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.
