According to the book "We and Others" by Pearl Wilson and Margaret Washer, "John N. Brazelton Sr. was born about 1700 in France, probably at Gascony near Agin and Nerve. The family fled, as Huguenots, from France during the religious wars and took refuge in Wales. Later John fled from Wales to this country. In Wales, John was a shipbuilder. On the way to America the food supply aboard the ship ran out and many died. Those remaining decided to cast lots to determine which one of their number be taken for food. The lot fell on John. The Quaker lad was so well liked that they decided to wait until morning, but fortunately by then land was in sight. It was lucky for an Irish lass with whom he had fallen in love. John married Matilda "Bridget" Daffer or Crawford shortly after their arrival. Tradition says they were married in Baltimore. Bridget was most likely from Ireland and again tradition has it that she came from a wealthy family.
