Births With Brake Surname
Upshur County, West Virginia
1853 - 1879

The following roster of Brake births in Upshur County, WV, between 1853 and 1879 was extracted from a much larger roster at a web site (http://www.geocities.com:0080/Hollywood/Theater/9005/upshurbirth.txt) of all births in Upshur County during that period. Using Nancy Jackson and Linda Brake-Meyers' "Colonel Edward Jackson, 1759 - 1828, Revolutionary Soldier" and Cutright's "History of Upshur County" as reference materials, Perry "Buzz" Brake corrected some spelling errors, completed names of some fathers, and added known maiden names of some mothers. The entries were then sorted first by father, then by mother, and finally by birth date. The result plainly shows the progression of Brake families in Upshur County during the mid-1800s to late-1800s.
