She was buried in the Miller Cemetery in Grayson County, Kentucky. I believe she was the wife of Jonathan Bratcher shown on page 313, line 17 of the 1830 Census of Grayson County. Jonathan and his wife were between 20 and 30 years of age (thus b. betweem 1800-1810) with two sons under 5 years of age (thus b. between 1825-1830. I think the sons were Reubin "Rube" and Presley. Jonathan Bratcher does not appear in the 1840 census. There is a Reubin Bratcher (age 21, KY Farmer) living with the family of Robert Goode (HH # 512) in the 1850 Census. Presley Bratcher, age 18 (HH # 904) was living with and/or working for the family of Samuel and Elizabeth (Dewees) Payton. This would place his birth about 1832; however, his marriage record to Elizabeth Harrison on 27 Mar 1854 shows him as age 25 at that thime (thus b. ca 1829). 1830 Census-Grayson Co, KY - Susanna Stinson d.18 Apr 1837 Harrel, Blue - page 315-19 - 1000100000000 - 0000100000000 1840 Census-Grayson Co, KY - Margaret Stinson-Bratcher d. 15 Apr 1843 Herrald, Blue - page 139-10 - 1410010000000 - 1000010000000 1850 Census-Grayson Co, KY - HH # 852 - Mary McDaniel Herrald, Blue - 43, KY - Farmer -$1600 Real Estate Herrald, Mary - 30, KY Herrald, Alfred - 19, KY Herrald, Martha - 01, KY All Harrells were shown as Herralds in the 1850 census of Grayson County.
