Patriots all, in expression or deed, these colonials--the Brevards, their families, and neighbors--helped to build a new independent nation. It begins with the immigrant French Huguenot John Brevard departing his native country to achieve religious freedom in America. Through five generations, the book informs readers of the family's lands, their neighbors and friends, religion, achievements, and misfortunes. All of John Brevard's children were involved in various ways in the support of the American Revolution, and the life experiences of these individuals are blended with the history around them. The book also gives a glimpse into the events of the people they married - Alexander, Burke, Campbell, Chambers, Crozier, Culbertson, Dale, Davidson, Dirickson, Faris, Fassitt, Harrod, Hudson, Huggins, Ironshire, Jetton, Lincoln, McKnitt, Northcutt, Pearce, Reynolds, Taylor, Wallace, Williams, and others. The events, facts, and genealogies are documented to enable the reader to readily access the sources for further study.
