Diane, You did well. This gets more and more interesting. I just looked in the Shirley Adair book, "Benjamin Brackett of the Carolinas" and found that Rutha A. Brackett is daughter of David Brackett and Nicy Elizabeth Eunice Hunt. David Brackett was brother of my Thomas Brackett who married Mary/Polly Queen. Oh, my Goodness.
