Surnames: Brashears, Collins, Rowe, Ingram Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/WcF.2ACEB/232.1 Message Board Post: Am interested in information about Benjamin Brashears. Believe Benjamin may be my maternal great great grandfather. Know there was a Benjamin Brashears and Illichihona w/ a Wm. Brashears who emigrated to "lands west of the Mississippi." The book is Choctaw Emigration Records 1831-1856, Vol. 1, shows several Brachiers going to Fort Towson, Indian Territory. One of the Brachiers is Benjamin (31) and Illichihona (25) with children William (13), Lila (7), Sukey (3) and Anna (1). (NOTE: one date on the page where their names appear is 2-11-32.) Wm married Mary Jane Collins and had several children--one being Leatha Ann Brashears. Leatha married John Henry Rowe and had one child--Mary Ann Rowe. Mary Ann married John Richard Ingram and they had several children--one of which was my father--John Sullivan Ingram. Have just a little information on Benjamin Brashears and know there are multiple Benjamins in the line. Thought your info might help me. Thanks for any help you can provide. Happy Hunting and GO SEAHAWKS!
