  • Notes 
    • The only Braswell I have is Elizabeth (Betsy), who married John Jaco as her (at least) second husband on 16 Sep 1806 in Logan Co., KY. This was his (at least) second wife. It was the last marriage for both.

      Her daughter, (Francis Annie) Anna Boykin, married his son, Jeremiah Jaco, on 28 Sep 1806 (same month, same place). John and Elizabeth are in the 1810 census of Logan County, KY, he is on the Tax Roll there in 1811 and that is the final entry I have for him there.

      Another son of his, Brooks B., joins the War of 1812 army in Russellville (the county seat of Logan County) in 1812, then marries in Warren Co., TN in 1814. Brooks receives land in 1814, followed by he, Jeremiah and John receiving land dated 14 Oct 1814 in Warren Co.

      This being my earliest entry found in Warren Co. for John and Jeremiah. John is dead before 1826, but not Elizabeth, as she, Jeremiah and Samuel Worthington are on a survey dated 25 Apr 1825, which mentions "line of John Jaco, dec'd. Elizabeth, John, Jeremiah and Annie were members of Concord Baptist Church in Warren County. If this is not the Braswell you are looking for, I do not have another. [3]
    • If you are saying the Elizabeth Braswell below is the same as John's last wife, with their marriage being in Logan Co., KY in 1806, sure, she is in my line, but again, she is not the mother of any of John's children, and I am descended from his last son, Brooks B.
      She also would be in your line, being descended from John's next to last son, Jeremiah, if I remember correctly. Again, she married into the family, and is not the mother of any of John's children, however she would become a part to it by being the mother of Jeremiah's wife, Francis Annie Boykin, therefore she is very much a part of your line, but not in my direct descendency. Would I not be correct on this?

      I asked about Elizabeth Braswell because I located several of her antecedents:

      Still not sure if this is your line…

      David,

      It is good to hear from you again.

      Following is the only mention I have of a Wilcher in my records at this time:

      Arnold/Jeremiah; black bk. 28 May 1999: P 679 ("Our People", 976.8657 V32, Van Buren Co., TN, P 124, Long Cemetery: Brady; J. Bouldin Brady, Sept. 28, 1904 to Apr. 28, 1961. John Bouldin Brady, husband Shirley Hitchcock, son James M. and Ollie Bouldin Brady. James M. Brady, Nov. 29 1873 to Jan. 31, 1965 - husband 1. Ollie Bouldin 2. Beatrice Hillis, son Hugh James Brady and Cherokee Wilcher Brady. Ollie Brady, June 18, 1884 to Aug. 21, 1934, wife James M. Brady, dau. John E. and Martha Curtis Bouldin. Shirley H. Brady, b 17 May 1918, wife of J. Bouldin Brady, dau. of Morris and Leona Jaco Hitchcock).

      The only Braswell I have is Elizabeth (Betsy), who married John Jaco as her (at least) second husband on 16 Sep 1806 in Logan Co., KY. This was his (at least) second wife. It was the last marriage for both. Her daughter, (Francis Annie) Anna Boykin, married his son, Jeremiah Jaco, on 28 Sep 1806 (same month, same place). John and Elizabeth are in the 1810 census of Logan County, KY, he is on the Tax Roll there in 1811 and that is the final entry I have for him there.

      Hello Allen.



      I have run across your name for the last twenty years+ and think we may have had a telephone conversation over the years… I am interested in you pedigree and am wondering if you have WILCHER or BRASWELL in your lineage. Please advise and



      Thank you,

    • Nope, she remains unknown to me. Of course I do not know if John had only one wife prior to his marriage in KY to Mrs. Betsy Boykin (Elizabeth Braswell). The censuses of his time do not give but the one name (head of household), as you well know.
      Since he named the youngest son, Brooks B. (only the initial is known, and he used it on several exhibits I have found), it is possible Brooks' mother's maiden name began with a "B", however it certainly was not Elizabeth Braswell, as he was 18 when they married. Elizabeth and John did not have children together.

      Brooks married an Elizabeth Starnes, and he named his first son John S., and I have never been able to find out what the "S" stands for, but he used it consistantly. Was it Starnes? I doubt I will ever find out.

      Please be careful in using the name "Jeremiah, Jr.". John's son Jeremiah was neither a "Jr.", nor a "Sr." He did have a son named Cornelius who named a son Jeremiah (but not Jeremiah, Jr." as I was named Allen, Jr.), however since his grandfather Jeremiah (John's son) did not pass away until two years following the Civil War (in which the younger Jermiah was a participant), it appears the younger sometimes referred to himself as "Jr." to distinguish between the two. He was not named a Jr. and it has been a bit confusing for him to use the term. The elder Jeremiah also had an elder brother named Cornelius. This Cornelius named a son John, another Cornelius, another Philip (who had a son named Jeremiah, who also was in the Civil War from Warren Co.) Also the elder Jeremiah named a son John.

      If it all sound confusing, that is because it is. When I first began to find records pertaining to them it took a while to get it straight in my mind and on paper.
      Since you are a member of the WCGA (Warren County Gen. Assn.) you should be receiving the monthly newsletter via email. If you are not, please let me know. If you are, you may have seen the articles about the "Pioneer Families", whereby you have an opportunity to submit an application, proving you are a descendant of one who was in Warren County before the end of the year 1820. Without looking it up, I believe I recall you are descended from this elder Jeremiah Jaco we are speaking of here. I am not certain, as I have not spoken with a lady from Murfreesboro, but I have been informed that her submission, using Jeremiah as her ancestor who was present during the qualifying period, has been accepted, and her $10 check has been given to me to deposit, as I am currently the Treasurer of the group, and I asked the qualifying committee to not give me any checks they have not approved the application. If you have not done so, you might want to consider a submission.

      I will make an effort to call you after you have had time to receive this, and mull it over (the part about the families of John and Jeremiah, above.

      Allen

      It appears that Elizabeth Braswell is not the mother of Jeremiah, Jr and Cornelius, do you know who is?
      Thank you,
