General Notes: Willis married his mixed slave, named Mary Ann and had a son named Daniel Allen, born in 1812 in Mississippi When Willis died, he left everything to Daniel. Apparently he was well off. But since Daniel's mother was mixed, and a slave, Willis's brother and sister took over after his death, and threw him off the property, and said that slaves weren't allowed to own property in Mississippi. He went to Arkansas and the spelling of the last name was changed to Breazile in the census. I don't know if this was because he couldn't spell good, or because he wanted to be distanced from that family. He married a woman named Susanna Robinett.

General Notes: If my records are correct, this family lived in Dallas County, AL because the 1830 U.S. Census lists a family with Akin Breazeale as head of household, age about 40 years, his wife Nancy, age about 35, 2 males (10 years old but under 15), 2 females under 5 years, and 1 female (5 years old but under 10).

This will also listed the children of Susannah (Susan) McMillan Breazeale, wife of John Blocker Breazeale, Family No. 14, as heirs also. If this information is all correct, this family moved back to Belton, S.C. because there is an Akin Breazeale buried in the Breazeale Family Cemetery near Belton, S.C.
Then in 1850, the estate of Nancy E. Breazeale was probated and listed her children as heirs -- Newton Breazeale, Abner M. Breazeale, Haskey Breazeale, wife of John G. Dabney, Elizabeth S. Breazeale, Melina Rogers Breazeale, James K. Breazeale, and Margeret A. (M.?) Breazeale.
