WARNING! Just so no one makes any mistakes about what Vol 4 is about, this book is about the Brashear(s) Families of the Ohio Valley. As early as the 1750s, Americans began crowding Western Maryland, the Monongahela River valley in southwestern Pennsylvania, and by about 1775, the Ohio River Valley. A fair number of Brashear(s) families and their relatives were among these emigrants- the Elder and Younger William Brashears; Otho Brashear and his wife Ruth Brown (along with two of her brothers who had married two of Otho's sisters); Ignatius "Nacy" Brashear; Marsham Brashear (and his father, Benjamin, and brothers, who, however, moved on to Mississippi); remnants of older Maryland families, like Lt. Rezin Brashears, Nathan Brashears/Brashares Jr, Zachariah Brashears/Broshars; and strays like Joseph M. Brashears of Steubenville. This book is about these people and their families.

To order, send a note telling me what you want and where you want it sent, along with a check or money order (sorry no credit cards), and I'll get the books in the mail as soon as I can. The book is 6" x 9", hardbound, 676 pages (xx + 656), with 59 pages of index, about 50 pictures and seven maps. $40, plus $3 postage and packaging..
