SAMUEL MASON BROSHEARS and ELIZABETH HUMPHREY were in the same church in 1814.
She married to Emanuel Brashers on 9 January 1830 in Ohio County, Kentucky.
I have a book called "Brashear Families of the Ohio Valley, Vol. 4". There are many Brashear, Broshears, Brasseur burials near the Ohio River in Warrick, Gibson, Spenser, Vanderburgh as well as other nearby counties in the southwestern Indiana and northwestern Kentucky. Interesting read and vital information! Can't put them all in here.
A large number of Beshear(s) families, descendants of Jeremiah and Elizabeth Brashears, lived in Hopkins, Christian, and Caldwell Counties, Kentucky, beginning about 1800. They are not to be confused with the large number of Brasher families living in the same area at the same time, who are descendants of John and Aquilla Brasher, sons of Thomas Brazier, who migrated from Greenville County, South Carolina, about 1805. Both families used familiar names like John, Thomas, and Henry, but both also used unusual names like Emanuel, Hampton and Larkin. Beshear(s) is a fairly common corruption of Brashears, and the family seems to have stemmed from Jeremiah and Elizabeth Brashears, of Spartanburg County, South Carolina.
