William and Sarah (Hayes) Brashier --- he was born 1809, she 1816 --- had 9 known children born 1839-1856, none of them named William. Perhaps your William Brashier was a grandson or great-grandson; it would be interesting to find out. Sounds like a different Davis family. The Davises associated with the Hayes family came according to family legend from the vicinity of Dyersburg, TN. LV Hayes lvhayes@worldnet.att.net ------------------------------
