Karen, I have information for your Brackett line. Missouri (Zudie) Brackett's father was James K. Polk Brackett (1848-1884) He married Melissa Peierce(no further info). James K. Polk's parents were Mige Brackett(1812-1884c) and Cynthia Hubbard(1812-1848); his Grandparents were Thomas Brackett, b c1775(lived in Rutherford Co, NC) and Elizabeth "Betsey"(whose surname has not been determined); Cynthia Hubbard parents' were Riley and Nellie Wilkerson Hubbard; and was part Cherokee. Mige and family were enrolled in the Siler Roll of 1852. Two of Mige's brothers, Benjamin and Lewis, also married Hubbards. Cynthia Hubbard Brackett died in Gilmer Co, GA in 1848 and is buried at Ballcreek Cem., Elijay, GA. The above information was taken from a book, entitled, "Benjamin Brackett of the Carolinas" written by Shirley Adair, who lives in Texas. I am sending a copy of this message to her, as I know she would like to correspond with you and include your "Missouri" family. My GGGrandfather was Morgan and Mary Amanda Walker Brackett who moved from Rutherford Co, NC, to Union Co, GA, in 1840's. Morgan's father is also believed to be Thomas Brackett, but have not determined the relationship with the above family, although, I am certain there is one (possibly brothers or half/brothers. I would like to find the connection. I have always happy to meet another Brackett researcher.
