by Charles Brashear

Volume 5 of A BRASHEAR(S) FAMILY HISTORY, “Two Brashear(s) Families of the Lower Mississippi Valley, Their Choctaw, & Other Descendants” . . . By the late 1770s, American and European immigrants were already moving into the lower Mississippi Valley in search of new land, even though much of that territory was under Spanish control. Some of them came by ship to Pensacola, Mobile, New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Natchez, all of which were developed ports under French and Spanish administrations. Others came by flatboat down the Cherokee (Tennessee) River, then proceeded down an ancient, Indian trading path, soon to be known as The Natchez Trace. Still others began floating down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers to find new land.
. . . Two branches of the Brashear(s) family were among these early immigrants: 1. Benjamin Brashear and all his children, except Marsham (who stayed in Louisville, KY) and 2. Jesse Brashears and all of his children. In both cases, one or more members of the family married into the Choctaw tribe and founded large families that are still traceable today. Other of
their brothers and cousins founded large, non-Indian families.
