Thank you so much for sending those land plats! Oh, my goodness, this is amazing. I'm still trying to process the names you've given me below and also the fact that Carole apparently has these Braswells in her family. I just got off the phone with one of the newly identified Dean cousins who has just told me that all these surnames are in her family lines. She said that her family married into the Braswells in Alabama, for example. We figure that our common ancestor is very close to this early Georgia period, possibly in NC. Her information is in an old computer, and all of this has been happening so fast, that she hasn't had time to get it out and retype or whatever to send the information to me. We are both just stunned at my findings tonight, and I'm sure I have found only the beginning. There is a strong connection to Laurens Co, I think, because of the 1784 land grants. I know that my Burney clan left Jefferson Co (which had been St. George and then Burke)when the fellows got land in Washington. I believe I've sent some of the documents that show how one corner of Burke was endangered because of its proximity to Washington and the Indian problem. Anyway, I haven't moved from this chair all day, and I've got serious preparation for tomorrow.

Reddick Sent: Sunday, February 03, 2008 7:42 PM To: gascreve@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [GASCREVE] FW: Edward Blackshear Coalson; correction, Paul Coalson, Braswell connection Hey Sharon, I had been checking for information about Turner Braswell, who had been on Brier Creek starting back in the 1790s. He was the administrator for the estate of Jacob Reddick in about 1807. He then married Jacob's widow Nancy Wiggins Reddick and they had two daughters before Nancey passes away. Turner then married Mary Haye(s). He lived until about 1824 or '25. Mary Haye(s) then married one of the Mobleys living along Brier Creek above Millhaven. Braswell and Mobley Branches above Millhaven point to where those families resided before their lands were acquired by the Seaborn Jones family to be added to Millhaven Plantation. There was another Braswell along Brier Creek, also. I think that he may have been Turner's father.
