I only have one Brashears in my file, her name was Altamira (or Attamira) and she married Phillip M. Blevins. They both died in Mountain Home, Baxter County, she in 1912 and he in the 1890's. She was reportedly born in Tennessee about 1835, but I don't know her parents.......HRB -------------------------------------------------- From: "Beth Cooper" <bpc4u@sbcglobal.net> Sent: Friday, December 17, 2010 2:49 PM To: <arizard@rootsweb.com> Subject: Re: [ARIZARD] Brashear, Robert Samuel & Pheobe Nicks > > > Here's a refresher for all you Mason researchers > > This is directly lifted from Charles Brashear's Vol 2: Robert C.
