Drury Basham appears as BRASHEARS in the index pages
Nathan Basham appears as BRASHER after death of S.H. Basham
Alexander Sr. And Alexander Jr. Are recorded
Where is Middleton Brashears in these records?

Because it does no appear that said petitioners are the widow and only child of said Jesse dec. it will be necessary to sell said land 3 June 1850. Land warrent #69030 for 160 A in name of Margaret (Wright?) Brashers widow & Robert Brashers child and heir at law of Jesse dec. .....
