Polk, who had received 5,000 acres in a North Carolina land grant in Maury County, was a friend and neighbor of the Davidsons in Iredale Co., NC. Brackett bought several parcels of land adjoining and from Polk's grant and near the land of his father-in-law, James HARDISON. Brackett married Delilah Hardison, daughter of James Hardison and Mary ROBERSON on August 3, 1817. In 1838, Brackett sold his land on Flat Creek and moved his family to Missouri.
