Surnames: Braswell, Parramore, Willcox, Harris, Coffee

I have a Frances Braswell (b. 1813 GA d. 1870 Thomas Co., GA) who married Adam Brinson Parramore (b. 1808 Telfair Co., GA) d. 1868 Thomas Co., GA). My Harris family was living in this S-SW GA/N FL area from the 1830s to the 1920s.

I have no information on Frances other than the marriage. Adam Brinson Parramore was the s/o John and Nancy Brinson Parramore who were both b. in Onslow Co., NC. Adam's elder siblings include Redden Wallace Parramore, Clerk of Telfair County Court and later a Madison Co., FL county commissioner; and Jane Elizabeth, the first wife of Brig. Genl. Mark Lea Willcox (his 2nd wife was Sara Ann Elizabeth Coffee, d/o Maj. Genl. John Coffee).
