David,
I think we may have emailed back and forth a few years ago about Luke Breese.I was just starting to look for info at that time and did not have much.
My Luke Breese was born in VA in 1809.We do not know which county in VA.It is interesting that the census information that I found showed Luke Breeze in VA in 1810.No listing of a child though.From there he ended up in Morgan County Ohio.He married Mary A. Hopkins (she went by Polly) on October 28, 1830 in Morgan Co. She was born in PA.I found a record of their marriage on the Morman Family History site and they spelled his name BREEZE.All other documents show the name as being spelled BREESE.
Just recently a cousin of mine found an old box full of documents in his Mother's closet.In it was a copy of the Last Will & Testament of Luke Breese (Circa 1870). We were shocked and delighted to find it.
If you would like to see a scanned copy of it along with other Breese info, you can go to my webpage and take a look.Just click on the link or copy and paste the address into your browser.
