I have a certain amount of information on the descendent's of John and Elizabeth Breckenridge, Scottish background, who emigrated from Ireland to South Carolina. John died before 2 March, 1796. Family records indicates he was killed by a falling tree. They had three sons, Robert (b. 28 Sept, 1792), James (b. 1786) and David (b. 1788). Eventually all three settled in Jackson County, Arkansas.
I have the records of their descendent's if anyone needs them.
Just let me know.
(follow ups say James married a Nancy had a daughter Sarah who married Bryant W. Jones born in 1822, died 1902.
