The Guilford County Brashear Colony In the late 1740's or early 1750's, a group of Samuel Brashear, Sr.'s sons from Maryland, Robert C. Brashear, Basil Brashear, and Otho Brashear, and a number of their grown sons formed a colony in Orange and Rowan Counties, North Carolina. Several of them received Granville land grants in an area late included in Guilford County. Maryland had become so overpopulated and the land so fragmented that it was hard to make a living there. Robert C. and Basil Brashear, as well as some of their brothers, had suffered financial reverses in the early 1740's and lost some or all of their land. Robert and Basil had both spent some time in jail for debt. So they moved in search of new land, more opportunities for their families, a better life. Robert C. Brashear and Charity Dowell Robert C. (Cager?) Brashear, the fifth Brashear named Robert, son of Samuel Brashear, Sr., the Maryland Carpenter, and Ann Jones, was born 19 Feb 1704/5 in Queen Annes Parish, Prince George's County, Maryland, and live the first years of his adult life at "Brashear's Meadows", a 200 acre parcel of land on a creek called Beaver Dam, a branch of the eastern branch of the Potomac River. His home was about 3 or 4 miles from Bladenburg, today a suburb of Washington, DC. In 1742, after financial difficulties, he migrated to Truro Parish, Fairfax Co, Virginia, then about 1746-50, to the wilds of North Carolina, where he lived most of his adult life in Orange, Guilford, and Rockingham Counties. He died at his home in Rocky Springs, in present-day Rockingham County, North Carolina, in July 1786. In the records, his surname appears about equally with and without the "s".
