From the Tattnall County Georgia Loose Papers", both dated 7 Mar 1808 records were found by Kay Dawson regarding Robert Braswell and Bryant Daughtrey:

"BRYANT DAUGHTERY says he was at the Altamaha River and saw ROBERT BRAZEL drinking. Aaron Johnican, Martha Deeze, and others were going over the river and tried to cross a mare that belonged to ROBT. BRAZEL. Brazel forbid Aaron Johnican and Martha Deeze touching the mare or moving her, but nevertheless they went and brought the mare over the river. DAUGHTERY asked Johnican if he should take the saddle off and Martha Deeze said to strip her, which he did. He turned the mare out and has never seen her since." H. Sheridan, J.P.


"Calvin Leonard says sometimes in February two years past at the Altamaha River at White Bluff was asked by Aaron Johnican to help Johnican over the river with a certain mare which mare Johnican told the said Leonard belonged to ROBERT BRAZEL. They went with some others and brought the mare over the river, and Johnican gave the mare into the hands of a young Mrs. DAUGHTERY to take the mare to the house." H. Sheridan, J.P.
