How far back do you have death records? I have been searching for: John Brashears born: 1829-1832 (More likely in Ark. or could be in Lawrence County, Tennessee). Now, in the book: The Billingsley Family in America, it states he died between 1857-1860. His wife: Nancy H. Billingsley-Brashears lived briefly in Fannin Co Texas with him and a son called Egbert Brashears because she gave birth to Mary Rebecca Brashears in March of 1856 in Honey Grove, Fannin Co Texas. I just know he must of died there. She went on to Johnson Co Texas and lived with her mom, Rebecca Shipley Billingsley and family by 1858-1859. She remarried in 1862 to a confederate soldier. Can anyone in Fannin County Texas help?nancy & John Brashears were married in Dec 1852 in Lawrence County, Texas. Nancy was living with family in Lawrence County, Texas at that time.Help!!!!
