Thanks, Corine. No, I haven't checked Grayson Co., but I hope Susanna Noe reads your mail as she is looking for Nancy Jane Lipsic Black Brashier. Actually, I'm not researching Brashear(s), but wrote to Charles Brashear as some cousins, based on interviews done in the 1930s, believe an Elizabeth Brashears was the mother of various Fisher 'offspring' including our 3GGrandmother, Rebecca Fisher, 2nd wife of Forbis LeFlore. I disagreed and still disagree as I believe Martha Hay(e)s was the mother.
