What is more fitting than naming their first son William Martin Breedlove after both their fathers? I have long suspected that the Mankin middle name whose source was in LDS records was an error in reading an old faded document but this has not been confirmed as yet. What Carol has found is an old letter written by a grand-daughter of William (whatever his middel name is) stating that she knew his father was named David and that her father had an Uncle Jack Breedlove in Laclede County, Missouri. This Uncle Jack is Warren Jackson Breedlove who married Elizabeth Lowry, dau of Thomas Lowry and Cinderilla Breedlove, dau of Martin Breedlove, and the Warren Jackson Breedlove I had earlier determined to be a son of David and Nancy Breedlove. My earlier synopsis of the Family of David and Nancy Breedlove shows an unknown Male 1 that fits exactly with what is known about William Mankin, except in my rundown I only gave a birth year span for M1 after 1812, forgetting that they could have had a son in 1811 before son Cornelius and after their marriage in 1810. Descendants of Warren Jackson Breedlove and William Mankin(?) Breedlove thus are descendants of both William Breedlove, Revolutionary War Soldier, and his brother Martin Breedlove. Tom King
