    3. Dear Marilyn, It was very kind of you to share your information about the headstone of MOSES BLAND BRAZIL (1846-1921) at Henrietta, TX. Perhaps one of his descendants will read your message and want the picture of his monument you offered. This MOSES BRAZIL was indeed related to the one in Saline County 1830-1869: the senior MOSES was his uncle. MOSES B's father, VALENTINE BRAZIL (1801-1862+), is recognized as an original pioneer of Saline County, arriving there from Lawrence County during the 1820's. MOSES B's mother was ELIZABETH BLAND, daughter of MOSES BLAND. The VALENTINE BRAZIL family, in company with several of their relatives including JAMESes, moved to Ouachita County c.1845. MOSES B's Confederate pension application, filed in Texas, states that he was born at Salem, Ouachita County, and served in Captain MAIN's Company of Colonel GRIFFIN's Regiment before being transferred to "K" Company, 33rd Infantry, Tappan's Brigade, in March, 1865.
