11. William FIGURES was born on March 24, 1736 in Surry County, VA. He appeared on the census in 1779 in Hertford County, NC. He died in 1792 in Hertford County, NC. I have looked without sucess for a Figuars in SC with no luck. I assume that this is a good spelling, since William G was literate. However, in the 1790 census of Edgecombe County, Halifax District, there are 2 Figures
Mattw Figure with 2 males 16 and up, 8 females
Batt Figures with 1 male 16 and up, 3 males under 16, 3 females, and 4 ither free people.
This is my best guess as to who my line is.

23 i. Richard FIGURES was born between 1764 and 1774 in Edgecombe County, Halifax District, NC. He appeared on the census in 1800 in Hertford County, NC. He os married with children, living very close to mother. He appears to have been married and left issue but there are no names.

In all available census, she also lists her birthplace as South Carolina. However, there are no Figuars or Figures in the 1790 or 1800 census of South Carolina. There are however 2 in 1the 1790 North Carolina Census in the same county that I believe that William lived during the 1790's. She appeared on the census in 1820 in Kershaw County, SC.

She was married to William Glafstraughn BRASINGTON (son of BRASINGTON and GLAFSTRAUGHN) on February 17, 1802 in South Carolina. Nancy listed South Carolina as her birth place, as did William Figuars. It is reasonable to presume they were married in South Carolina. William Glafstraughn BRASINGTON was born on July 17, 1776 in Ireland. William Figuars Brasington's clearly lists the birthplace of his father as Ireland. He appeared on the census in 1800 in Northampton County, NC. The family listed 1 male age 26 to 45, 1 male age 16 to 26, and 1 boy under 16. He was a Saddler between 1809 and 1815 in Camden, Kershaw County, SC.

Wm Brasington, 1 shop, 139 saddles, 20 harnesses. The average price of a saddle was $16, of a harness $20. He appeared on the census in 1810 in Kershaw County, SC. Living in Camden, SC with a household of eight free white persons:

In the 1820 and 1830 Census. there are indications of a 4th son. Since we know that W F, James, and Oliver were still with their mother, he is possibly the 4th.
