Robert Brevard was born in Cecil County, Maryland. Robert married Sarah Craig. Robert migrated to Rowan County. He entered upon land at the headwaters of Rocky River. He petitioned the Council of North Carolina for a land warrant of 649 acres on September 29, 1749 and again on March 28, 1751 for another 640 acres. Lord Granville granted him 640 acres on Rocky River in Anson County on March 25, 1752. On January 29, 1755 Granville made a further grant to him of 102 acres, again on Rocky River.
Robert taught school in Rowan County before the Revolution. During the Revolution he served with Captain James Houston's Company of North Carolina Rangers in present day Randolph County, North Carolina. serve in the Southernmilitia at Ramseur's Mill Following the war, he made a claim to the House of Commons and Senate of the State of North Carolina in 1785.
Robert and Sarah lived and died in Iredell County, North Carolina. Robert drew up his will in August, 1797, three years before his death. In his will, he bequeathed tracts of land to his two youngest daughters. Apparently, they were unmarried at the time, so this would have been a dowry for their future use. To his son Robert, he left "my still and Vessels" and "appraisement of a horse lost in the service of the United States".

On an undated, unidentified piece of paper in the possession of Gene Wheeler, an apparent photocopy of a typed list, appears a list of the children of Robert and Sarah Brevard and their dates of birth and/or death. At the bottom of the list is typed: "(This is an exact copy of the entries in the Brevard bible in the possession of Mrs. Alberta Malugen, Poplar Bluff, Mo.)" The origin of this photocopy is unknown. In the very bottom left corner, the number "387" is handwritten, much like a page number. It reads as follows. Note that Sarah's surname is given as "Crain".
While researching the name "Alberta Malugen" with "Poplar Bluff" and "Brevard", I found additional material that is presented as having been an extension of the above information. It states "On a separate sheet, and in different handwriting, as follows:" This is a list of marriages of the children of Robert and Sarah, and repeats the birth/death information referred to above. Note, however, that this list gives Sarah's surname as "Craig". [This source was found 14 Jan 2012 at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hatcher/Brevard.htm]

BIOGRAPHY: ROBERT BREVARD, third son & fourth child of John Brevard, Sr. & Katherine Mcknitt Brevard, was born "near the Head of Elk [River]" in Cecil County, Maryland, on 10 January 1718. Robert married Sarah Craig on 16 April 1744. This marriage is thought to have taken place in Maryland, but may have occured in Anson County, North Carolina, where Robert appears in early colonial records.
Robert Brevard migrated to Rowan County, N.C., with his brothers, John and Zebulon, and his sister Elizabeth circa 1745. Robert entered upon land at the headwaters pf Rocky River, located between lands owned by James and John Templeton, and George and Samuel Davidson. On 29 Sept 1749 he petitioned the Council of North Carolina for a warrant of land -640 acres. He made a second petition for a grant of patent on 640 acres in Anson, Rowan County on 28 Mar 1751. [Colonial Records for NC, Vol. IV, pp. 951, 959; NC Land Grants, Vol. XI, pp. 4-5; II, p. 10; X, p. 310]
Lord Granville granted to Robert Brevard of Anson, [Rowan Co] NC, 640 acres on Rocky River in that county on 25 Mar 1752. On 29 Jan 1755 Granville made a further grant to Robert Brevard of Rowan Co, NC of 102 acres on Rocky River. [Rowan Co, Deed Books III. pp. 156-159; IV, pp. 8857-858] Robert Brevard along with James Alexander, taught school in Rowan County before the Revolution. He owned only two slaves in 1768, and only seven in 1979, which would seem to indicate that he did not farm extensively, [Carolina Cradle-Robert W. Ramsey. University of NC Press, Chapel Hill, NC., 1964, pp. 177, 190] Following the Revolution Robert Brevard made a claim to the House of Commons and Senate of the State of North Carolina 1785. The nature and out come of this claim were not clear. Perhaps he was applying for a pension or to recover proberty lost during the war.
Robert and Sarah Brevard lived and died in Iredell Co, NC., this county had been formed from Rowan in 1788, and their residence through their time in NC. Whether Anson, Rowan, or Iredell, had likely been the same for more than fifty years. Robert Brevard drew up his will in August 1797, three years before his death on 20 Oct 1800. In his will he bequeathed tracts of land to his two youngest daughters. Apparently they were unmarried at the time, so this would be dowry for their future use. No other daughters were named, and we can assume they had already been provided for at the time of their marriages.
Interestubg bequeaths to his son Robert Brevard were: "My still and Vessels" and "Appraisement of a horse lost in the service of the United States" Robert was to be joint executor of his father's will with Alexander Young. Adam and John Brevard, nephews of Robert Brevard, and James Young were witnesses to Robert's will. Adam and John were sons of John Brevard Jr.
During the Revolution Robert served with Captain James Houston's Company of NC. No Further record of service was found.
While the British destroyed his house for good measure they tried to take his daughter Asenath to get her to reveal the hiding place of her husband Capt. James Houston who had been badly wounded in a previous battle>
Source: Will of Robert Brevard Aug. 1797 Iredell Co, NC.
Notes: Sarah Craig Brevard's will dated 30 Nov 1801 ws written several years before her reputed death in 1817. [American Families-American History Society, Inc., NY Vol. 25, "Brevard" p. 106] Sarah named all her married daughters by thier married names. Household utensils and furniture, clothing and slaves were bequeathed to the daughters. A large Bible was passed down to her son Robert Mcknitt [Brevard?]; Her son Robert and son-in-law John Huggins were appointed executors. Sarah signed her will with an X in the presence of Elihu King, another son-in-law, and A. C. Young.
The Craig family of Sarah Craig Brevard has not been determined. A James Craig lived in Cecil Co, MD in 1790. A Scotch Church of England family of Craiges, settled in Rowan Co, NC, by 1750. When Archibald died in 1758, his wife Mary Craige became administratix of his estate during the minority of their sons. Sons David and James Craige presently owned around 2000 acres of land on the Ydkin River. [History of Rowan County, NC Rev. Jethro Rumple. Reprint 1974 p. 236]
A Captain David Craig got a military grant of 3200 acres of land in Western NC [later Maury Co, TN] for his service in the Rev. War in 1808 his widow and sons settled on theCraig grant in TN. [Let the Drums Roll-Marise P. Lightfoot p. 139] between 1813-1819 Samuel, William, James and David Craig are in the court records of Maury Co, TN. Sarah Craig's relation, if any, to these Craig families is not known.

BIOGRAPHY: ROBERT BREVARD, third son & fourth child of John Brevard, Sr. & Katherine Mcknitt Brevard, was born "near the Head of Elk [River]" in Cecil County, Maryland, on 10 January 1718. Robert married Sarah Craig on 16 April 1744. This marriage is thought to have taken place in Maryland, but may have occured in Anson County, North Carolina, where Robert appears in early colonial records.
Robert Brevard migrated to Rowan County, N.C., with his brothers, John and Zebulon, and his sister Elizabeth circa 1745. Robert entered upon land at the headwaters pf Rocky River, located between lands owned by James and John Templeton, and George and Samuel Davidson. On 29 Sept 1749 he petitioned the Council of North Carolina for a warrant of land -640 acres. He made a second petition for a grant of patent on 640 acres in Anson, Rowan County on 28 Mar 1751. [Colonial Records for NC, Vol. IV, pp. 951, 959; NC Land Grants, Vol. XI, pp. 4-5; II, p. 10; X, p. 310]
Lord Granville granted to Robert Brevard of Anson, [Rowan Co] NC, 640 acres on Rocky River in that county on 25 Mar 1752. On 29 Jan 1755 Granville made a further grant to Robert Brevard of Rowan Co, NC of 102 acres on Rocky River. [Rowan Co, Deed Books III. pp. 156-159; IV, pp. 8857-858] Robert Brevard along with James Alexander, taught school in Rowan County before the Revolution. He owned only two slaves in 1768, and only seven in 1979, which would seem to indicate that he did not farm extensively, [Carolina Cradle-Robert W. Ramsey. University of NC Press, Chapel Hill, NC., 1964, pp. 177, 190] Following the Revolution Robert Brevard made a claim to the House of Commons and Senate of the State of North Carolina 1785. The nature and out come of this claim were not clear. Perhaps he was applying for a pension or to recover proberty lost during the war.
Robert and Sarah Brevard lived and died in Iredell Co, NC., this county had been formed from Rowan in 1788, and their residence through their time in NC. Whether Anson, Rowan, or Iredell, had likely been the same for more than fifty years. Robert Brevard drew up his will in August 1797, three years before his death on 20 Oct 1800. In his will he bequeathed tracts of land to his two youngest daughters. Apparently they were unmarried at the time, so this would be dowry for their future use. No other daughters were named, and we can assume they had already been provided for at the time of their marriages.
Interestubg bequeaths to his son Robert Brevard were: "My still and Vessels" and "Appraisement of a horse lost in the service of the United States" Robert was to be joint executor of his father's will with Alexander Young. Adam and John Brevard, nephews of Robert Brevard, and James Young were witnesses to Robert's will. Adam and John were sons of John Brevard Jr.
During the Revolution Robert served with Captain James Houston's Company of NC. No Further record of service was found.
While the British destroyed his house for good measure they tried to take his daughter Asenath to get her to reveal the hiding place of her husband Capt. James Houston who had been badly wounded in a previous battle>

Notes: Sarah Craig Brevard's will dated 30 Nov 1801 ws written several years before her reputed death in 1817. [American Families-American History Society, Inc., NY Vol. 25, "Brevard" p. 106] Sarah named all her married daughters by thier married names. Household utensils and furniture, clothing and slaves were bequeathed to the daughters. A large Bible was passed down to her son Robert Mcknitt [Brevard?]; Her son Robert and son-in-law John Huggins were appointed executors. Sarah signed her will with an X in the presence of Elihu King, another son-in-law, and A. C. Young.
The Craig family of Sarah Craig Brevard has not been determined. A James Craig lived in Cecil Co, MD in 1790. A Scotch Church of England family of Craiges, settled in Rowan Co, NC, by 1750. When Archibald died in 1758, his wife Mary Craige became administratix of his estate during the minority of their sons. Sons David and James Craige presently owned around 2000 acres of land on the Ydkin River. [History of Rowan County, NC Rev. Jethro Rumple. Reprint 1974 p. 236]
A Captain David Craig got a military grant of 3200 acres of land in Western NC [later Maury Co, TN] for his service in the Rev. War in 1808 his widow and sons settled on theCraig grant in TN. [Let the Drums Roll-Marise P. Lightfoot p. 139] between 1813-1819 Samuel, William, James and David Craig are in the court records of Maury Co, TN. Sarah Craig's relation, if any, to these Craig families is not known.

BIOGRAPHY: ROBERT BREVARD, third son & fourth child of John Brevard, Sr. & Katherine Mcknitt Brevard, was born "near the Head of Elk [River]" in Cecil County, Maryland, on 10 January 1718. Robert married Sarah Craig on 16 April 1744. This marriage is thought to have taken place in Maryland, but may have occured in Anson County, North Carolina, where Robert appears in early colonial records.
Robert Brevard migrated to Rowan County, N.C., with his brothers, John and Zebulon, and his sister Elizabeth circa 1745. Robert entered upon land at the headwaters pf Rocky River, located between lands owned by James and John Templeton, and George and Samuel Davidson. On 29 Sept 1749 he petitioned the Council of North Carolina for a warrant of land -640 acres. He made a second petition for a grant of patent on 640 acres in Anson, Rowan County on 28 Mar 1751. [Colonial Records for NC, Vol. IV, pp. 951, 959; NC Land Grants, Vol. XI, pp. 4-5; II, p. 10; X, p. 310]
Lord Granville granted to Robert Brevard of Anson, [Rowan Co] NC, 640 acres on Rocky River in that county on 25 Mar 1752. On 29 Jan 1755 Granville made a further grant to Robert Brevard of Rowan Co, NC of 102 acres on Rocky River. [Rowan Co, Deed Books III. pp. 156-159; IV, pp. 8857-858] Robert Brevard along with James Alexander, taught school in Rowan County before the Revolution. He owned only two slaves in 1768, and only seven in 1979, which would seem to indicate that he did not farm extensively, [Carolina Cradle-Robert W. Ramsey. University of NC Press, Chapel Hill, NC., 1964, pp. 177, 190] Following the Revolution Robert Brevard made a claim to the House of Commons and Senate of the State of North Carolina 1785. The nature and out come of this claim were not clear. Perhaps he was applying for a pension or to recover proberty lost during the war.
Robert and Sarah Brevard lived and died in Iredell Co, NC., this county had been formed from Rowan in 1788, and their residence through their time in NC. Whether Anson, Rowan, or Iredell, had likely been the same for more than fifty years. Robert Brevard drew up his will in August 1797, three years before his death on 20 Oct 1800. In his will he bequeathed tracts of land to his two youngest daughters. Apparently they were unmarried at the time, so this would be dowry for their future use. No other daughters were named, and we can assume they had already been provided for at the time of their marriages.
Interestubg bequeaths to his son Robert Brevard were: "My still and Vessels" and "Appraisement of a horse lost in the service of the United States" Robert was to be joint executor of his father's will with Alexander Young. Adam and John Brevard, nephews of Robert Brevard, and James Young were witnesses to Robert's will. Adam and John were sons of John Brevard Jr.
During the Revolution Robert served with Captain James Houston's Company of NC. No Further record of service was found.
While the British destroyed his house for good measure they tried to take his daughter Asenath to get her to reveal the hiding place of her husband Capt. James Houston who had been badly wounded in a previous battle>
Source: Will of Robert Brevard Aug. 1797 Iredell Co, NC.
Notes: Sarah Craig Brevard's will dated 30 Nov 1801 ws written several years before her reputed death in 1817. [American Families-American History Society, Inc., NY Vol. 25, "Brevard" p. 106] Sarah named all her married daughters by thier married names. Household utensils and furniture, clothing and slaves were bequeathed to the daughters. A large Bible was passed down to her son Robert Mcknitt [Brevard?]; Her son Robert and son-in-law John Huggins were appointed executors. Sarah signed her will with an X in the presence of Elihu King, another son-in-law, and A. C. Young.
The Craig family of Sarah Craig Brevard has not been determined. A James Craig lived in Cecil Co, MD in 1790. A Scotch Church of England family of Craiges, settled in Rowan Co, NC, by 1750. When Archibald died in 1758, his wife Mary Craige became administratix of his estate during the minority of their sons. Sons David and James Craige presently owned around 2000 acres of land on the Ydkin River. [History of Rowan County, NC Rev. Jethro Rumple. Reprint 1974 p. 236]
A Captain David Craig got a military grant of 3200 acres of land in Western NC [later Maury Co, TN] for his service in the Rev. War in 1808 his widow and sons settled on theCraig grant in TN. [Let the Drums Roll-Marise P. Lightfoot p. 139] between 1813-1819 Samuel, William, James and David Craig are in the court records of Maury Co, TN. Sarah Craig's relation, if any, to these Craig families is not known.
