Many in the family moved to Vermilion Co., Illinois in the 1820's. The Brazelton's were Quakers and it is likely some Brazelton's are buried at Pilot Grove, east of Ridge Farm. There was a Meeting House there, but there were others at Georgetown, so you need to consult Quaker records. William Brazelton was the foster parent to my ggg-grandfather Israel Patton when he was orphaned/abandoned in the early 1800's in Jefferson co., TN. Israel came to Vermilion County in around 1825 and William Brazelton came shortly thereafter. Some of William Brazelton's brothers came to Vermilion co. as early as 1823. Please contact me for further information. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
