I have three Brashear brothers/cousins who married three Cox daughters in the years surrounding the 1770s. The Brashears are William, James and Samuel. The daughters are Sithey, Hannah and Sarah Cox. The Cox girls were born in Orange Co.,NC. Their father was William Cox. The Coxes and Brashears, along with a group of other families, migrated to Greenville, SC in the 1780s. I am hoping that by finding out more about the Brashears, I can not only add to my Brashear info., but also discover more about the Cox line. I don't know where William Cox came from before NC in 1750s, and since these families migrated together later, maybe they did when first moving into NC, and I could find out where William is from. Anyway, I hope I haven't completely confused everybody out there, and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Amy,
You've got your families mixed. (Which I why I started researching both these families in the beginning).William, James, and Samuel were from the Brasher family, not the Brashear.James and Samuel are sons of Thomas Brazier and his second wife, Hannah _____.William is a grandson, s/o William Brasher, oldest son of Thomas, who died young.They all descend from William B. Brashier, 1674-1708, the earliest documented ancestor of this family that I have.
Shirley Brasher McCoy and I have done two books, but they are on entirely different families with almost the same surname.We have tried--believe me, we have tried--but have found no connection between these families, even though they lived in the same counties in Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Kentucky.In 300 years, there have only been two marriages between the families that I have found.
