Michael,

It is possible that your direct line is through Elisha Brake and Elizabeth Reasons/Reasoner. Elisha was born in Edgecombe Co. NC abt. 1793, died in Hunt Co., Texas in 1860. Elisha and Elizabeth had ten children, six boys and four girls. Elisha was the son of John (1774) and Judey, John was the son of Benjamin (1750) and Pricilla, Benjamin was the son of Jacob (1728) and ? I have the sons of Elisha as;
1. John (1827) in Robertson Co., TN
2. George W. (1832) in Robertson Co., TN
3. Levy H. (1836) in Kentucky
4. Cyrus A. (1847) in Hunt Co., Texas
5. Hugh Andrew (1850) in Hunt Co., Texas
6. William G. (1852) in Hunt Co., Texas

I have very little information on Elisha's children . Cyrus had 7 sons and 3 daughters by two wives. He moved to Oklahoma where he died as well as several of his children. Possibly this info will help you in your search efforts. My guess is you may descend from one of Elisha's sons.
