Breedlove Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit In reviewing my notes for the earlier generations, I have come across some data that needs clarifying. For as long as I can remember, Thomas and Sarah Broadus Breedlove are said to have had a son Benjamin. None of the documents I have found for any of their others siblings ever mention a brother Benjamin. This Benjamin is said to be the one who enlisted in Albemarle Co., VA in 1781 at age 19, dark hair, gray eyes, 5'8" tall. His birth in 1762 matches that of Benjamin Watkins Breedlove, son of Benjamin & Mary Watkins Breedlove, who is known to have fought in the Revolution as he received land in Georgia in 1799, but it was for service in Georgia State Troups. Does anyone have a copy of the service record or any enlistment records for the Benjamin Breedlove who enlisted in Albemarle? Can't find my copies anywhere but I have a notation in my notes that said the record showed his father was Thomas and he had a brother William. The note source got deleted so I am not sure where that came from. On another subject, I have found that a lot of Breedlove's don't show up on the normal census schedules for 1850 and 1860 but are listed on the Slave schedules as owners. Does anyone know why someone would be listed in a county as a slave owner and not listed at all on the normal schedule, not even anywhere in the state or country? For instance, Leonard P. Breedlove is listed in 1850 as owning 8 slaves in Talbot Co., GA., but is not listed on the regular schedule. He is married to Sarah Johnson (1st wife) and has a son Moses age 19, so I would think he would be listed. Was the regular and slave census taken at the same time by the same enumerator?
