The Brevards were French Hugenots who moved to Ulster County in Ireland with the belief that there, religious freedom could be found. When it was realized that, in fact, the Church of England was in power, the Brevards along with many of the Scots-Irish left Ireland for America.

It was John Brevard's father who moved his family from France to Ireland. Among the friends of the Brevards in Ireland was a family by the name of McKnitt who invited young John in their emigration to America.

In America the McKnitts and John Brevard settled in Cecil County, Maryland. John Brevard soon married the daughter of the McKnitts.
