     George Washington Camonel Brashears was listed as a resident in Bazil/Basil Brashears Sr. and Margaret "Peggy" Horton's household in the census report on 7 August 1820 at White Co., Tennessee, USA; This is possibly the same Bazil BRASHEARS. The ages are approximately correct for Bazil and his family. He appears on the same census page as four other BRASHERS [sic] households: Thomas, Berry, John, and Middleton. One one hand, none of his brothers or sons have these names and I have found no other evidence of this Bazil having been in White Co., TN. On the other hand, I have not found a Bazil in Roane Co. where he would have been expected.

The ages are approximately correct for Bazil and his family. He appears on the same census page as four other BRASHERS [sic] households: Thomas, Berry, John, and Middleton. One one hand, none of his brothers or sons have these names and I have found no other evidence of this Bazil having been in White Co., TN.
