Brightwell{possibly James} (d. date unknown)
Notes for Brightwell{possibly James}:
Have not determined who the father of Leonard is. I am pretty sure his mother's name is Sally. On the 1840 census, Sally Brightwell, age 70to 80, is living with a female relative, age 15 to 20. She is living very close to Leonard's widow and Leonard's young daughter, Millie Ann, is not living at home and she would be between 15 and 20.I think Millie was taking care of her Grandmother. Then again she could be a great Aunt?1840, Miegs county, Tennessee- Roll 528, page 233A
