  Brayton Family
Her father was Deacon Jeremiah Brayton, who moved from Wilna to Cleveland, Ohio, in 1835, and in 1837 emigrated to Wisconsin and settled on the banks of the Crawfish River near Aztalan in Jefferson County.
At once the Braytons commenced to build a log house on the east bank of the river, about 2 1/2 miles below the settlement on a claim that had previously been entered, and as soon as the roof was on the family moved in and commenced making their home.
So it was arranged that Miss Lavina Brayton, a sister of Miss Louisa should become a member of the party and accompany it to Madison, which she did.
