Actual dates are from family members or cemetery records. Ca dates are from the 1860 Census. For those with no date, I have not yet found them on any record.
Note:
John Samuel Brasington is my Great Grandfather. I have no pictures of him and he died about 14 years before I was born. This is my way of getting closer to him. I expect to meet him when my time comes to --"pass over the river, and rest under the shade of the trees." This entire web site is dedicated to him.
