I am puzzled about some of this information. I had thought that the Benjamin Breedlove who married Mary Watkins was the son of Thomas Breedlove and Sarah Broaddus. I have also been given information, which may or may not be true, that lists the wife of Benjamin and Mary's son John Watkins Breedlove as Sarah Nesbitt. What John Watkins married twice?
