NOTES:
Henderson Cemetery was moved in 1973 because of the building of Truman Dam.  Henry & Atsey were first buried there, but moved to Avery Cemetery.
Susannah, Matthew & Jessie we think are in unmarked graves in
Spring Branch Cemetery.  Wm. Carroll Green Breshears & wife were moved to Concord Cemetery near Fristoe, Mo. 

Wm Carroll was not the son of Henry & Atsey, although possibly a relative. His parents are unknown at
this time.  The story has it that his parents had died and at the age of 13, he came to Missouri with Henry & Atsey and lived with them and took the Breshears name.
