James Haislip and Abigail Brawner - Need Reference
I hope someone can help me with this one.
I have been doing some work on James Haislip, son of Henry Haislip (b abt 1706) and Susannah Burgess of Charles County, MD. I have been told by various researchers that the Haislip books which cover this family have James married to Abigail Brawner abt 1768 probably in Prince George's or Charles County and then moving to Montgomery County MD and then to Fairfax County VA.
It seems to be accepted that Abigail was the daughter of Henry Brawner and Elizabeth Barton. I would really like a solid reference for this assumption. There is no mention of Abigail as a child of Elizabeth Barton in any of the many land deeds she wrote before her death where both her Brawner and Nalley sons were certainly named.
Certainly, Abigail's tombstone says she was the daughter of H and E B Brawner. This together with the timeframe would seem to indicate that the above assumption was correct. However the tombstone does only have initials and Henry Brawner was a name which appeared in every Brawner family at that time.
Really hanging out for a reply. This is stalling my writing process and is really bugging me!!!
