Judge Theodore Washington Brevard settled in Tallahassee in 1847. He became the State Comptroller. The General Assembly renamed St. Lucie county to Brevard in his honor, effective January 6, 1855. Judge T. W. Brevard named his son Theodore Washington Brevard. The younger Brevard also became a lawyer and married a daughter of former Governor Richard Keith Call. While still in his twenties, he served as a Brigadier General in the Confederate Army. Former Governor LeRoy Collins in his book, Forerunners Courageous, has described the family history of the Brevards in Florida. Governor Collins married one of General Brevard's granddaughters, Mary Call Darby. |
