First Families of Tennessee. Elias was buried next to Popular Creek where North America’s largest water tower once stood at the now decommissioned K-25 Gaseous Diffusion Plant. The headstones were missing before the Manhattan Project. Snyder Roberts verified the existence of the cemetery in his writings. TVA also marked the cemetery on the Watts Bar impoundment maps in the 1930’s. DOE recognized the existence of the cemetery in 2013. There is no documentation proof of Elias's birth date. It has been discovered recently he was born in Brownsville, Pennsylvania. Elias joined Colonel Nathaniel Gist’s Regiments of Continental Army Rangers in May of 1777 and fought in the defense of Philadelphia in the battles of Monmouth and Brandywine in 1777.

Biography

Zaccheus Roberts was the son of Edward Roberts of Pennsylvania. His mother's name is unknown. Zaccheus was a Revolutionary War Soldier who fought in South Carolina in the war for American Independence. He was in the Battle of Fort Moultrie, the Battle of Hanging Rock and the Battle of Eutaw Springs.

The pension application of Zaccheus's widow, Nancy Brashears Roberts states that he served under the following officers in the war: Capt. Eli Cashaw [Kershaw], Lt. Col. Mason [James Mayson] and Col. Thompson. Records for Capt. Kershaw and Lt. Col. Mason and Col. Thompson state that they were in the 3rd South Carolina Rangers.

Acting upon the best information available at the time, descendants of Zaccheus placed a stone in the Roberts Cemetery believing that was his actual burial place. A notation in the book "Roberts Families of Roane County" by Snyder Roberts, and the fact that several of Zaccheus's children are buried there made identification of his burial place as accurate as could be determined at the time of placement. Zaccheus's good friend, Hezekiah Love, who also served in the Revolutionary War is also buried in the Roberts Cemetery. It has been discovered since that time that the actual burial place of Zaccheus is some distance away on the Zaccheus Roberts homeplace at The Preserve on the Clinch, formerly Rarity Ridge.

Biography

Robert C. (Cager?) Brashear married Charity Dowell on 13 Oct 1726 at All Hallows Parish, Anne Arundel Co., Maryland near where her father lived. Charity Dowell was born on 04 Apr 1711 at Anne Arundel Co., Maryland, d/o Phillip Dowell and Mary Tydings). (Also for Mary Tydings see the children of Richard and Charity (_____) Tydings on the Find A Grave Memorial of Thomas Sparrow).

The surname Brashear is found in the genealogical literature in many forms, e. g. Brasseur, Brassier, Brassieur, Brassiere, Brasher, Brashear(s), Boshears, Brashier, Brasier, Brazier, Basher and Bashier but the Anglicized form, Brashear, will be used in this bio. Robert C. Brashear's ancestors were forced out of France by the terrible Catholic religious persecution and massacres of the French Huguenots during the 16th and 17th centuries. From my efforts, his sacrifices are recognized by two hereditary organizations; the "National Huguenot Society" and "The Huguenot Society of the Founders of Manakin in the Colony of Virginia". The Brashear family history in America is a proud one dating to the French Huguenot (French Protestant refugee) immigrant, Benois (Benjamin) Brassier, who landed in Virginia in 1653 but due to the hostile environment created by the English settlers toward Frenchmen, he moved his wife, Mary, and children to Calvert Co., MD in 1658. By 1661 he was commissioned a Justice and later sheriff there. In the year 1663, Benois Brassier was naturalized as a former citizen of France and his name Anglicized as Benjamin Brashears but unfortunately he died intestate in the same year. His widow, Mary Brashears, of Clifts, Calvert Co., MD recorded her will on 25 May 1663 as a pre-nuptial contract with Thomas Starling, her second husband, in which she names the children of her deceased husband, Benjamin Brashears (MdHR, Wills, Book 1, pp187-189. Note: By the early 1700s, the Huguenots in Virginia were given land at Manakin Town, VA (see attached historical markers).

Samuel Brashear, Sr., father of Robert C. Brashear, was the son of Robert Brashear and the grandson of the original immigrant, Benois (Benjamin) Brashear. Samuel married Ann Jones and had extensive land holdings in Maryland. In the 1720s, Samuel Brashear, Sr. and his wife, Ann, made several deeds of gift to their older children. In one such deed: "On 11 Oct 1726, I, Samuel Brashear, Sr., Carpenter, for love of my son, Robert (C.) Brashear, planter, grant him "Brashear's Meadow", 200 acres beginning at a bounded white oak on the east side of Beaverdam Branch (Beaver Dam Creek) of the Eastern Branch of the Potomac near the corner of Laxen's land; if he should marry and his wife outlive him, she to have possession only during her widowhood." (Land Records, PGCo Deeds, BK "M" pp75-77) Two days later Robert C. Brashear married Charity Dowell. The generosity of his father by the land gift a few miles from present day Washington, D.C. got him off to a good start in life at age 21. Robert was given an addition 50 acres, part of the tract called "Orphan's Gift" in his father's will, made and proved in 1740 (Hall of Records, Annapolis, MD, Wills BK "22", pp230-232.) In 1742, after financial difficulties, Robert was arrested for debt and put in debtors prison. He was forced to sell the remainder of his holdings. He and his family moved west across the Potomac River to Truro Parish, Fairfax Co., VA and settled for a few years without owning land. In 1746, Robert sold all that was left of his meager possessions and moved his family to the wilds of North Carolina where he lived most of his adult life in Guilford County.

Robert died at his long time home, Rocky Springs, Guilford County (present day Rockingham Co., N.C.) There seems to be a published error that Robert C. Brashear and his wife, Charity, are buried in the Brashears-Kries Cemetery, Sugar Grove, Roane County, TN, a distance of over 325 densely forested, mountainous, wilderness miles from their accepted death place. This would seem improbable for the times and their attachment to Guilford County. Both the SAR and the DAR accept the fact that Robert C. Brashear lived in and died in Guilford Co., N. C. The proof of his death and burial in Guilford Co., N. C. was established by testimony in "Phillip Brashears vs. Thomas Hewlett" concerning the lease and ownership of "Brashear's Meadows". Among the depositions from Rockingham Co., N.C. submitted to the Maryland court was one from Peter Dowell, Charity's brother, who testified among other things that Phillip Brashear was the oldest son of Robert C. Brashear. Another deposition was from William Williams who swore he had known Robert C. Brashear for 18 years, that Robert died July, 1786, that he (Williams) "was present and saw him die, and knew him when dead and assisted at the burial". William Williams was enumerated in the 1790 US Census of Rockingham Co., N.C. and his household is shown near Zaza Brashear's household. ( Ref. General Court Judgments, Western Shores (Maryland), Vols. 39, 41, 43, Oct. 1798. Film #013051 LDS Library, SLC).

Robert C. Brashear of Guilford Co., N. C., though 77 years of age, supported the American Revolution both with money and as a supplier of goods (It has been suggested he may have even supplied the wagon to transport the supplies and driven it himself), during the 1781 Battle of Guilford Courthouse. For this service, he is recognized as a Patriot of the American Revolution by both the SAR and DAR (Ancestor #A013835). (Revolutionary Army Accounts, VIII:94, Folio 2, State of North Carolina, Dept. of Cultural Resources; Colonial Records of North Carolina, IX:807; XVI:116; XIX:76.)

1) Phillip Brashear, b. Brashear's Meadow, Prince Georges Co., MD, d. 1798 Henry Co., VA, m. Ann Wilson
2) Ann Nancy Brashear, b. 26 Sep 1729 at Brashear's Meadow, Prince Georges Co., MD, d. 30 Nov 1815 Fairfax Co., VA, m. 23 Jun 1745 Moses Ball of Fairfax Co., VA (Reference: Ball Family Bible)

Biography

Husband of Ann Jones Brashear, she was the daughter of William and Dorothy (nee Cager/widow of Mr. Munroe).
Samuel's older brother, Benjamin Brashear, Sr. married Mary Jones, Ann's sister; so the two sets of children were "double cousins", (that is, their fathers were brothers, which made them cousins and their mothers were sisters, which made them cousins a second time.) The girl's father, William Jones sold or gave a plot of land called "Cuckhold's Delight" to Benjamin and Samuel. The brothers lived the rest of their lives on this plot, and their brother, Robert, IV, lived at least part of the time on a plot adjoining.

The births of the children of Samuel and Ann Jones Brashear are registered at St. Barnabas Protestant Episcopal Church in Queen Anne's Parish, Prince George's County, Maryland. Also in the Will of Samuel Brashear in Queen Anne's Parish Records, Maryland. Historical Society, Baltimore; and Maryland Historical Magazine, v. 23, page 113.
The children of Samuel and Ann Jones Brashear were:
1. William Jones Brashear, born Jan. 28, 1694/5.
2. Samuel Brashear, Jr., born Feb. 12, 1696/7 and died 1773. He married his double first cousin, Elizabeth Brashear, daughter of Benjamin Brashear, Sr..
3. Elizabeth Brashear, born July 27, 1699 and married John Turner, Sr.
4. John Brashear, Sr., born SAep. 21, 1702 and married Ruth Walker.
5. Robert C. (Cager?) Brashear, born Feb. 10, 1704/5 and married Charity Dowell.
6. Ann Brashear, born May 15, 1709 and married Thomas Brown.
7. William Brashear, "Junior", born 1709/10 and married Pricilla Prather.

PHOEBE'S NICKS ANCESTRY
The Nicks family stems from a William Nicks in Northamptonshire, England. Some of the family lived in New Kent Co, VA, and Talbot Co, MD, before moving to present day Guilford Co, NC.

Copied from: A Brashears Family History by Charles Brashear page 17

Robert Samuel Brashears (RSB) married, about 1754, surely in Orange Co, NC, though we have found no records, Phoebe Nicks, b. 8 June 1738, probably in Talbot County, Maryland. She died in Guilford Co, NC in Dec 1811 and was buried there, but her body was exhumed and moved to Roane County TN in 1812, where she was read. In the Brashears-Kries Cemetery, behind the RSB homestead. She was the d/o John Nicks and Margaret Edwards.

PHOEBE'S POST–HUMOUS TRAVEL
Phoebe (Nicks) Brashears died Dec 1811 and was buried in Guilford Co, NC, probably while on a visit to her brothers and sisters. Robert Samuel Brashears hired a grandson, Robert Samuel Gilliland, to exhume her remains, transport them to Tennessee, and re-bury her. Old Robert Samuel Brashears was either too sick or too tight to pay up, even though the grandson gave him a bill:
