I'm kind of hazy about this and my papers are all up north. I am descended from a Brashear. Don't remember how. Believe it is a Fairfax Co./Stafford Co., Va. Ball connection. The connection is back in the 1700's some place. I have never done any work on this line. Can you point in any direction? Mary Szymanowski Julia A.
