I know this was posted in 1999, I do hope you are still
searching the Jasper/Mattie Wooden Brackin. Their son
Lonnie is my grandfather. His name is Albert Lonnie and
he married Mamie Gilmore;Gilmer. I know my grandfather had
relatives in Fla. I believe it was Frostproof. I was told
that a nephew had done the family research, however I do
not know who that was. I believe the nephews father's name
was John. I would like to contacted at:

Re: Cornelius Brackin from Ireland

I also have a Cornelius Brackin (1796-1852) from Ireland in my family tree that married Rebecca Jane Brooks (1796-1868). I haven't been able to discover any further information on their parents.

They had a son named John Brackin (1835-1912) who married Sarah Elizabeth Butler -- who had a son Benjamin Brackin (1888-1954) who married Jennie Belle Smith -- who had a daughter (my GG-grandma) Dorthy Mae Brackin 1920-1973.

Please let me know if you have any further information. Thanks.

Hi there,

I happened to run across this post. I'm working on my family tree and have made it up to Cornelius Brackin, Ireland, 1796-1852 (Iowa) as well as his wife Rebecca Jane Brooks and her information but have no information on their parents. Do you happen to know this information or could assist? Thanks Jonie.

I have wondered if John Knox had been an uncle or close relative as I too understood that THE GREAT ONE had never married. I'm sure I have mentioned it before, but here goes, I find interesting things regarding the Hayes family by typing in FULL TEXT OF RICHARD HAYES OF LYME, CONNECTICUT. I live about 100 miles from Kinsman, Ohio and recently took pictures in the Hayes Cemetery. Some are getting difficult to read. Good hearing from you. Pat

Re: DAVID BRACKIN

harrietdarling — 2010-10-10 22:53:08Z

Thanks for the quote from the letter, Pat. I feel that I've seen this before but didn't have it in my records. Probably saw it written by YOU! Interesting, however, that all my research has shown that John Knox was never married & had no children. What have you found? Do you think our ancestress was consumed with wishful thinking?

Harriet

Re: DAVID BRACKIN

Patwike — 2010-09-21 14:11:21Z

I will quote from a letter written by Clarissa Statira Brackin, daughter of David and Clarissa Hayes Brackin, dated August1907. This will clear up the fact that the Brackins were from Scotland, and although living in Ireland , claimed to be only Scottish. "No a word on the King-Brackin subject. You doubtless know that Grandma's maiden name was Jane Knox. Sister Jinnie was named Jane Knox for her, and as Grandma claimed to have descended from John Knox she used to take Jinnie on her lap, when she was a child, and say to her, 'Jane did you know that you are descended from a great man, John Knox?' You know she was a widow King when she was married to Grandpa Brackin, and had I think, five children. They were your Great-grandfather Robert, Then John, William, James and Mary, who married James Nichol. Grandma, like so many in the North of Ireland, claimed to be Scotch, and she strongly resented being called Irish. When she first came to this country one of her King sons said, 'Mother, you must not be offended if they call you Irish.' 'Sure' she said, 'they canna call me Irish.' Another of her strong characteristics was her hatred of the Papists, as she called the Catholics.
End of Quote. My question is, where is she buried? There is a headstone for John Brackin along with children of David and Clarissa. I inquired, asking people who maintain the cemetery and they said all records of burials to the left of the church were in someone's greenhouse that burned down.

Re: David Brackin born Londonderry 1792

harrietdarling — 2010-09-20 15:13:33Z

OOPS...Meant to write Titus Hayes & Deborah Beckwith were parents of Richard Hayes WHO MARRIED Mary Lane. Their daughter was Clarissa Hayes, wife of David Brackin. Hope I cleared this up.

Re: David Brackin born Londonderry 1792

harrietdarling — 2010-09-20 14:25:12Z

Hi Pat...

I have that Titus Hayes & Deborah Beckwith were the parents of Richard Hayes & Mary Lane, whose daughter Clarissa Hayes married David Brackin.

Is that what you have?

Harriet

Re: David Brackin born Londonderry 1792

Patwike — 2010-09-20 13:46:46Z

Those looking to find if Silas Brackin was married to Mary Belle Gregory the answer is yes. Find it under FULL TEXT OF DESCENDANTS OF RICHARD HAYES OF LYME, CONNECTICUT, SIXTH GENERATION, #275. A correction, Clarissa Hayes Brackin's parents were Richard Hayes and Mary Lane. Her parents were not Titus Hayes and Deborah Bechwith.

Wow, hello cousin. Yes the Brackin Honey Island (really in Thicket at the Votaw volunteer fire department) is held every year on the first Sunday in June. I was busy this year and could not make it.

BTW, my webpage (which i almost never update) is brackin.net. My personal e-mail address are edbrackin@gmail.com and edward@brackin.net.

I will e-mail more info later.

Nice to hear from a cousin.

You state that a Brackin reunion was held in Honey Island on June 1, 2008.

Are there any more now, in 2010 or 2011. I would like to go to one if there is any more. My mother was Viola Blanche Brackin, born in Kountze in 1894. I feel sure that I am kin to a ton of Brackins in Hardin County.

mframe147 — 2010-08-07 20:00:33Z

Cousin Harriet,

We are definately related. It's amazing how little spelling errors creep in and make life difficult. I think it actually is Phillips Beckwith with and s who is Deborah's father. I was the victim of a mispelling of Brackin as Bracken by another researcher which obscured the Hayes connection. Once I stumbled on David Brackin married to Clarissa Hayes I saw the light.

David is my 3rd Great-Grandfather so I calculate we are
4th cousins or so.

cousin Matthew

Re: DAVID BRACKIN

harrietdarling — 2010-08-07 19:44:42Z

Cousin MATTHEW.....Sorry about calling you Michael. Thanks for the Beckwith info. Small world story: A little over ten years ago a really good friend insisted that we both take a genealogy class at the college. Though I had been collecting bits of info through all the years & had a real interest in family, I had never moved forward with it, because I had no idea how to begin the adventure. We took several classes together and about four years ago both found the name of BECKWITH in our ancestry but couldn't make the connection. When I was at the Connecticut Historical Society Library two years ago, I found it! What a thrill to break through those brick walls, huh? She & I...best friends for over 30 years....are 6th cousins through Matthew whose son Philip was the father of Deborah. (At least that's what I've found and hope you agree with it.)

Now that I've shared this, I'm guessing that perhaps you & I are also related. What an interesting world!!!

Harriet

Good morning, Michael...

Following are my notes on David and his family. Hope this will help fill in some blanks......Harriet

"David Brackin was of Scotch Irish descent & of the Covenanter faith in Ireland. Brackins became Presbyterians in America." written by Carrie Mary Davis Potter, ggranddaughter of David, sister to my father, Joe W. Davis III, & aunt to researcher.

From Historical Collections of Mahoning Valley, Ohio p. 299

"This year (1805) there were thirty families in the township, namely: Chester Lewis, Wm. Scott, George Matthews, Uriel Driggs, Paul Rice, Wm. Matthews, Jacob Ford, Walter Davis, John Little, Wm. Knox,(*) Joseph M'Michael, John Wade, George Gordon Dement and brother, John Neil, Robert Neil,(*) Robert Henry, James Hill, Peter Yetmen, Martin Tidd, Capt. David Randall, Ebenezer Reeve; Thomas Gillis, boarding his brothers, John and William, who commenced building a saw-mill and grist-mill on Stratton Creek, soon after they came; Stephen Splitstone, Capt. William Westby and three sons, James,(*) John,(*) and Ebenezer; Wm. Christy, Andrew Christy,(*) James M'Connel, John Brekin and sons, David(*) and Ezekiel;(*) Thomas Potter, Leonard Blackburn, Samuel Tidd, John Kinsman, Isaac, John, and Betsey Mathews, Joshua Budwell; Charles and Zopher Case were citizens of the town in the early part of the year, but probably removed to Williamsfield in the Fall; David(*) and Elam Lindsley, carpenters, on the Brocket Farm; Michael Mathews on the Bennet Farm, Alexander Clark.
(*) Single. "
Following are excerpts from the Historical Collections of Mahoning Valley, Ohio: Page 341

"BRACKIN AND KING.--The ancestors of John Brackin were of Scotch descent. James Brackin, his father, was from Glasgow, Scotland. John Brackin lived in Ireland, and married Mrs. Jane King, who at the time of their marriage had two sons, James and Robert. After her second marriage she had two other sons, Ezekiel and David. John Brackin and family left Londonderry, Ireland, May 22, 1803, and in about four weeks landed at Wilmington, Delaware, and came to Strabane, Washington County, Penn. David, a boy of sixteen, still remained in Ireland attending school. Robert King came first to Kinsman. In 1804, the next year after coming to America, the family came to Kinsman. Two years afterward, David left Londonderry, July 17, 1805, and reached Newcastle, Delaware,September 18th, thence to Strabane, Washington County, Penn. When John Brackin went to Washington County for his son David, stopping in Pittsburg, he went into a shoe shop for a pair of shoes. Mr. Riddle, the proprietor, asked him, "How long since you came from the holy sod?" He replied, "How do you know I came from there?" Mr. Riddle answered, "O! the potato blossoms are not out of your cheeks yet." Conversing together they found they had been old schoolmates in Ireland."

"David Brackin emigrated from Ireland, 1805 and came from Washington County, Pennsylvania to Kinsman, Ohio in 1806."

History of the War of 1812, as given mainly by Captain Jedediah Burnham, captain of the Kinsman Company stated that" Ezekiel and David Brackin served for a time as Kinsman Company officers but were dismissed because not naturalized."

"...the third school house in the settlement was built by David Brackin in 1828."

"In May 1843, at the school-house on Greenville Road, near Mr. David Brackin the Presbyterian congregations of Shenanco & Greenville, PA were organized into the Associate Presbyterian Church of Kinsman. The session elected at that time consisted of Messrs. David Brackin, Robert Gillis and Robert King. Names of Original members included Walter Davis, Rachel Davis,...Ezekiel Brackin, David Brackin, Clarissa Brackin, Eliza Brackin, Mary Brackin,..."

In the 1870 census David was listed as a farmer, 76 years old. Wife Clarissa was 71.

into english nobility via the beckwiths who are well
documented.

Re: David Brackin born Londonderry 1792

harrietdarling — 2010-08-06 20:53:36Z

Can you hear me laughing? Actually, we're more Scots than Irish. The Brackin name came from the village/town of Brechin in Scotland....right near Sterling where William Wallace fought. The Brechin Castle is still inhabited....not by our relatives unfortunately, though my aunt went to her grave convinced that we had owned that castle.

Re: David Brackin born Londonderry 1792

ronbrackin — 2010-08-06 20:17:45Z

Thanks, Harriet, I totally missed this when I poked around the site. So we're Irish AND Scotch, sort of culturally schizophrenic.

So John Brackin and Jane Knox King Brackin sent their sons to America? Are they the Londonderry connection?

www.ronbrackin.com

Re: David Brackin born Londonderry 1792

harrietdarling — 2010-08-06 17:53:28Z

According to my calculations, Ron, you & I are 4th cousins....going all the way back to John Brackin & Jane Knox King Brackin, parents of David & Ezekiel. David's son Richard and your Dr. Robert Brackin were 1st cousins. Richard's dtr, Hattie (my grandmother) was a 2nd cousin to Burt Brackin. My father, Joseph Wallace Davis was a third cousin to your father, Edward. Hence we end up being FOURTH cousins....IF I haven't skipped someone along the way :-)

Have always wondered why there were so many more BRACKEN family members than BRACKIN. Thanks for the info!

I was in Kinsman about 5 years ago...visited the church and the cemetery. Took pictures, of course. What fun for your son & family to have a homestead to visit.

Re: David Brackin born Londonderry 1792

ronbrackin — 2010-08-06 16:42:46Z

It certainly does. How are you and I related and who are the "closer" cousins? My eldest son, Joshua, and his family live in Findlay, Ohio, and are going to visit the Brackin homestead in Kinsman some time next week. I remember going to see my grant aunt Blanche and my uncles Rast and Charlie when I was a kid. Charlie had been a gold miner, deputy sheriff, friend of Pat Garrett, etc. in his day. He taught me how to spin a rope and told me stories about the old West. I still have his shaving mug with his name in gold leaf, his gold pocket watch and an assayer's pick and hammer. Charlie was my favorite. He lived to be 90. I also found it interesting to learn that Ezekiel's son, James, taught Spencerian penmanship, and it was he who changed the spelling of our surname from "en" to "in."

Re: DAVID BRACKIN

harrietdarling — 2010-08-06 16:27:04Z

How fun is this?!! I have Mary as Clarissa & David's third born...with her birthdate as 07 Dec 1818 & the name of Thomas Frame as her husband as the only note in my file on her. My ancestor is Richard Hayes Brackin, #6 in the family & born 11 Nov 1824 in Kinsman, Ohio . He died of TB (which I've read was rather rampant among the Brackin family) 17 Oct 1869 in Smyrna, Rutherford County, TN.

How nice to find another of David's descendants.

Harriet

Re: DAVID BRACKIN

mframe147 — 2010-08-06 16:05:57Z

Hi cousin Harriet,

I can't find a definate Clarissa Hayes - Rutherford Hayes connection either, but is seems pretty likely to me, giving the tradition in my family, times and places.

I am descended from Mary Brackin, the daughter of Clarissa, who married Thomas Frame in Kinsman in the mid 1800's.

cousin Matthew Frame

Re: David Brackin born Londonderry 1792

harrietdarling — 2010-08-06 15:59:15Z

Hi Cousin Ron...

There are a couple other researchers who are closer cousins of yours as they, too, are descended from Ezekial. This addictive "hobby" continues to validate the small world theory, doesn't it?

Harriet Darling

Re: DAVID BRACKIN

harrietdarling — 2010-08-06 15:51:35Z

Hi, Matthew...

My ancestor, David Brackin (from Londonderry and then Kinsman, Ohio), was married to Clarissa Hayes, daughter of Titus Hays/Hayes & Deborah Beckwith of Connecticut. Titus was the son of Richard Hayes & Patience Mack of Connecticut. I have no record of MY David Hayes being related to Rutherford Hayes.

Harriet

Re: David Brackin born Londonderry 1792

ronbrackin — 2010-08-06 14:50:52Z

To my knowledge, David Brackin emigrated from Ireland in 1805 to Washington County, PA, then to Kinsman, OH in 1806. He and his youngest brother, Ezekiel, served briefly in the War of 1812 but were dismissed because they were not naturalized. They had hoped to become citizens by serving in the army. Ezekiel married Mary Hillis who gave birth to Dr. Robert Brackin, my great grandfather, on November 19, 1823. Robert Brackin married Wealthia Ann Clark on November 21, 1854, and they gave birth to four children, among whom was my grandfather, Barchard Burton "Burt" Brackin, b. February 11, 1872. Burt and Jessie Vie Fell were married on January 31, 1901 and had two sons, one of whom was my father, Edward Clark Brackin, born September 17, 1909. Edward married Friedel Margarete Nederkorn, who had emigrated from Rhineberg, Germany several months before Anschluss in 1938. I am their only child. I married Annette Louise Lovett on February 6, 1983, and we have three sons, one daughter and two grandchildren.

Hi,

Now I am finding info about a David Brackin who seems to be the same person who married Clarissa Hayes. Can anyone demystefy this?

hello, my name is adam brackins. i am in desperate need of help finding my great grandfather. i know my grandfather's name was charlie b. brackins (1913 - 2003). he has said that all he knows of his father is that everyone called him Doche (pronounced dough+shh). doche's fathers name is bill (possibly william). i know that charlie's mother's name was nancy lee hartley (b. approx 1883). and after my granfather's birth she married john ivey to become nancy lee ivey. i have found a census record of her with charlie and a sister named valmer living in the household but no info of the father. to my knowledge they all lived in alabama.
and i dont even know which spelling of our last name was used i've found brackins, brackens, brackin, and bracken.

ANY info would be great. adambrackins@yahoo.com

Are you still looking for info on Isaac and Rachel Stalcup Brackin?
There were several Isaacs in the family and the one I have listed as married to Rachel is the son of John Brackin and his first wife.
This Isaac was probably born in the 1740's in Delaware and died in Sumner Co., TN.
The Brackin/Bracken family seemed very good at repeating given names down through the generations.

Henry Brackin, (son of William who is reported to be the first Brackin in this family to come to America), had a son named Moses and also a son named Isaac.
This Henry would be a brother to the above John, both born in the early 1700's.
This info is from the book "The Brackin family in the southeastern United States".

I am looking for the grandfather of Wyatt Lee Brackin and the father of Andrew Jackson Brackin who was my ancestor. I am told he was from Alabama, owned a plantation, served in the Civil War and lost a leg during the war. I need his name to find his military records for the family. Thelma Mae Brackin, who married James Franklin Gray, was the daughter of Wyatt Lee and the granddaughter of Andrew Jackson Brackin; she was 100 years old when she died yesterday. She was my mother. Anyone who can assist, please help me acquire the name of Andrew Jackson Brackin's father and other ancestorial members. jamesmgray@bigpond.com
