Individual Details

Married Caroline Breathed/Breathitt of Missouri.

In one place, the author of the article in History of Western Maryland listed John, son of John W. and his first wife as still being living in 1882.
Later he describes John, second son of John W. Breathed:
He was educated at St. James' College, MD and before the war, farmed with his father. When Gen. Lee invaded Maryland, he joined the Confederate army. He was taken captive and died of typhoid fever while confined at Fort Mifflin. This last obviously wrong because John and wife were found in the 1880 census.

Mary Breathed a native of MO & a daughter of John & Caroline (BREATHITT) BREATHED. Her father served in the Confederate army in Capt. Elijah White's Co., Stonewall Jackson's Brigade, and was captured, being held prisoner of war on Chesapeake Bay. He was the son of Judge John W. BREATHED, who procured an order from Pres. Lincoln for his son's parole, the latter having become broken in health. His brother, Major James BREATHED, was commander of Stuart's Horse, an artillery company, after the death of Major Pelham. Judge John W. BREATHED married Ann McGill WILLIAMS, a descendant of several of the old & honored colonial families of Maryland. His father, Isaac BREATHED, married Kitty LYLES, a daughter of Dr. Richard LYLES, a prominent physician of Maryland. The ancestry is traced still farther back to John BREATHED, who married Jane KELLY & who emigrated from England to the new world in colonial days, settling first in PA & afterward in MD, devoting his attention to farming in both states. John BREATHED was father of Isaac BREATHED (White Co, AR, Web site, Bio of Arthur P. Strother).
