NOTE: The children fit except Nancy (adopted) is not included. So I am pretty sure this is the right family. BUT the 1820 January Court stating that William Breedlove is an orphan of John Breedlove doesn't fit with this census record, nor does it fit with the 1827 death date that I have. 1810 Census Madison Co. Kentucky p. 207 James Breedlove 1 male under 10 and 1 male 26-45; 1 female under 10 and 1 female 26-45 William Breedlove 1 male under 10 and 1 male 26-45; 3 females under 10 and 1 female 26-45 NOTE: I think these must be brothers to John. He is with them in 1811. In 1810 In the Madison Co. Kentucky Tax Lists FHL #0008126 There are NO Breedloves until 1811 then 1811 on page 6 JOHN BREEDLOVE 1 white male above 21 with 3 horses on page 8 James Breedlove 1 white male above 21 with 2 horses William Breedlove 1 white male above 21 1812 p. 8 William Breedlove 1 male over 21 1 horse 10 James Breedlove 1 male over 21 2 horses (No listing for John) 1813 p.5 James Breedlove 1 male over 21 3 horses William " 1 horse p. 8 William Breedlove " " 1814 p. 8 William Breedlove 1 male over 21 2 horses total value $30 9 James Breedlove " 2 horses $60 1815 James Breedlove McWilliams Reg. 19 1 male 3 horses %70 1816 (The film is too light to read) 1817 p. 10 John Breedlove Duneany Reg. 7 1 male 3 horses $75 In this county there is a lot of Broaddus surnames and Berryman families. These are names that appear as given names of children in the Breedlove family history. I wonder if the McWilliam listed as head of one regiment is where Mary gets her middle name. 1830 Census Jackson Co., Indiana Elizabeth Breedlove 1 male 10-15, 1 male 15-20, 1 male 20-30 1 fem. 15-20 1 female 50-60 Bk 6-436 Elizabeth and Margaret are the females (Mary md @1827 and Elizabeth 1824) Theodore S., John A., and Thos. James are the males (William is living next door) William Breedlove 1 male under 5; 2 males 20-30 2 fem. 10-15; 1 fem. 15-20 1 female 50-60 Since John died in 1827, this Elizabeth could be her as a widow. Her son William could be living next door with a brother and a young wife. BUT who is the older female living with them? It isn't Elizabeth, she's next door. It could be his wife's mother. That would explain the grown children living with them.

John Breedlove was in Indiana before he died in 1827. If this is the right family, this brother William did not come to Indiana with his father David Sr. and David Jr., who married Elizabeth Breedlove in Jackson Co. in 1824. They could have moved later from Kentucky to join their family in Indiana in the 1840s. In the Everyname index to the Census for 1860 FHL Fiche #6334383 There is a Nancy Johnson, age 66 b.

Indiana, Richland Township, P.O. Bloomfield, June 1870 KING Mary M. age 66 born in Indiana is living with her daughter Elizabeth and spouse Milton Abrams.

In the crowd with the Breedloves were the Millers, Hoovers, and Chanbers. They crossed the Ohio river at Louisville, Ky, landing at New Albany, Ind. Here the families separated - the Breedloves went to Brown County and settled in near Helmsburg. John and James stayed there. James died in 1902. John was in the war of 1812, and was married twice. Dates and names unknown except that the second wife was Polly Ann and they had a set of twins.

She states her birth as 29 July 1836 near Nashville, Brown Co., Indiana. She is living in Kaysville, Utah CIVIL WAR PENSION RECORD: Submitted 2 Jan 1892 (age 55) resident of Greene, Indiana a request for pension for herself as she served as a washerwoman at Keokuk, Iowa at Estes Hospital. She continued there until her husband Milton Abrams was discharged in August 1865. Pension file for Milton Abrams shows death date of Elizabeth Abrams Crane as 18 Jan 1926. At that time she was living with her daughter Mary E. May and Hilda Manwaring at #132 No. State St., SLC. Utah In a Reinstatement of Pension given 22 July 1901, Elizabeth Crane aged 67 states she is the widow of Abrams, Milton and of Nathaniel B. Crane. She drew a pension for minor children Mary Elizabeth and Charley until they were 16. She got $8.00 per month which was raised to $12 per month Charles Abrams, son of Milton and Elizabeth states pension was renewed and she is now receiving $30 a month. He is requesting an increase in the pension since he states that she is 89 years of age and resides in Kaysville, Utah with Charles. He states "in physically helpless as well as mentally impaired. I take care of her in all respects." He also gives an insight into the Crane marriage. "Captain Crane was, towards the end of his life, a paralytic. He received a pension, amount unknown to depondent. Before his death his son took him away from my mother and separated them under the pretense, as I am informed and believe, of caring for him and that son afterward obtained in some manner his father's pension on his death. William Wilkerson, father of Solomon, gives a deposition age 66.
