Two branches of the Brashear(s) family were among these early
immigrants:
1. Benjamin Brashear and all his children except Marsham (who
stayed in Louisville, KY) and 2. Jesse Brashears and all of his
children. In both cases, one or more members of the family
married into the Choctaw tribe and founded large families that
are still traceable today. Other of their brothers and cousins
founded large, non-Indian families."

According to "The Family of Abner Ponder," p vii, Archibald
Burden lived in the Abbeyville District of SC and then in Elbert
Co, GA. There were close ties between the Ponder, Burden, Penn,
and Weems families in SC and GA. Abner Ponder and Benjamin Penn
both married daughterrs of Archibald Burden. One of Abner
Ponder's older daughters married James Burden who may have been
a son of Archibald Burden and another married James William Penn
Weems.
Archibald E. Burden: One of the first known settlers of Elbert
County was Archibald E. Burden. He was born about 1745 in
Amherst County, Virginia. He and Hannah Goad were married about
1770. Archibald E. Burden was a revolutionary war soldier. He is
listed in the journal of the house of delegates, dated 1778. He
is also listed in the Historical Registrar of Virginians in the
Revolution. In 1783, he is listed as the head of the family with
nine white souls in his household in Amherst, VA.
The Burdens are believed to have come to Elbert County between
1785-1790. They settled in that part of Wilkes County, which
later became Elbert County, and more specifically near Bowman,
GA.
Archibald and three of his sons took part in the 1805 land
lottery. Except for "Cuffy" who was apparently unmarried at the
time, each had two draws.
SOURCE: Much of this information was provided by Sheila Kay
Mason Casper of Fairbanks, AK. Other sources include William B.
Burden's Bible; Pioneers of Hart County, Georgia; Family Records
of Charlotte Johnson Brown and Judy Winn; and a booklet
entitled, "The William Burden Family"."

Jordan left no will, but Roger Gibson, James Odom, and James
Harrison requested the court divide Jordan's estate four ways.
George Winchester was appointed one of the commissioners to
divide the estate. Three of those four parts went to Roger
Gibson, James Odom who had married Rhoda Gibson, and James
Harrison who had married Cynthia Gibson.
It is unknown who the fourth part was intended for, but it is
now believed that part probably was for Susan Black's mother.
This means the Gibsons were not half-sisters and brother to
Susan Black. I had thought that perhaps Susan's mother was a
sister to Jordan Gibson, which would explain the close
association of the two families. However, a Black family
researcher and I analyzed the families and have come to the
conclusion that Susan's mother was a daughter of Jordan Gibson,
probably by an earlier marriage. This means that Susan's mother,
rather than Susan, was the half-sister of the three Gibsons -
Roger, Rhoda, and Cynthia."
