Drury married his cousin Rhoda Baker who was daughter of Sarah Breazeale. Sarah was the daughter of Henry the third and sister of Elijah 1715.  Drury's first wife was Elizabeth Sparks but apparently she and her baby died in chilbirth

---

Henry the first born 1620 only had two children who lived.

Henry born 1650 and Elizabeth born 1660. Elizabeth marked Henry Lewis.

HENRY THE SECOND had  Henry the third born 1681 and a daughter Elizabeth born about 1700. She married William Edwards.

Henry the second also had a son named Drury born about 1709, died 1778, married to Lucy Unknown, no children surviving.

---

The only reason genealogists chose 1790 as the death date of Drury is because he didn't answer the 1790 census as HEAD of household. He might have been living with his son ?

If you means the Woods gals, I'll do you a list.

Answer 3

Willis Breazeale born 1719 married Sarah Woods, daughter of MICHAEL WOODS AND AGNES SHIELDS.

FIXED Woods spouse

Answer 4

I fixed the Woods, and put the 3 Willis boys where they belong. You might want to double check the line up of siblings but parents on each are now correct.

Comments

I'm still looking at some of the other information I added to make sure I didn't make any more mistake's , Thanks for helping , I believe the biggest problem I'm having is with Willis 1719 1736 the Breazeale family has him 1719 and on Michael Woods Pedigree chart it has his birth 1736 , but we no old Willis was his name, see I come down from son George Washington Breazeale 1780 and they isn't much information on him.
