Marriage - Brecheen

Zadok married Elizabeth Brecheen on September 19, 1822 in Maury county, Tennessee.

A Marriage Bond from Maury Co., Tennessee was issued on September 18, 1822 authorizing Zadoc Winn to marry Elizabeth Brecheen, with Jesse Brecheen standing as bondsman.

  • Oregon Death Certificate, 19 April 1915, Arminda Kay - father Mr. Winn, mother Betty Winn [Betty for Elizabeth?] Bob
  • Oregon Death Certificate, 28 Jan. 1925, Nicy Henretta Herron - father Zedic Winn, mother Elizabeth Berkine

Elizabeth Brecheen born around 1803 in North Carolina or South Carolina, according to the 1850 U. S. Census, Giles Co., TN (Zadoc Winn; wife Elizabeth Winn, age 47], b. SC.)

Parents: Bob
Father - David C. Brecheen
Mother - Mary Seratt/Sarratt/Serrett. Analysis

Consider that Elizabeth named her first son Larkin David (or Davidson) and her first daughter Mary.

Jesse Brecheen was most likely a brother of Elizabeth Brecheen.

Jesse was married 19 Sep. 1822, (The same day as Elizabeth) Maury Co., TN. Zadoc Winn was the bondsman. Jesse lived at one time in Carroll Co., TN, which is where Debra Walker’s ancestor, John Winn, lived. Bob Jesse's m. cert.?

There may have been a movement of related families to Carroll Co.

The photo is assumed to be of Elizabeth (Brecheen) Winn because it was handed down through this family.

Edited by Ancestor-Rescue from a scan of a tintype. The owner is the wife of a Winn descendant--Margie Stone of Eugene, OR. Her deceased husband was a direct descendant of Arminda Elizabeth "Minnie" (Winn, Davis) Kay.

Bob Said: A pre-1825 ownership map of this area shows this land to be a short distance northwest of Lewisburg, TN. An adjacent tract of 85 acres and a nearby tract of 50 acres is owned by Zadoc Wynn. Strangeman Hutchins, the future father-in-law of Zadoc’s sisters, Jane and Winifred, owned land adjacent to the 85 acre and 50 acre tracts. I believe Strangeman Hutchins and his family and Minor H. Winn and some members of his family moved to western IL shortly before 1830.
