Subject: Re: [INMARTIN] Treacy & Margaret BRAMBLE
John,
I have this on the twins, Margaret Caroline Bramble and Theresa 'Treacy'
Bramble, b. 1855, most likely Martin Co, IN, to Thomas E. and Theresa Ann
"Treacy" Avery. Margaret married George Francis Padgett and I show 6
children with names and 3 without names. I have no other information on
Theresa Bramble.
These are in notes I have on Thomas E. Bramble:
Moved to Indiana about 1837; farmer and blacksmith; hobby was playing
the violin; known in community as Uncle Tom Bramble. He always played
violin and sang folk songs on the last day of school.
Oldest fiddler in Martin Co history; his folk songs were carried down
through the generations of his family.
They lived in a long ranch style log cabin. His father, Eleven 'Levin'
Bramble's
millwright workshop was set up at Thomas E. Bramble's home. Sarah
Bramble Jones and her children lived in the workshop while Thomas E.
Jones and James Hilliary Jones were in Civil War.
Thomas E. Bramble was a member of the St. Mary's congregation in 1848.

In 1875, the members of St. Joseph's Church, Bramble, IN decided to
erect a new church and the site selected was at the Bramble Crossroads.
On May 15, 1875, Thomas E. and Theresa Ann Bramble formerly of KY,
transferred to the bishop one and one quarter acres for $30.00 for the
church. The first mission given in new church was on Nov 18, 1877, as
stated in the Bicentennial History of 1853-1953.

Hi Shirl & John,
Uncle Tom Bramble was the son of Leven Bramble and
Mary Harriett Aubrey(Avery) Uncle Tom married Theresa Ann Williams, not
Avery, in Martin Co. 10-2-1836. I don't know who put her name as Avery, but
it is
wrong.
Later,
Nancy B.
