!"The Brashear(s) Family History,..." by Charles Brashear and Shirley Brasher McCoy:
No proof for this man as husband, but seems most likely. He was one of the executors of Benjamin Brasseur's estate in 1663. In "A History of Calvert County" by Charles Francis Stein on page 243, there is a reference to the marriage - "Captain John Cobreath of "Devon" and "Good Luck," Calvert Co., married a daughter of Robert Brasseur.
