Footnotes

Martha may have gone by Patsy, a common nickname for the name Marthat at the time. There are minutes of the Slate Creek Baptist Church in Cocke County, Tennessee, 1812 - 1876, where Thomas Brazendine (also spelled Brazedine), Henry Mills' step-son, is mentioned, along with a Patsy Brazendine in 1819.
1850 US Census, District 13, Jefferson, Tennessee; Roll: M432_885; Page: 448; Image: 578.
This record seems to be the only indication of Thomas's birth year, and the only knowledge that he survived past 1850.
See 1850 US census above
Virginia marriage records indicate that Mrs. Judith Brizendine, widow of Abner, married Henry Mills on 9 July 1804. The Slate Creek Church Minutes discuss an incident (page 8) whereby "Bro. John Brazedine came forward and made confession that he and Thomas Brazendine went to Henry Mills and Mills run off and they moved part of said Mills property and their Mother to his house by the consent of their Mother. And he acknowledges he both sed and done wrong and was sorrow for it and the church forgave him" (recorded on May 15, 1819). On June 19, 1819, Thomas made his church "confession". "Judah" Mills is also listed as a member of the church on page 4.
A Thomas "Brigindine" is listed in the 1830 U.S. Tennessee census in Cocke County. Living close to him are a Clem "Briginden" and John "Brigendine" – pages 252-253, household numbers 297, 324, and 320.
The 1850 US census indicates a birth year around 1791, while the 1870 census indicates a 1793 birth year. See 1870 US Census, District 4, Cocke, Tennessee; Roll: M593_1519; Page: 386; Image: 110
