Notes
a. Note:   ion to Robert's father is uncertain and subject to dispute Robert Brasseur, a French Hugenot , was born in Avignon and his wife's name was Florence. He is reported to have given the land on which the Capitol of Maryland was built. The Brasseur family were French Huguenots, dissidents against the Catholic Church, searching for freedom from religious persecution by immigration to Holland, England, then America before 1635. They settled in Calvert Co, Maryland. The surname has been spelled Brasher, Brashear(s), Boshears, Brashier, Brasier, Brazier, Basher, Bashier and even Bradshaw. The original is thought to have come from the French word "Bras" meaning arm (a part of the body) and "Seuir" meaning Lord or Knight. Most Brashers and variants of the name come from Benois' sons Robert, Benjamin and John, however, there appears to be another branch that entered the American Colonies through the New England area. There are generally two versions of the background of Benois Brasseur before coming to America. The Brasseur Family history has been most thoroughly researched in recent times and published by Charles Brashear in two volumes titled A Brashear(s) Family History. The origin and background of earlier versions of the origin of Benois Brasseur is thorougly discussed in the new work as "The deBrassier NONSENSE". Individuals from the deBrassier family of Carpentras, France are listed here, but not linked to Benois Brasseur."
