Hi, Lanita, I will never get dug out from all my old genealogy emails, but I'm working on it! You wrote me in July when we were all listing surnames and sent six children of Samuel McBrayer and Elizabeth Abel. I have five more children for them, picked up from various websites. I wonder if they all belong? They are Martin b. abt. 1803 Lavina b. July 01, 1805 William b. March 16, 1808 Eliza Ann b. June 17, 1821 Alfort b. April 05, 1826 [wonder if this should be Alford or Alfred?] My connection to the McBrayers is through the Galpin line they married into several times. All below are Galpins; related to Samuel in the following ways: Audrey A. b. April 1905, 2nd great-granddaughter & d/o Victor Swisher Galpin Heath Conrad b. abt 1935, 3rd great-grandson & s/o Victor Heath Galpin Martha J. b. May 18 1860, wife of grandson Henry J. McBrayer Mary Jane b. Sept. 4 1842, wife of grandson William Martin McBrayer Victor Heath b. May 1 1911, 2nd great-grandson, s/o Victor Swisher Victor Swisher b. Aug. 24 1880, husband of great-granddaughter Maude Gallamore who in turn is d/o Eliza Ann McBrayer (my 'additionals' above). I have several more Gallamores and also a Gallimore who married a Jones - Galpins married Jones, Nation, Place, Lindsey, Swisher, at least one Culver and one Whitt, and nearly everyone else in Daviess Co., I think. Galpin is actually my ex's line but I hold out hope that daughters and/or grandsons may eventually be interested in what I find. And there is a tenuous connection through umpteen marriages and half-siblings between my ex and me, through the Marsh-Love lines. Vanette **************Psssst...Have you heard the news?

Vanette, It certainly is possible that those you listed are additional to what I have. The time frame fits, but they apparently didn't make it to Daviess Co. like those I listed.... Samuel McBRAYER mar. in 1801 according to the U.S. and International Marriages Records, 1560-1900, on ancestry.com. As best has been recorded, they made it to Daviess Co. in 1835, he, Elizabeth, and 6 children are found there... 1850 Daviess Co., MO McBRAYER Andrew, age 26, NC Nancy, age 26, NC Marion W., age 2, NC Ann, age 64, East Tenn Elizabeth I., age 21, NC next door McBRAYER Solomon, age 37, NC Sarah A., age 30, MO Matilda, age 13, MO What sources did you find for the additional children? Will go back to see if any appear in Daviess Co. Census that I have missed.. Lanita

I don't find Alfred [or Alfort] in Daviess Co. in 1850.... Also don't find Martin... I can kinda see Martin [since he's older or more established in 1835 being b. in 1803] to stay behind, but Alford would just be 10.... I can't see him staying behind.. he'd be with Solomon and Elizabeth Ann in the same area or state in 1850 most probably..... The Eliza Ann [possible dau listed] was b. 1821, and would be listed around here in marriage records... she would be just 14 when they moved.. .course, she could have married early.....hmmm, I'll keep this info for future reference, but I'm not sure about those children yet to say yea or nay.
