I'm trying to find out information about my father's family, the Brazeels of Blount County, Alabama. My grandfather was Cobb W Brazeel and his father was David Hendrix Brazeel. David Brazeel had a federal land grant in 1891 in Blount County and another Brazeel, James Willis Brazeel, got grants in 1839. Perhaps James was David's father although I have not been able to find any records linking them or any indication of where they came from prior to settling in Alabama. None of my immediate family knows anything about them.
