Since I descend from Keturah's sister, Sarah Ann Elizabeth (Liza) Breazeal Ogden, I have extensive data on this family. Keturah and Liza were daughters of Hosea Bright Breazeale (1813-1891) and his wife Sarah Elizabeth Mayfield (1817-1888). Their Family Bible is posted online here: http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/la/union/bible/hbbbible.txt Some of their lineage goes back many generations. Bright Breazeale's father is unknown (his mother had him out of wedlock), but his mother was Nancy Breazeale Lawless (1791-1841), the daughter of Joel Brazeal (1750s-1829) and Rebecca Griffin (1750s-1844). Joel's father Henry Brazeal, Jr. is about as far as I have personally researched, but I'm told the line goes back even further. Keturah's mother Sarah E. Mayfield was the daughter of War of 1812 veteran Archibald Mayfield (1794-1833) and Tabitha Bennett (1798-1842), and granddaughter of Revolutionary War veteran Samuel Mayfield and his wife Jane, and Rev. Elisha Bennett and his wife Sarah Todd. All of these lines (except Jane Mayfield's) is proved back at least one more generation. Contact me if you are interested in additional information. Tim
