Research Notes

Family Search has an additional daughter: Martha J. Breedlove Hicks. However, the sources have her, at the age of 8, living in another home (the Lambs) and there are no records that clearly establish her connection to John Breedlove. Worth looking into, but not to add just yet.^[6] DOB and place of birth are from death certificate. Date differs from headstone on Find-A-Grave.

most census records identify him as born in South Carolina.

This biography was auto-generated by a GEDCOM import.^[7] It's a rough draft and needs to be edited.
