◦CENSUS: Luke Breeze is listed in both the 1810 and 1820 Census of Virginia as being over 45 years of age. In the 1810 census, there are no males other than himself, but there are 2 free white females age 16-26 living with him and one female age 45 and over. By 1820, the two younger women have left the home, leaving he and his wife as the only residents of their home.
Law Suit: In Frederick Co VA Chancery Records Index # 1832-109 CSC. Daniel Oliver vs. Heir(s) of Luke Breeze. LVA Microfilm Reel # 342, Local Reel # 373 Image #239 states (and not much else!) Joshua Breeze, Hannah Breeze and the other children or heirs of Luke Breeze (deceased). The only other pg. in these documents states: Joshua Breeze and Hannah Breeze not inhabitants of this Commonwealth.
◦(Research): Find parents of Luke in County Down, Ireland.
Luke was supposedly born in Down. There is a County Down and within the county, there is a Parish Down. Breeze is certainly a name from County Down, and some of the references I found show most of the Breeze names from the parish of Killyleagh, followed by the parish of Saintfield, and then the parishes of Killinchy and Comber.
