Notes for Elizabeth "Betsy" Brashear

The marriage records of Roane Co., TN, show that Elizabeth "Betsy" Brashears married Hugh Crumbliss on Aug 27, 1810, with Isaac Brashears
as bondsman. Isaac's signature on the marriage bond matches his signature
on the 1801 petition to build a road in Roane County; so we can be pretty
certain that Betsy was Isaac's daughter. Elizabeth was probably the fifth child
of Isaac Brashears and was probably born sometime in the mid-1790's at the Brashears homestead on Brashears Creek in Sugar Grove Valley, Roane Co., Tennessee.
