Dear Braswell List Member,

The Braswell List was created, and is maintained, for the purpose of friends
and family of the Braswell surname to meet in an open forum and discuss
BRASWELL Genealogy and BRASWELL Family History.  I want to thank James Green
for starting this list originally, and I would like to say how pleased I am
to have each one of you as a part of this open discussion currently.  As of
today we have 71 subscribers to the List.  Over the past year I have seen
many come and go but I don't think that we have ever had such a fine group
as we have right now. Thank you for your contributions this far and I look
forward to more in the future.

As with any group of people, we will sometimes have our differences in
opinion. To have a "difference" is not a bad thing but there is something
that could be said about the way we go about having our "differences".  So,
in an effort to maintain a quality level of discussion I would ask that
everyone try to follow these simple rules.

1.  Be patient with people who don't do things "your way". We all have
different programs and different formats.  If you wish to give someone
guidence on how to send information most efficiently please do it privately.
Send them the message directly rather than through the list.  This will cut
down on messages that are not related to the subject and any offense that
might be taken publicly.

2.  When you disagree with someones research don't use personal terms to
refute their work.  State your differences in a "clinical" way.  Use
references and explain yourself clearly and kindly.  The typed word is so
much different than the spoken word.  When you type a sentence, it could be
taken much differently than you typed it if the person you are typing it to
doesn't know you. If your statement could be interpreted wrong be sure to
use expressions to show that you are not being rude. A (<GRIN> or <G> or
<g>) can sometimes help you show emotion (expression) that doen't show when
you type.  Some use the <LOL>  ("Laugh Out Loud"), the <ROFL> ("Rolling on
floor Laughing") or some will use the sideways face to show a smile    : )
or frown    : (      

3.    Don't assume that everyone knows who you are.  Be sure to always sign
your name at the bottom of your message.  It is really helpful if you use
your signature line in your email program if it supports it.   This way your
name gets signed to the bottom of your message in case you forget.  Many
women use their husbands email addresses to send email and it really gets
confusing if they don't ever sign their name to the bottom of the message.
As I receive about 20 messages a day I even like to see people put where
they are from after their name.  It gives me another thing to try to
remember them by.  

4.    Refrain from using all CAPS if you possibly can.  I would rather see
someone type their messages in all lower case than in all caps.   Beginners
often use all caps because they are not familiar with the keyboard.
However, many receive this as SHOUTING and it can be very annoying.  When a
person types in all caps it takes away from their being able to make a point
or bring attention to something VERY IMPORTANT.  If you feel you MUST type
in all caps, we will receive your messages just as gladly.  But, we will
hold our ears while we read them!  <grin>

5.   Just remember the Golden Rule!  "Do unto others as you would have them
do unto YOU!"

Thank you!

Keith Braswell

I enjoyed your message that you posted to the List!  Thanks for your
compliments on the site and I am glad you found the archives of use.  I am
going to be posting a new file soon that has some really interesting "stuff"
in it.  

Thanks for your family information and I hope that you find more information
that is helpful to you.  

I am pleased to have your experience in genealogy as a part of the list and
hope to see you involved in the discussions.

Yours for genealogy,

Thanks Keith for putting it so well.  Newcomers are going to say things that
old-timers perceive as incorrect.  However if the newcomers perceive they are
being chastised, they will fear to participate and that would be bad for them
and us.  I remarked to my friends and family that everyone I had met in my
new hobby of genealogy was a friendly group.  I have been in libraries, etc.
where complete strangers would take a lot of time to help me in the mechanics
of my search.  The same goes for the net.  Where else could you meet a first
cousin, four times removed?

Dear Cousin Keith,
   Thanks for the update on your busy life.  Yes, I'm quite confident about
the imminent solution to your Braswell pedigree problem; With JAMES, Sr. you
are back to the grandsons of RICHARD, s/o the Immigrant. Only one generation
to identify, and they are near Isle of Wight, away from that Gordian Knot of
tangled pedigrees  in Edcombe-Nash!

Subject: Re: Nona's Williams Family

Dear Gayle,
   The map showing VALENTINE BRACEWELL with WILLIAMS' was one I drew of the
Virginia/North  Carolina boundary (Isle of Wight County, Va & Bertie
Precinct, NC) as surveyed by Governor Byrd in 1703.  VAL was seated within
yards of the provincial boundary in a sort of colonial "no man's land".
Socially he was already in a kind of no man's land by having lately married
Quakeress JANE POPE even though he was the grandson of a famous local
Anglican priest!  (I have lately found out that these Quakers like HENRY POPE
had been driven south into the "turpentine forest" community by an intolerant
Virginia Anglican government.) VAL was the quintessential con artist and
"user", evidently. He used his charm and FFV (First Families of Virginia)
connections to get loans from rich widows and others--which he never repaid.
And his stalking of that Miss WILSON in Bertie (who finally had to put a
peace bond on this MARRIED man) is a matter of public record.  Evidently VAL
lived by his wits all his life, never working TOO hard at anything except
being likeable. He obviously learned the ferryboat business early on--on this
map, we see he lived on the road to Cheshire's Ferry on the Meherrin River
and was himself seated on a branch of Indian Towne Creek. Later, in Orange,
he opened "Braswells' Ordinary" and ferryboat operation at the head of the
Cape Fear River, where the Deep and Haw converge near present Moncure, N.C.
 In between time he lived off his Braswell-Williams relatives in the Tar
Valley of Edgecombe until he decided to pioneer the Piedmont (easy land
speculation) about 1745.  

   I like to think of VALENTINE as the one ancestor who keeps his descendants
(like me) from being too smug about our spiritual ancestry! LOL  As you know,
most of us with the "Z'  sound in the first syllable are his far-flung
offspring. I know it could be worse; it could have been one of SUSANNAH
BURGESS' TOWLE bastards posing as a "Braswell" or one of ANN CARVER's
"Braswell" woods colts!!!  LOL

Dear Cousin  Joyce,
   The Braswell-Butler match I referred to Friday was the documented marriage
(family Bible record) that occured c. 1775 in Anson County, NC, between
ELIZABETH BRACEWELL, d/o RICHARD & OBEDIENCE, to JAMES BUTLER.
She was born c. 1757 in Orange Co., NC. The couple--and their Baptist
extended family--rode out the Revolution in the Wilkes Co area, then
afterwards removed to Greenville District, SC. At century's turn, they
migrated with the rest to present Anderson Co., Tennessee.  I saw the
interesting coincidence in names in your Georgia connection and thought I'd
offer this interesting bit of obfuscating trivia! LOL

Subject: Re: RICHARD BRACEWELL

Dear Cuz,
   First of all, I'm a Newbie too & having trouble with your address. I try 
MORGAN_HAWK@msn.com  and it brings down the Daemons on me!  :)

You're going to be glad you met me, Joyce!

Flanigan's "History of Gwunnett Co., Georgia" , GS 975.822 H2f   Vol.1
pp.323-326
is a sketch of your JAMES BRACEWELL  given by W.B. Bracewell "his oldest son"
sometime in the late nineteeth century {sorry, no pub date noted} Correction,
I found it: published in 1879.

Let me have your mailing address and I'll send you a copy right away. Its
much too long to copy here.

W.B.'s account of his family's origins are muddled, to say the least. But I
know he gives enough information that we can readily establish your Bracewell
lineage back to the Immigrant. And his data on the Georgia family is
apparently accurate and certainly colorful! Can't wait to share this  with
you, Joyce!

W.B. said that "Richard, the father of James, in the year 1793 married
Charity Scarborough and their first child, James, was born June 5, 1794, in
Allen's Fort, for the people then had to live in forts to protect themselves
from the Indians.Richard had three other sons, Wiley, Richard and William.
His wife died in 1804. After many years he married a Miss Carlisle by whom he
had two sons, Kindred and Allen. He died in the year 1816, of consumption at
about the age of fifty years, leaving his son, James, as executor of his
estate...."  He {James}" married Elizabeth Butler, the daughter of  Jesse and
Mary Butler, on May 10, 1820, in Morgan County....."

The provenance of JAMES is less clear, but shouldn't be too great a stretch
for this intrepid hunter of my 85%  Ulster ancestors who scattered over the
Mississippi Valley like frightened quail, especially with your expert help!
 My problem, as you know, is a 20-year hiatus in this
research......nevertheless...
This is what W.B. had to pass down as his version of the "Bracewell  Creation
Story"
{complete with my insightful commentary} :

"James Bracewell, who was one of the first settlers of Gwinnett County,
descended from a long line of ancestors who immigrated to this country from
Ireland {Oh, no! Not that blarneystone again!} in the early part of the
eighteenth century {which is where the earliest, foggyist part of this jumble
begins}. The name of the immigrant father is unknown {to W.B.}. He settled on
Tar River, near Tarsbrough,N.C. {sic}, and reared only two children, both
sons, Richard and Robert. {the Immigrant had sons ROBERT & RICHARD. The Tar
Valley was the primary origin of North Carolina Braswells, grandsons of the
Immigrant through 2nd son, Richard, b.c.1652} "Richard was the great
grandfather of James. He reared eight children, all sons, one of whom was
Richard, the grandfather of James. This Richard had two wives. By the first
he had one child, a son, Robert, who served through the Revolutionary War,
during which he made a powder horn upon which he carved his initials and that
horn is still in the family." {This bit of physical evidence would seem to
establish Robert as James' g-gf,
the part about the Richard with two wives, I believe, will prove to be the
RICHARD BRASWELL(, s/o ROBERT, s/o RICHARD, s/o ROBERT-who else?-The
Immigrant.
The Richard in question, great-grandson of the Immigrant, was b. ca.1712, d.
1747 in Edgecombe leaving his legitimate heirs (yours?) to fight it out over
his estate with the illegitimate children he had by ANN CARVER, his
common-law wife. This was in the late 1750's and is the best documented
lineage of all North Carolina Braswells! Lucky you if this connects to your
James! }
W.B. goes on to say that Richard, James' dad, married Agnes Proctor "in the
year 1764 or 1765 "{Sorry, couldn't locate this in my NC Index}  and reared a
large family, all boys except one daughter, and her name was Elizabeth. She
is said to be the last daughter born  in the  Bracewell family in this
country. His family was nearly all born and reared to be nearly grown in
North Carolina. {Obviously what he was trying to say was that ELIZABETH was
the last daughter born in North Carolina before they moved to Georgia}  "Soon
after the {Revolutionary} war he sold out and moved to Georgia and settled
oon Briar Creek in Burke County....He then moved to Washington County, now
Laurens, and settled on the Oconee River when it was the dividing line
 between the whites and the Indians. In a few years all his children died but
three, Richard, Sampson, and Elizabeth. {And Richard was the father of
James--got all that? LOL  I checked my files for Burke, Washington, and of
course, 
Gwinnett, and I think we've got enough to piece this one together. The
situation is complicated by the fact that these were "bounty land counties"
and Bracewell/Breazeale vets came pouring in from everywhere!  

W.R. says, truthfully no doubt, that "The removal of the grandfather from
North Carolina gave the family a shock from which it never recovered." { Can
I relate?
My family went from "big dogs" in Saline County, Arkansas--co-founders of
Benton, 1st Sheriff, State Rep, etc.--to near-busted Reconstruction refugees
to Texas,!}

Carey,
You asked:

> By the way, did you recognize all those WILLIAMs that lived near
VALENTINE
> BRACEWELL near the Virginia/North Carolina boundary? (Byrd's report in
back)

I've seen those names before and I suspect that they are related to my line
and my direct ancestor may be one of those men. My Williams folks were very
involved with the Braswells and I suspect that the George Williams/Gwillam
(the Welsh version of  Williams) who was named by Rev. Robert Braswell as a
guardian for a son, was one of mine, but unfortunately the Williams family
is even more challenging to research that the Braswells because there was
probably at least one John Williams and one William Williams in every
county and often there were multiple people of those names who weren't even
related to one another.
 
Here's what I can prove about my Williams line:

William Williams (husband of Lucreasy Braswell and father-in-law of two
Braswells) was probably born about 1750 prob. in Edgecombe Co., NC. He died
in 1822 in Smith Co., Tennessee and he and Lucreasy Braswell probably
married by 1768. They were certainly married by 1778 when her father,
William Braswell died in Nash Co., Tennessee and William Williams was
mentioned.

The parents of William Williams may have led one of those alternative
lifestyles that the Braswells were so fond of. William Williams' mother was
Mary Griffin who married John Williams prob. by 1750. John Williams only
appears in a few records but Mary Williams shows up all over the place,
buying and selling land in her own name. When neighbors bought and sold
land nearby, they referred to her property as "Mary Williams' land" but
they never called her "the widow" which would satisfy me that her husband
had died. If she had still been married I assume they would have called it
John Williams' land. She was even assigned to a jury to work on a road. 

I can't discover the parents of John Williams and it appears that Mary
Williams never remarried and never had any children other than William
Williams. William obtained land from his mother, but there is no record of
his father dying, leaving land to his son, or a guardian being appointed
for William Williams as a minor child. The court records of Edgecombe Co.,
NC are missing during part of the 1750s so maybe that's why we can't find
any answers. 

Strangely, Mary Williams nee Griffin's father disappeared around the same
time John Williams disappeared. Mary's father was John Griffin who gave
property to his daughter after she's married John Williams.

I think that Mary had two brothers: John Griffin who married Mary Hardy or
Hardin and James Griffin. And she was probably related to Archibald Griffin
who was appointed guardian to the minor children of Samuel Braswell who
died about 1795 in Nash Co., NC. Id like to discover the ancestry and
family connections of Archibald.

It appears that as a young woman, Mary Griffin married John Williams, had
one son and then lived the remainder of her long life alone with her son
(and the slaves who no doubt kept the plantation profitable). She was on
the Nash Co., NC tax list in 1782 and was still alive in 1790. She and her
son, William, lived on Pig Basket Creek near their Braswell neighbors.

My guesses about John Williams are that he was probably born by 1730; prob.
married by 1750 and prob. died between 1754-57. The only thing I'm sure of
is that he married Mary Griffin and a son was born named William Williams.

William Williams probably didn't know his father and he didn't even name a
son John. The children of William and Lucreasy were called: Elizabeth,
Chloe, Milly, Priscilla, William, Mary, Samuel, Gilbert, Lucretia and
Nancy.

We are looking for any information on Courtney L BRASWELL, born to Elijah
Thomas and Julia Chrischany LAY.  He was born 25 April 1902, died 20 Jan.
1963.  He was married to Dorothy ?  He was born in Paucah, KY and lived his
adult years around the St. Louis, Mo area.  We have lost track of him.

Also I am looking for a nice Braswell book for a gift to my Mother in law. 
I know I read a lot of talk about books in the archives but can't seem to
find them quickly.  I would like a book on the Early Braswell's in the USA
or in England.  It can be mostly history, this will probably not be used
for serious research.  Thank you.  Karen

Dear Karen,
   There is nothing authentic in print on the Braswell family in early
England or America. Anything claiming to be such--as those bogus "family
history" things you get in your mail--should be classified under Fiction.   
   Should anyone be interested in tracing their Braswell ancestry, I'm sure
our Web Meister, Keith Braswell, will bid them welcome. In order to get
 immediate help with it, one must  trace his lineage back beyond the Civil
War, preferably at least to the time of the Census of 1790--usually a fairly
straightforward task if one avails themselves of published resources.  Sorry,
but genealogy, especially on this family,   is one of those things that
rarely satisfies our American expectations of "instant gratification"! <grin>

Here is a hint....  Use your mouse to select the address when you add it to
your address book.  While you are viewing this message take your mouse and
put the cursor on the M on Morgan and push the left mouse button and hold it
down as you drag it across the address.  When you have it to the m on .com
let go.  You should have selected Morgan_Hawk@msn.com and it will be a
reverse color of what you normally see. Then, with your left hand hold down
the Ctrl key (bottom right of keyboard on most) and then tap the C key while
the Ctrl is held down.  This copies the selected text to your clipboard
(memory)  Then when you go to your address book and make and entry.  Where
it asks for the email address click your mouse on that field.  (I am not
sure how your address book works...)  Anyway, when ever you get to the place
where you would normally type in the address hold the Ctrl (control) key
with your left hand again and tap the V key to paste what you formally
copied with the Control C sequence.  This keeps you from making any mistakes
in the addresses when you type them in.  As you get familiar with it you
will find yourself using it all the time.  I use it for everything.  If I
see a URL in a message that I want to view in my browser I copy and paste
it.  If you already know how to do all this please ignore my message.  Maybe
someone else on the List can make use of the information.

Many happy copy and pastes! Many happy copy and pastes! Many happy copy and

Dear Cousin Nona,
   I've just finished d/l the wonderful Williams and Braswell material you so
graciously copied me!  And guess what? You have one I didn't, the 1720
"Roanoke" NC Tax List items for VAL & JACOB BRASSEL.  Were they together or
widely separate on the list? We already knew VAL was in the Roanoke valley,
starting in the summer of 1715.  The earliest record I had of JACOB was three
years later in 1723 when he patented land on Morattock River next to his
brother RICHARD. This obviously helps refine further our understanding of
these important brothers perigrinations! So nice to catch up on findings
since the 70's!  By the way, what is the reference citation on that Roanoke
tax list?  (Just a little information for our files.... LOL)

   You're right about George Gwilliam being a Williams; subsequent records
prove it, as if it were needed. Yes, the Williams-Braswell connection is an
enigma, so beautifully embodied by you, Cuz! :D   And it looks like it was
imported from mother England! I'm still going to find out which Samuel
Williams helped my gang pioneer Saline County, Arkansas! Did you know
Williams is the third most common surname in America? Most people wouldn't
think of that till they started researching it, right?
<g> Can you name the top five in order? <trivia pursuit> SMITH, JOHNSON,
WILLIAMS, JONES, BROWN.  The next 5? Glad you asked: MILLER, DAVIS, ANDERSON,
WILSON, & THOMPSON. (top 216 list, which Braswell didn't make, LOL)

   Some time when your really needing a boost, I'll share the sad story of
bastard badboy, NOEL WILLIAMS-BRASWELL who fell into bad company in
pre-Revolutionary Orange County. He was hanged eight days after his
conviction.
I will reread your VERY interesting Williams account. It all seems so
FAMILIAR,if You  ya know what I mean. I wonder if there are "twin flame"
families? You could prove it by you, too!  LOL 

As soon as my replacement colonial maps get here, I'll dive headlong into
your double pedigree (but I may take scuba gear and lighting--sure gets murky
along Pig Basket Creek and the Tar Valley! :D)......

Subject: Ancestry of Marmaduke Braswell

Dear Cousin Keith,
   To the task of reexamining all Halifax records before 1800, I would add to
your research list the records of Bute County, whose records will be found
under Bute or Warren. Bute only existed 15 years--1764-1779. It was named for
an unpopular English politician and abolished in 1779 after the Revolution
was underway. Franklin & Warren counties were created from it, and the
records, for the most part, went to Warren. The value of the two records I
found under Bute will be immediately obvious:

Bute Will Book 2, page 178: In the probate proceedings held in Bute November
Court, 1777, the estate of JACOB POWELL, deceased, mentions a WILLIAM
BRACEWELL/BRASWELL as a purchaser of estate goods. Also mentioned were HARDY
STRICKLAND, RICHARD POPE, SAMPSON POWELL, RICHARD SMITH, & REUBEN WILLIAMS.
 We need the full text of this document, and this one too:

Warren Deed Book 3, page 209:  JACOB BRASSELL sold JACOB POWELL 180 acres on
both sides of Tar River. This appears to be the same land JACOB patented in
1750 on Cypress Creek near WILLIAM BRASWELL's old plantation.

Two other deeds in the Bertie-Edgecombe files showed WILLIAM STRICKLAND &
another having land dealings with heirs of said WILLIAM BRASWELL
(c,1676-1721).
My VALENTINE also patented land on Cypress Creek, but he was pioneering
Orange County by 1746.  We know your JAMES didn't belong to VAL; WILLIAM may
prove to be your link with the Immigrant. The answer should tell itself when
all the data is in.

Dear Carey,

Being the greenhorn that I am I don't remember this Bute County.  Thanks for bringing it into the picture.  I am saving all of your messages and the next time I get to the library I am going to take printed copies of them.  I wish I had a notebook computer.  That would make it too easy though huh?   Do you use a computer program to enter your data?  I use Family Tree for windows.

Saving myself looking it up and being lazy that I am sitting here reading your message, what does patented refer to when concerning property? 

I went to our community College the other day and printed out copies of the LDS records on Braswell's in NC.  I haven't had time to look at them but maybe there is something there that will stick out.  

Do you have copies of this will book or are you refering to notes of when you looked at it before?   Have you traveled around documenting these things for yourself or have you been able to find them in books?  It seems that you have a library in your house or something the way you come up with this information! <G>  Maybe you just have a Pentium 500Mhz brain... <chuckle>

I have been working on my web pages these past few days.  They will be ready to publish in a couple of more days.  Be looking for your page to be one of them...

Subject: Re: Lineage of Marmaduke Braswell

Dear Cousin Keith,
   Yes, I believe my forwarding problems are solved, thanks.
   Another thought occured to me today concerning your Halifax connection:
Except for JOHN BRACEWELL, who stayed behind in Isle of Wight, all of
RICHARD's sons went to North Carolina. Of these, all first settled in the
vicinity of present Rich Square in Northampton County after the Tuscarora War
(1713-1714.)
In the 1720's they all migrated to the vicinity of Tarboro in Edgecombe, WITH
THE EXCEPTION OF WILLIAM, who died in 1721. It would stand to reason that his
kids wouldn't feel the same urge to move to Tar Valley/Pig Basket Creek with
their cousins whose families were still intact. Coupled with the STRICKLAND
connections with known members of WILLIAM's family, the evidence pointing to
this first "Bill Braswell" is mounting.....

Subject: "Those WILLIAMS'!"

Dear Cousin Nona,
   First of all, I hope you don't mind my addressing you "Cousin".....years
of habit & I think it helps remind us of all we share......

   I would love to have your Williams' files--and in time, I trust I
will--but right now my head is spinning with Bracewells. You see you've got
me so pumped now that I went ahead and plowed into North Carolina anyway.
Wow! I impressed myself with the collection--primarily aimed, of course, at
establishing my own lineage which ultimately led to the ever-elusive
 VALENTINE (c.1692-1766) and his "shadow son", RICHARD (c.1723-1800).  
   The most efficient approach to partially untangling the Braswells &
Williams' (notice I said "partially"! LOL), it seems to me, would be to
identify the Williams' by their associations with the Braswells. This was
your suggestion, I believe, and a good one. Unfortunately, I do not have a
North Carolina index for families other than Braswells. That's another
helpful piece of work for someone with better eyesight than mine {I have had
to s. buckle operations on my eyes. Retina detachment was introduced into our
DNA by a wealthy great-grandmother. The disease skipped two generations to
hit me, adding confirmation to what I already knew about our souls'
connection} The payoff for whoever does it is, of course, a complete set of
my North Carolina files.  I have to budget my reading time now. 

   I ran across the sad NOEL WILLIAMS alias BRASSWELL case. It was more terse
than I remembered, but chilling all the same. The citation:

WILMINGTON DISTRICT SUPERIOR COURT, MINUTES, OCT. 1760-NOV. 1783 (D.C.R.
 12.001), State Archives, Raleigh.

page 133 (June 1, 1768) The court consisted of "The Honble. Harton Howard
 Esquire  Chief Justice" and associate justices "The Honble Manrow Moore
Esq." and "The Honble Richd Henderson, Esq," and a jury of 12. 

On this day RICHARD SEYMORE  and then" NOEL WILLIAMS alias NOEL BRASSWELL"
were tried on an unspecified felony and both found guilty. Prosecution
witnesses, the "Evidences sworn", were JAMES & SUSANNAH KENNEDY, and JOSEPH
KIRKLAND, who had brought these boys back from South Carolina to where they
had fled. The Seamores were neighbors of the Bracewells in Orange County..
The jury contained 12 men from the Wilmington area with no apparent
connection with the defendants. After this bit of work, "Then the Court
adjourned till 10 oClock tomorrow morning." 

On Thursday, June 2, "The court met accord'g to adjournmt" and proceeded then
to try "NOEL WILLIAMS alias NOEL BRASWELL, THOMAS SEAMORE & RICHARD SEAMORE''
on charges of "Horse stealing". Defendants of course pled not guilty, but
anyway the "Jury fined the Defendt Guilty & that he had no land &c" in each
case.
The defense lawyer played his last card when "Wm HOOPER Council for the deft.
moved for an Arrest of Judgment.     Motion overruled--"

page 136  

   "The Prisoner NOEL WILLIAMS being arraign'd pleaded not guilty whereupon a
Jury was impanneld & Sworn who upon their oath say that the said Prisoner
NOEL WILLIAMS otherwise called NOEL BRACEWELL is guilty of the Felony whereof
he stands charged in the Indictment and that the said Prisoner had no Lands
or tenements Goods or Chattels at the time of the Commiting the Felony or at
any time since to their Knowledge upon which the Prisoner being again brought
to the bar the Court Proceeded to pass Sentence upon the Prisoner in manner
following.  To Wit  that he shall be taken from the Bar to the place from
whence he came & from thence to the place of Execution there to be hanged by
the Neck until he should be dead and that the Sherriff should do Execution of
the said Sentence on Friday the Tenth day of this Instant June between the
hours of Eleven and Two"

(Likewise, immediately following the above and in exactly the same words--the
death sentence was passed on the SEAMOREs.  I havn't a clue which Braswell
got which Williams with poor Noel--the name meant "cause of sorrow'', usually
given to bastards. Be careful what you name 'em, right? LOL Most of the
Orange -Chatham records refer to the family of HENRY BRACEWELL, son of
VALENTINE (c.1692). His family resisted going Baptist (Cf. their
participation in the Regulator Riots that just preceeded these trials) and
kept the records colorful for some time. HENRY's branch also supplied the
most Georgia immigrants. My RICHARD (c.1723-1800) was poorer & quieter than
his more flamboyant brother, HENRY, and their tribe, further evidence along
with their espousal of the radical new Baptist faith that RICHARD's
"Obedience" was indeed a Quaker.)

Hi Keith, You should be getting a few things snail mail from me.  I just
checked out the new page update, looks great.  I was looking for the

to get some history.  We would never have known about our relationship if
we had not seen the descendent list you had posted on there.  I'd like to

If you don't receive any snail mail from me, drop me a line.  Karen Braswell

Keith,
I was on AOL for a while and their mailer didn't work very well which might
be why Carey is having problems. I'm posting this to the list because it
might be helpful for other AOL users too.

Apparently AOL won't let you send a message to more than a single Internet
address per message although you can send one message to multiple AOL
addresses. Also you cannot send a message to both an AOL member and to an
Internet address. It won't work to try and put one of the addresses in the
CC: box either.

To make it worse, AOL doesn't tell you about this so when your messages
bounce you don't have a clue why. This is just one reason, I left AOL and
am now using a direct Internet connection. -Nona

Hello,
	I received a letter from some people in Bath, Ohio that claim they have a
Heirloom Edition Bracewell Directory "virtually handmade to order" for
$34.50 .  Does anyone know if this is a scam or something?  I remember a
few months ago that you were all saying bad things about something similar
to this, but I don't remember all the details of that discussion.  If
anyone has an input I would appreciate it.  The only company name in all
the papers was "Publisher: Halbert's, Bath, OH 44210".  Thanks.

For those of you who haven't found it yet, the US Genealogy Web is a great
research tool.  It's URL is - http://www.usgenweb.com/

>From there, you can click on the state you want and check out the goodies.
 From the state, you can go to the individual county you are interested in.
 Each one of these has a sponsor and you can e-mail queries, read queries,
register as a research, etc.  One of the best is the Isle of Wight Co, VA
which has an excellent history of the county (first settlers on 27 June
1619).  

I have have only looked in VA-NC-TN.  When I came across Braswell
researchers, I have e-mailed them and told them about the Braswell net.  This
has drawn several new-comers to the net.  I have also met 2 new cousins this
way.

Keith - I would suggest that you register the Braswell net with
states/counties concerned.  Usually, you can register on multiple counties
from the state page.  Several of our members are already registered as
individuals.  If this is too much trouble for you, authorize us to do it as
we come across a state or county where we aren't registered.

Dear Theresa, Just wanted to update you on the latest. I got a copy of an 
article about the Bracewells written in 1879 by WB BRACEWELL abot the family. 
It clearly states that MY Richard was Sampson's brother. It also states that 
my James was son of Richard and when and where he was born and mini biography. 
Carey Bracewell sent me the copy of thea rticle fromFlanigan's History of 
Gwinnett Co., GA Vol 1 pg 323-6, GS 075.322 H2f
	Anyway, I just wanted to say how much I appreciated the help you gave me, and 
will add your data to the article's and have a pretty complete picture of my 
Bracewells. Gosh, this has been almost "too easy" I can't believe I got so 
lucky! Haven't had a major find in months (years?) Thanks for helping me out! 
I really really REALLY appreciate it! e u later Joyce

  Your Richard is probably the brother of my Sampson Bracewell of Laurens 
County Georgia who married Elizabeth Scarborough, daughter of William 
Scarborough.  I based this on the will of William who names Sampson as an 
heir.  And on land records that give Sampson's wife name as Elizabeth.

  According to fellow Bracewell researchers, Ray Tarpley and Ron 
Bracewell, Richard and Charity Scarborough Bracewell had 4 children:
James who married Elizabeth Butler, Richard who married first Lucinda 
Spears and second Ms. Allen, Wiley who married Aggie Doorman, and William 
who married Elizabeth Stephens.  Richard had a second wife, Winnifred 
Carlisle, and they had 2 sons: Kindred and Allen.

  My Sampson married Elizabeth Scarborough and they had 5 children:
Mary who married Jethro Judson Weaver, Elizabeth who married Reason 
Spell, William Sampson who married Ridley Hilliard, Eliza who married 
David McDaniel, and Seabron Asbury who married Roxann A. Wolfe ( my 3 
great grandparents ).

  It is believed, because of age differences in the census, that Sampson 
married a second time and had several more children.

  Ray and Ron give Sampson Bracewell and Miss Moore of North Carolina as 
the parents of my Sampson and your Richard Bracewell.  

Looking forward to shareing ideas with you,

Theresa
Dear Keith, just to update you that today I got in the mail a copy of 
Flanigan's "History of Gwinnett Co., GA Vol 1 pg 323-26, an article written in "
1879 by a Bracewell descendant that details his family history back to "the 
immigrant" whose name he did not remember, but he remembered that "the 
immigrant" had two sons Robert and Richard and where he (the immigrant) and "
they lived, etc. It clearly takes my line back to The Reverend Robert 
Bracewell. Since much of this data has been independently confirmed by several 
other researchers from original documents, I think this is a FIND!!!!! Thanks 
a million for your list and all the nice people that have been so great to 
help me with this line! You guys are great! Joyce

Dear Braswell Cousins,
   Hi! My interest in our family's history began in 1958 when I was a
freshman History 
major at the University of Texas, Austin. By chance that year I came across
an old family Bible which belonged to one RICHARD BRAZIL, who, according to
his inscription in the faded flyleaf, "...was borne in the yeare of our lord
l759" and went on to say that JEMIMA BRAZIL, "his wife was borne --Dec.
25--in the yeare of our lord 1764" and went on to give their wedding day as
May 15, 17__ {probably 1780}
None of my kin knew who this guy was...and some even tittered at "Jemima".
But my curiosity was aroused, and what began as a hobby seems to have turned
into "the never-ending quest", for even now I'm still adding to my collection
of Braswelliana.

   A word about my research methodology: basically scientific, on-site
research whenever possible. I followed the suggestions of Doane and other
authorities, and still do. My research--except for some odds & ends here in
the Southwest--was essentially complete by 1973, the year I had my family's
name changed to its original form, BRACEWELL; the year of my little "Braswell
Quarterly", and the year my personal & business life took me away from my
life's hobby. Since then, I've done little research except answer a few
letters. My files are still intact and I am willing to share within certain
parameters: (a) that you've done all your "homework" and gathered EVERYTHING
on your lineage as far back as you can extend it, and (b) remember that my
time and eyesight are both limited. Usually, I can help most if you have your
lineage back at least to the first Federal Census of 1790 and the East Coast.


Here is my Braswell lineage. Obviously, the later your line diverges from
mine, the more I have to offer:

CAREY H. BRACEWELL  (1936-    )     b. Texas
Rev. ETHERIDGE C. BRAZIL  (1896-   ) b. Texas   Yes, 100+ & still sharp!
Rev. JESSE CALVIN BRAZIL (1865-1951) b. Texas
Deacon JESSE BRAZIL (1827-1888) b. Fulton Co., Illinois
MOSES BRAZIL (1803-1872) b. Anderson Co., Tennessee
RICHARD BRAZIL (1759-1842) b. Orange Co., North Carolina
RICHARD BRAZWELL (c.1723-1800) b. Bertie Precinct, North Carolina

RICHARD BRACEWELL (c.1652-c.1725) b. I of W
Rev. ROBERT BRACEWELL (1611-1668), b. London, England

I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge the help of generations of other
Braswell genealogists in assembling my modest collection. Among East Coast
pundits, Cousin Bill Fields of "The Meadows" was my favorite mentor and
contributor of many  rare, original North Carolinian Braswelliana items. The
LDS researchers' contributions could not be exaggerated, especially the
tireless help of Jessie Wadley and Eunice Young. Pal Spencer in Sioux Falls,
an Illinois Brazil descendant, was a good pal and contributed much data and
insight. My work is as much a group consensus as anything else!
As I said, most of my work was done onsite whereever possible: at the
courthouse, in the old cemetery, state archives'...whereever. Then printed
sources were used, such as Bodie's history of "Seventeenth Century Isle of
Wight County". Some of my work has appeared in print since 1970, not all of
it correctly quoted! 

Yours for fun research,

CAREY

Dear List members,
I had heard some good things about the Digest feature of the List and I had
enabled it.  However, I don't like how it comes in run together.  So, I am
switching back.  I would rather receive the messages separate and deal with
them individually.  I hope that you will agree.  I hope the switch back
doesn't upset the flow of things.

If you haven't checked out the changes I have done to The Braswell Family on
the www please do so.  I think you will like the new additions.

Subject: "Braswell Quarterly"

Dear Cousin Keith,
   I read over the data listed under "Braswell Quarterly" on the webpage and
found only minor errors. The typos any intelligent reader can figure out; a
couple of errors in fact, which has since (1973) been corrected are:
1.  The Julian calendar began on March 21, not 25.
2.  The exact date of RICHARD BRAZIL's death is not known, only "c.1842". The
November 5th date was the death date of another ancestor, REUBEN GAGE, who
died in Saline County on that date (11/5/1842).

3. The daughter listed on the 1790 Census of Greenville District, SC for
VALENTINE BRASWELL had to have been MARY ANN ("Polly") who later married
ANDRE ST. JEAN, the French furtrapper, in St. Clair County, Illinois
Territory, in 1805.

4.  The explanation of the 1810 Census of Clear Creek, Randolph Co., Illinois
Territory, has GEORGE born in "1872" which was obviously c.1782.

5.  The middle name "LIGHT" given to my ggf, JESSE BRAZIL, is bogus, based on
accepting the wrong Confederate service record of another, different JESSE
BRAZIL who served in the 19th Arkansas Infantry Regiment (our JESSE served in
the 2nd Texas Partisan Rangers (cavalry)......

Evidently this summary of my lineage's primary records was one I have Cousin
Klute Braswell of Berryville, Arkansas, for use in his book, about 1973. It
reflects the state of my research to that point, and is a good introduction
to other Braswell researchers to this cousin (CAREY). Thanks for sharing it
with the membership!

   A final note, you asked about "patenting" land: that was the final process
of free land aquisition in colonial times. The first step was to get a
"warrant" or script for "x" number of acres from the granting authority. Next
came the survey (with the names of the "chainbearers" often of family
significance). Finally, with all the paperwork and fees in, the land was
formerly deeded--or "patented" to the applicant. As often as not these
patents represented land speculation rather than actual settlement on the
land. 
After Independence, the Federal Land Office got around speculators somewhat
by requiring certain improvements be made on the property before title was
granted.

Subject: The lineage of William Jackson Braswell

Dear Cousin (& fellow Texan!)Foy,
   
   If you can establish your descent from Jonas & Rion Braswell, I think
we're in business: many if not all the Braswell/Brazles in the Wilkes area of
northwest North Carolina owe their origin to a "diaspora" of  a Baptist sect
from Montgomery-Anson county at the outset of the Revolutionary War.I believe
your Rion & Jonas are a part of that group.  Here is the story:
   By 1769 a Baptist sect group that included Richard & Obedience Braswell
had tired of the Regulator Troubles in Orange County and had moved, as an
intact congregation, further west into the wild Piedmont and settled along
"the Baptist Fork of Clark's Creek", a tributary to the Little River, in what
was then Anson, later Montgomery County. When the Revolutionary War broke
out, Richard's elder son, GEORGE (b.c.1750; m. POLLY MORGAN c.1770, Anson)
headed back east & rode it out in Moore County. Most, if not all, the rest,
including their Baptist allied families, headed northwest to Wilkes County.
Some of those of draft age (such as my ggg-gf, RICHARD, 1759-1842) even went
into the Wautauga Settlement in "Washington Co., NC/Tennessee" to stay out of
the fighting. They were not cowards; many, such as OBEDIENCE {probably of
Quaker birth} were conscientious objectors, the dogma of these first, radical
Southern Baptists! That they were patriots is proved by the peaceable
marriage of RICHARD's daughter, OBEDIENCE ("Jr") to DAVID HALL, a
Revolutionary War veteran, on January 20, 1784, in Wilkes County {all this
from HALLs Rev pension application}  
   Complicating the research is the distinct possibility that some of HENRY
BRAZWELL's brood in Orange-Chatham might have contributed to this Baptist
survival commune which was centered on their Meeting House on Reddies River,
which is just west of North Wilkesboro, North Carolina.By this time RICHARD &
OBEDIENCE had marriageable age children, & some went their separate ways:
GEORGE to Moore Co., as mentioned; FREDERICK m. ELIZABETH______& headed for
Jackson Co., Georgia, where he expired in 1828.But most of the rest of the
kids moved with RICHARD & OBEDIENCE to Greenville District, South Carolina,
in 1787 or thereabouts. No  doubt there may have been other older
sons--JONAS?--who stayed behind in the Wilkes area, too. One BOARDVINE BRAZLE
was born c.1799 in nearby Surry County of unknown provenance but almost
certainly connected to this Baptist bunch by place and time alone! Not many
people had the skills or the stomach for what it took to survive & prosper on
that frontier! 

Here is all I have on Burke County:
1819  1-26  BRAZEL, RION married ANN BEARD.  JAMES DAVIS, Bondsman.
 1821  5-20 BRAZEL, WILEY married BEADY {"Obedience?"} BARBER. RION BRAZEL,
Bondsman.
1835  By this year, WILLIAM JONAS BRASWELL, a "Revolutionary War hero in the
North Carolina militia, had died. He had lived in Burke County on Lower
Creek, and was  buried in Burke, near Crossnore, N.C.  He had relatives in
Yancey County, N.C." {This was from some "History of Wautauga County",
evidently based on JONAS' pension application, and relayed to me by Eunice
Young. Sorry I didn't press her for citation on book, but there can't be that
many on the subject. I had established my line to Greenville District and
 was only marginally curious about JONAS.  I assume you have all this, right?

  Alllied families to be treated as "markers" for determining a possible
connection with RICHARD & OBEDIENCE's bunch must start with  SHEPHERD, whose
association with the Baptists and the Bracewells went back to Orange County
days. Others from the Anson-Montgomery/Wilkes period included HALL, BUTLER,
WHITE, LUCAS,USSERY, possibly STONECIPHER.

Subject: Lineage of JAMES BRACEWELL of Gwinnet Co., Georgia

Dear Cousin Joyce,
   Now we can get down to business on this lineage! I've no doubt that the
connection with RICHARD BRACEWELL, Jr. (c. 1672-c.1742) will be proved in
time. I reread my NC & Ga files looking for easy answers, but of course found
none, only tantalizing clues! I will reread certain old correspondence for
more information, but suffice to say I'm confident the connection will be
established. For one thing, the use of the name "RICHARD'" was found
primarily in only two lines, that of this RICHARD and that of his baby
brother, VALENTINE (c. 1692-c.1766), which happens to be my line. 

   Following the Gwinnet county history leads, I checked on Burke Co., Ga.,
for which I have only the land grants, 1768-1803. None were to a RICHARD, but
a ROBERT BRASWELL received a State grant of 60 acres in Burke in1789.
(SSS-597)

   I have a few more records for Washington County, including a grant of
287.5 acres to Revolutionary War veteran SAMPSON BRAZILL dated 11/20/1784. A
year later, we find an Edgecombe Co., NC deed (Edge DB8-548) in which SAMPSON
BRACEWELL of Washington Co., Ga., sold ABNER BRACEWELL of Edgecombe land that
was "left to the said SAMPSON BRACEWELL by his father RICHARD BRACEWELL by
his last will and testament." Then in 1798 the delinquent tax list for
Washington Co. features one RICHARD BRASWELL. I should think a thorough
examination of Burke/Washinton/Gwinnet records would be the next order of
business..... Its probably more than coincidence that your JAMES had close
kinsman named SAMPSON.
   We can & will untagle this mess, Cuz! Meanwhile, thanks for the
interesting letters. I do appreciate your calling my hand about that
powderhorn marked "RB"; while it is PROBABLY ancestral, even with the pretty
legend to go with it, it isn't PROOF that its ancestral! Part of group
dynamics is keeping each other honest, right? LOL

I have been corresponding with Alice Douberley (Jonesborough, TN Genealogical
Society) about the Allisons of Johnson Co, TN.  My great-grandmother was
Louisa Allison who married William Jackson Braswell.  She passed the info
below along to me.  The murderers were Braswells and the victims were
Allisons.

To:  FoyBrasw@aol.com (INTERNET:FoyBrasw@aol.com)

Foy, from "The Brassell Hanging of Putnam County, Tennessee" by Donald E.
Spurlock, I gleaned the following information.

Joseph Lewis (Joe) Brassell (also Braswell & Brazel) and his brother George
A. (Teek) Brassell murdered John J. & Russell Allison on November 1875 in
Putnam Co., Tenn.  Joe & Teek were the sons of Edbert, b. ca. 1816 in N.C.
(Edbert was accused of raping his daughter, Tennessee, but the charges were
dropped) and Mary P. Brassell, b. ca. 1829 in Tenn.  They had children:
        Tennessee, F, b. ca. 1848 Tenn.
        William, b. ca. 1844, Tenn.
        Reuben J. (James/Jim), b. ca. 1845, Tenn.; m. Harriet Z.
        Zachariah T., b. ca. 1851, Ky.
        Luiza, b. ca. 1853, Ky.  (These 2 may have)
        Joseph, b. ca. 1853, Ky. ( been twins     )
        George A. (Teek), b. ca. 1855, Ky.
        Amanda, b. ca. 1857, Tenn.
(This was from the 1860 census of Dixon Springs, Smith Co., Tenn.) Samuel
(Buck), b. ca. 1862, Tenn.
(From the 1870 census of 7th Civil Dist. (Gentry Community, Baxter), Putnam
Co., Tenn.)

It would seem that Joe, Teek, prob. Jim, and another decided to rob a man
carrying a lot of money who was suppose to spend the night at Russell
Allison's step-mother's house.  The man didn't get there that night, but Joe,
et. al., came, demanded to be let in and fed.  Russell went to the door, let
them in, and was shot.  He died the next day claiming who shot him.  His
brother, John, went with the posse to capture the killers, and was himself
shot and died 25 hours after Russell.  There was some question about whether
Teek really did either of the shootings.  He & Joe were hanged in 1878 - the
only public hanging in Putnam County.  Joe admitted to the killing, but Teek
died claiming his innocence.  It has been speculated that he took the "rap"
for his sister Amanda, who was at the hanging.  Their brother Jim claimed he
did the killing when he was dying. 

Russell & John were the sons of Joseph Allison, and brothers of William &
Joseph Allison.  Joseph, Sr., had married 2nd Angeline ?, and they had a
house with a dog trot separating the two sections.  The section not used by
the family was often used by travelers.  After Joseph died, Angeline m. James
Isbell.  His son, W.J. Isbell, was the Tax Collector for Putnam County and
was the man who was carrying so much money, and who the Brassells had
intended to kill.

I thought this was pretty interesting.  I'm afraid, though, I still wasn't
able to identify any of the Allisons that you listed.  Are these Brassells
related?

Alice

last night and he was of the opinion that your JAMES may connect through

SAMPSON,
SOLOMON, RICHARD, JAMES, & WILLIAM;wife ELIZABETH, & daughters SARAH, MARY, &
ELIZABETH. THOMAS BRYANT, a witness to the will,is thought to be a kinsman to
the widow ELIZABETH, who was probably a BRYANT (not ELINOR, RICHARD II's
lawful wife and presumed mother to this RICHARD).

   RICHARD "IV" and some of his brothers--including SAMPSON--ventured further
west into Johnston County, then some into Anson. From there, following the
Piedmont down into Georgia would be a natural progression.

I think your Bracewell pedigree may prove to be:
Rev. ROBERT (1611-1668)
RICHARD (c.1652-1725)
RICHARD (c.1672-c.1742)
RICHARD (c.1705-c.1767)
RICHARD (c.1735-18__) died in Georgia; brother to SAMPSON
JAMES 

Is that enough RICHARDs BRACEWELL for you?  :) 

I'll put together what I have on this line and mail it to you. As you saw
from yesterday's mail, I'm trying to get James Green in on this. He is
another descendant of RICHARD II by ANN CARVER and may be able to help. Bill
Fields is too old to bother about this. Some of his other friends are trying
to prevail upon him to publish what he knows about the Braswells, which would
be a blessing to us all! 

You mentioned SUSANNAH BRACEWELL's receipt of 400 pounds of tobacco
"commodity money" for looking after the wife of JOHN COLLINS, Sr. in Isle of
Wight in October, 1694 (DB 1, Orders, 1693-1795, p. 51). Yes, I am very
familiar with this.
COLLINS' wife, MARY, was SUSANNAH's mother whom COLLINS evidently beat
severely. Not to take sides, but mother & daughters' contentious natures (as
shown elsewhere by cutting people out of their wills, etc.) may well explain
why ROBERT, Jr. skidaddled  over to Nansemond (a burned out county) where he
evidently died w/o issue, coming back to I of W only to give "wife" SUSANNAH
power of attorney to settle any old debts. He may have returned to
England--who knows? All this will be fully documented when Keith shares my
"Braswell Quarterly" with the membership.

Hello Again Braswell List,
	I decided to re-post my inquiry on the World Book of Bracewells,
because I don't think it got delivered correctly:

	I got a letter in the mail from Bath, Ohio trying to sell me a
"valuable and extensive international directory of Bracewells".  What's
the scoop?  I remember you folks talking bad about something similar to
this a while back.  Is this worth $34.50 plus $4.88 postage and
handling?  Any feedback would be appreciated.

Dear Cousin Foy,
   Thank you for the interesting murder scandal from Putnam Co., Tennessee,
November, 1875. Although spiritual leadership is a theme in many branches,
not all our honored ancestors were candidates for sainthood, were they? <g>
   
   Its interesting what all we've gotten involved in since 1649, isn't it? A
Bracewell killed Pat Garrett, the sheriff  who killed Billy the Kid. And in

Dear Cousin Joyce,
   I've assembled a 65-page packet of documents and informed comentary on
your RICHARDs BRACEWELL to go in the morning mail.  No doubt your
understanding of this probable connection with the Immigrant  will be much
better after having studied same.
You will appreciate the great debt we all owe Bill Fields (WCF) of
Fayetteville after you see how many documents were lovingly copied and
analyzed by him. This was, of course, his line of descent--as far as Richard
II anyway. My own line--and primary interest in Edgecombe--deflects west
after 1746 when my VALENTINE, RICHARD I's "baby brother" (b.c.1692) lit out
for some Granville speculating in Orange County. N.B. that the VALENTINE
whose real estate  dealings are mentioned in the Johnston County section of
my materials belongs with this Orange County bunch.

I have another item to add to the list of Braswell scandals although this
one occurred in the Williams family in DeKalb Co., Tennessee (remember that
these Williams men married Braswell women). Anyhow there was a murder on
Williams property and the person convicted was a slave belonging to William
Williams. This case set a precedent for murder convictions using
circumstantial evidence. 

Keith Hayes who has posted to this list a couple of times got a copy of the
case as cited in law books some time ago from an attorney friend of his.

There was also a story in the news a couple of years ago about a young man
named Braswell (in a southern state) who appeared as a defendant in a case,
but was evicted from the courthouse because he was wearing a T-shirt with a
slogan that offended the judge. I wish I could remember more of the details
but that's all I can recall. -Nona

Subject: LBJ & Bill Fields

Dear Keith,
   Cousin Foy asked to share LBJ's Bracewell lineage with the membership. It
goes:
   Rev. Robert Bracewell (1611-1668)
   Jane Bracewell (c.1646-c.1711) m. Robert Eley. Jr. 
   Eli Eley m. Anne Lawrence
   Robert Eley III m. Martha Doughtie
   Samuel Eley m. Mary Hillsman
   Ann Eley (1763-1815) m. John Johnson (1764-1828)
   Jesse Johnson (1795-1856) m. Lucy Webb Barnett (1798-1857)
   Samuel Eley Johnson (1838-1915) m. Elizabeth Bunton (1849-1917)
   Samuel Eley Johnson, Jr. (1877-1937) m. Rebecca Baines (1881-1958)
   Lyndon Baines Johnson, President of the United States 

   This lineage was worked out by Cousin James MacLamroch of North Carolina,
the one who also had the brass plaque honoring our immigrant ancestor
installed on the rood screen at St. Luke's, Isle of Wight County.

   A research project that would pay tremendous dividends to both present and
future Braswell researchers would be an interview with Braswell expert (and
my old friend and mentor)  Mr Bill Fields of Fayetteville, NC. Bill is
getting along in years now--he'll be 80 September 27th--and doesn't type or
drive up to Raleigh anymore. But he has a wealth of Braswell information
gleaned from years of in-state research that needs to be captured on tape and
shared. If someone would be kind enough to volunteer to interview him--and
perhaps take this fine old gentleman out to dinner, too--I'd be pleased to
help format the interview. Bill's expertise is the family of RICHARD
BRACEWELL ("II"), husband of ELINOR, consort of ANN CARVER of Edgecombe
County, from whom Bill is a double descendant. But he knows more about
colonial North Carolina Braswells than any other living person. I BEG
EVERYONE not to bother Bill with calls or letters; he is still the premier
portrait artist for North Carolina gentry (governors, etc.) and has 4
portraits on his easel right now he needs to finish. He is also co-author of
a work in progress on the records of  Cumberland County. The last thing he
needs to be bothered with  well-meaning Braswell cousins who havn't worked
out their pedigrees to at least the eighteenth century period.

Wouldn't you know it, the only state that I'm having real problems getting
through to on the Gen Web Project is Arkansas!

I am a Western Outlaw History buff and am remiss at not knowning who shot Pat
Garrett.  Indeed, it was Jesse Wayne Brazel.   I have an excellent article in
one of my books about the incident.  We can publish it to the net later and
nominate him for "Braswell Rascal of the Month."

Sounds interesting.  After you post it to the list, maybe Keith will
put it on the web if you own the copyright.  I have heard the name
Pat Garrett, but do not remember who he was but think I vaguely 
remember a western movie or series I saw with that character?

   Yes, I would like to talk with Joe. I think among the three of us, we
could make short work of linking up Marmaduke with the Immigrant. I have
always assumed that Elijah was M's dad, and James his g-gf. To me the
research problem centers on Elijah's & James' parentage, with William
(d.c.1721) a strong candidate for the latter.

Foy,
Thanks for your work on the US Genweb project!  We are getting the Braswell
Family Linked together all across the country.   I really appreciate your
work on this project.  As we go forward with it please title your subject
line "Braswell's On USGEN Web" so people can identify what it's pertaining
to.  I had a couple peope who were confused and thought they were subscribed
to a USGenweb list group instead of The BRASWELL-L.   <G>  

Everyone else,
Please use this as a general rule going forward.  Please try to use the
surname Braswell somewhere in the subject line when possible.  Some people
subscribe to many different lists and when the mail get's heavy, things get
confusing.  Or when they get behind in their mail they may delete an
important Braswell message! <G>  Try to be as descriptive as possible.

Some good examples of Braswell List Subject lines would be:

Subject:  Elijah Fredrick BRASWELL query
Subject:  A Braswell Hanging Story.
Subject:  Braswell, "Those Williams"
Subject:  Braswell - Toole
Subject:  The will of Valentine Braswell

Some bad examples of subject lines would be:

Subject:  Something to consider
Subject:  Help!
Subject:  Elijah Fredrick 

This is not a demand, only a suggestion.  Thanks again!

Yours for Genealogy,
Keith

Subject: The James Smith Bible

Dear Keith & Nona,
   Please d/l the following document and share it with everyone interested.
It is as close to a family Bible for RICHARD (c.1723-1800) & OBEDIENCE
SNOW(?) BRACEWELL as we"re apt to get. Many of your readership descend from
this couple
and therefore should welcome this documentation, such as it is.

BACKGROUND:  The Bible belonged to JAMES SMITH (b. Aug. 25, 1829, Gipson Co.,
Tenn.), s/o DIANAH BRASWELL SMITH, who was d/o JOHN BRASWELL, the accepted
youngest son of the above RICHARD & OBEDIENCE BRACEWELL. JOHN was b.c. 1770,
Anson Co., N.C. & m. REBECCA PRUITT in Greenville District, S.C. c.1790. (Cf.
1790 Census).  The information in the Bible is in the form of a dairy,
written sometime after April 8, 1884 (printing date) when Smith was 55 or
older. Smith shared what he knew about his family from memory, the bulk of
which was naturally about the SMITHs. It was probably written in Provo, Utah.

   Smith probably learned most of what he knew from his mother (who had been
dead 10 years at the writing, she (Dianah Smith) having expired in Herber
City, Utah, on March 8, 1875.  He may have consulted other members of his
family for some of the information, inasmuchas several names were added after
he made the original listing.
It is noteworthy also that he used nicknames in place of Christian names in
the cases of ROBERT, VALENTINE, & OBEDIENCE--as a family member would. 

   Smith's credibility and  reliability are enhanced by the fact that he
undertook this dairy as a sacred {Mormon} religious obligation, which he
obviously took very seriously! He made fewer than a half-dozen errors in
reference to the BRASWELL & PRUITT families, out of a wealth of precise
information (names & dates, relationships, etc.)he shared. From the tone of
the whole document, one gets the  clear impression that Smith was a sincere
man of integrity. On the other hand, his spelling showed he was an honest
Mormon farmer--not an English professor, and he did show a charming innocence
by his naive acceptance of the myth that he descended from Pocohontas and
Captain John Smith! 

   The dairy is in the loving hands of a Smith descendant in Provo. A
microfilmed copy is in the LDS Archives in Salt Lake City. Cite "GRE Smith
Bible".

ANALYSIS

While Smith's Bible is an invaluable resource, it does contain some apparent
errors. Smith's assertion that John Braswell & Rebecca Pruitt were both born
"about 1752"in South Carolina cannot be true on both "facts". John was
actually born c.1770, as presumably was his Rebecca. (Cf. 1790 Census of
Greenville District where JOHN is evidently a "newliwed"--just him and his
female!)And John was almost certainly born in Anson (Montgomery) County,
North Carolina, where his family lived at that time. It is interesting that
John was living next to my RICHARD BRASWELL (1759-1842) & family in the 1790
census.....

   Another error in the Smith account is the identity of JAMES' wife, which
should almost have certainly read MAXWELL, not MAXFIELD. The Braswells were
neighbors and land-swappers with the MAXWELLs....no MAXFIELDs around.

   Also, another known son of RICHARD & OBEDIENCE, WILLIAM (c.1766-185_) was
left off the list entirely as was FREDERICK (c.1752-1828.d. Jackson Co.,
Ga.).
Two other probable sons, JOHN & SAMPSON, weren't mentioned either. Smith's
information did not extend much beyond the South Carolina period, and the
last three named never lived in that state. WILLIAM was evidently a quieter
guy than his more flamboyant brothers! 

It only remains to be pointed out that "Robin" was ROBERT, "Vaul" was
VALENTINE, and "Birdence" was OBEDIENCE. "Nancy" evidently remained a
spinster.
It also remains to acknowledge the tireless devotion of LDS Braswell
descendant and  expert researcher, Eunice Young, who uncovered this
genealogical gem, among so many others!  Eunice is retired to Salt Lake City
now and works only occasionally on other lines. But her invaluable
contributions to Braswell research will always be remembered.

PATRICK FLOYD GARRETT (1850-1908)

Pat Garrett, a frontier sheriff and rancher, was best known for capturing and
later killing the outlaw "Billy the Kid" in July 1881.  

After retirement, Garrett became a cattle rancher near Organ, NM.  On March
1, 1908, Garrett was riding to Las Cruces with Carl Adamson who was a partner
in a cattle operation with "Deacon Jim" Miller, a noted gunslinger.  Adamson
was negotiating with Garrett over a deal to fatten up Mexican cattle on
Garrett's grassl.  Also present was JESSE WAYNE BRAZEL, a local cowboy who
was raising goats on land rented from Garrett.

About four miles from La Cruces, the men had stopped by the side of the road
to relieve themselves, when, according to Adamson, Brazel suddenly drew his
gun and shot Garrett.  Brazel, who later confessed to the crime, claimed he
shot in self defense.  Brazel stated that he and Garrent had been arguing and
the old lawman was threatening to shoot him.  The case went to trial and
Brazel was acquitted.  Some say the trial was highly suspicious.  For one
thing, Adamson, the only witness, was never called to testify.  For another,
the evidence suggested that Garrett was shot in the back of the head, and
that at the time he was shot he was in the act of urinating.

There has been much speculation over the years that others were involved.
  One suspect was a  local rancher and long-time enemy of Garrett's named
W.W. Cox.  Another  was a partner of Brazel's named Print Rhode,  and of
course "Deacon Jim" Miller.  Also, some believe Adamson was the murderer.
 Most votes, seem to be for Miller, as part of a grand collusion of all
parties involved.  The best evidence however, still points to Brazel who
likely did get into an argument with Garrett over Pat's insistence that he
sell his goats so Garrett could lease the land to Miller and Adamson.

We hail from Henderson, NC, in the north central part of the state. Grand
father was born in south central Virginia near Lawrenceville. I assume we
are connected to the Isle of Wight Virginia folks who seem to be the place
of the early Braswells. The textile mills of Henderson and Roanoke Rapids,
NC provided the employment for many in my family. We are always interested
in learning more about the family but don't have much time to devote to a
search. We have 10 year old triplets, so we are establishing the next
generation of Braswells. Thank you for providing this place to exchange
information.

David Wayne Braswell's Query
My name is David W. Braswell and I am seeking information on a certain
Dempsey Braswell born around 1807, probably in Tennessee, but possibly in
Alabama or North Carolina. His family moved from Tennessee to Kentucky
around 1841-43 and from Kentucky to Illinois around 1848-50. The 1850
Jackson County, Illinois census shows Dempsey as a resident with an age of
43. His offspring at the time were Robert, age 12, Nancy, age 11, and
Jacob, age 9, all born in Tennessee, and William, age 7, Armintha, age 5,
and Martha, age 2, all born in Kentucky. Any info. you may have would be
much appreciated.

Don Carter is a newsman on channel 10 (Columbia SC).  InfoAve 
is in Rock Hill SC.  Are you Don Carter the newscaster?  That
Don Carter went to the same church I did in Johnson City TN.

Guess you saw my Sampson claim in the Roots-L Surname List?
Many of we 70 Braswells on the Braswell List (see cc-line) have 
ancestors & relatives with the given name Sampson due to our
ancestor Richard Braswell (1651-1735) marrying Sarah Sampson.
The immigrant Rev. Robt. Bracewell was the father of Richard.
Richard only had one brother so I suppose half the Braswells
descend from Sarah Sampson & the rest call her aunt.  Well
Richard did have 3 sisters & I guess some of their descendants
may also be subscribed.

Anyway we need a list for Sampson & web pages for Sampson.  

If any of you Braswells can help Mr. Carter on his Sampson, 
you all can write him.

she might have been a Valentine. -Nona

I know this has been discussed before.  I guess there should be
a home page on this subject.  Anyway, I penciled in the VALENTINE
possibility into my Wm.Wayne Braswell book.

I looked at the lineage on Wm.Wayne's page viii & see a son
& grandson named Valentine among Sarah "Sampson"'s descendants, 
but the 1st child named Sampson does not appear until Sarah's
great grandkids.  Of course I am only looking at one lineage so 
am not looking at all of Sarah's grandkids nor all of her great
grandkids.  My Sampson Carver is also a great grandson of this
Sarah "Sampson".  I think we need a tree just showing people
named Sampson that descend from the Braswells.  Is there a
prominent Sampson that Sampson County NC is named for & that 
our Sampsons are being named for, like people named kids for
Thomas Jefferson & John Calvin?  I know we discussed that.
I found my handouts from a workshop I attended at the NC
Archives in the mid-1970's  It says Sampson Co. was created
in 1784 from Duplin Co.  Someone tell me the USGenWeb url
so I can check Sampson Co. & email if necessary to find out
who Sampson Co. is named for.  Or one of you tell me who it
is named for & that man's dates.  The dates of our our earliest
Sampsons are:

1 Sampson Braswell (brother b.1732) (page viii of WW.Braswell book)
2 Sampson Carver b.1755 (my pedigree)
3 Sampson Braswell b.1763 (page 39 of R.B. Braswell book)
 
1 & 2 are gt.grandkids of Sarah "Sampson or Valentine"
3 is a gt.gt.grandnephew of Sarah "Sampson or Vallentine".

Our Sampsons are older than the county, but could be named 
for the same hero or preacher as the county is named for
unless said hero became famous after our Sampsons were born.  
I took the earliest Sampson from each lineage.  I bet we 
could make a more complete list of people named Sampson with
their approx. birth years.  Also we need a list of men named 
Valentine.

Are there people surnamed Valentine in the county where our
Sarah lived?  Wonder where the will or estate papers are
that list Sarah Braswell as a child in her father's estate.
Could be in any county of any state or the Perrogatory court 
of Cantebury or any county in UK if her dad returned to the 
UK to die or is it that if you have land in the colonies 
that you have to probate in the Perrogatory Ct. of Cant.?  
Or the estate could be in the ashes of some court house 
fire.  I hope one day that every name in every paper is 
indexed world-wide so that if we do not find her as a child
in a will, we can say either they did not bother to settle
her dad's estate or it burned & we can stop looking.

Carey, what makes you think Sarah is a VALENTINE?

SAMPSON COUNTY, NC
                          
Sampson was formed in 1784from Duplin. It was named in honor of Colonel John
Sampson,who was a member of JosiahMartin's council. It is in the eastern
section of the State and is bounded by Wayne, Duplin,Pender, Bladen,
Cumberland, Harnett and Johnston counties. The present land area is 944.74
square miles and the 1990 population was 47,297. The act establishing the
county directed that the first court be held at the home of James Myhand, at
which place the justices were to decide where all subsequentcourts were to be
held until a courthouse could be erected. Commissioners were named to select
a central location, purchase land, and erect the public buildings. It is
probable that the courthouse was called Sampson Court House on the public
lands of the county. Clinton is the county seat.

Dear Cousin David,
   The first Braswells in Illinois were sons of RICHARD & OBEDIENCE BRACEWELL
of North Carolina. RICHARD died near Clinton, Tennessee, c. 1800. His sons
ROBERT, VALENTINE, and WILLIAM pioneered the Goshen Settlement of present
Madison (then St. Clair) Co., Illinois Territory, c.1805. Four years later,
his son RICHARD, Jr. (1759-1842) pioneered Johnson County. From time to time,
members of their brother, JAMES' family, also came to Illinois. JAMES was
murdered in 1799 in what is now Morgan (then Knox) County, Tennessee. It is
possible that your DEMPSEY descended from one of these brothers, possibly
ROBERT inasmuchas DEMPSEY named his first son that.

Subject: The ancestry of Dempsey Braswell

Dear Cousin Keith,
   Please forward the following to Cousin Wayne Braswell in further answer to
his recent querry:
   
   Dear Cousin Wayne,
   
   Please collate the following information with that I just shared:

   True, the earliest Bracewells in Illinois Territory  were those of RICHARD
& OBEDIENCE BRACEWELL, my lineage. But yours came much later, to a different
county, bearing the probably-significant name, DEMPSEY.

   A hurried scanning of my North Carolina files shows that  one of the
earliest references to a DEMPSEY BRASWELL   was in  Nash County, NC, Circa
1795.
In February Court of that year, JAMES WILLIAMS proved the will of SAMUEL
BRASWELL of Nash who names a son, SAMPSON.  This well-loved SAMPSON received
the bulk of his father's estate--including a {no doubt beloved } still.  Old
SAMUEL also left a generous bequest to "my two {grand}children, SAMPSON and
POLLY BRASWELL..."   Yours, perhaps? 

SAMPSON, Senior, got the homeplace "and plantation where my {SAMUEL's} father

lived and died containing..." 296 acres ..."it being two parcels of land that
was given me by my father..." SAMUEL also names wife, SARAH (slave, "Mary
Ann"; mare, "Jenny"); son, MICAJAH (cattle & colt); daughter, ELIZABETH
(negro "Jack" & 3 sheep); daughter MARGARET (furniture & livestock); son
WILSON (land, furniture, livestock, "one rifle, one chest, one pocket
compass, and the colt that his mother's mare Jinny is now {Nov. 30, 1794}
with foal with..."';daughter QUEENIE (negro "Simon" & usual" feather bed and
furniture")   

Sorry, but citation for this document escapes me....

SAMPSON BRASWELL next appears in my Nash records in that sad little case of
ROBIN BRASWELL vs CALLEY POWELL BRASWELL (Citation: LEGISLATIVE PAPERS, 1798.
North Carolina Archives, Raleigh, L.P. 157.

In this notorious case--only one of 4 divorces granted in North Carolina
before 1800,
ROBIN BRASSWELL was granted a divorce from his wife, CALLEY  who" was brought
to Bed of a Black child", took off with her African paramour, had 3 more
children by him, then turned up 8 years later with the youngest of these,
demanding ROBIN support them both as law required. DEMSEY & BRITAIN BRASWELL,
along with numerous POWELLs, attested  to ROBIN's petition to "the honable
the general assembly now sitting at Raliegh".
N.B. The name "MICAJAH" as DEMSEY's brother is probably also significant. My
index shows one of that name in Edgecombe in 1845. My index also shows a
DEMSEY BRASWELL in Moore County in 1779 which would definitely tie you to my
RICHARD & OBEDIENCE (Orange/Montgomery counties) if yours, but for the life
of me I couldn't find the reference! 

Well Cuz, hope these clues help you narrow your search for your Braswell
lineage. You  must know by now that Braswell-hunting is not for the
faint-hearted! <grin>

Subj:    Sarah Valentine as the wife of Richard Bracewell (c.1652-1725)
Date:    97-03-16 12:12:06 EST
From:    CBracewell
To:      jameswgreen@juno.com

Dear Cousin James,
   The evidence that our first American RICHARD's wife  SARAH was a VALENTINE
is, as usual with Braswells, circumstantial. The opinion was first expressed
ex-cathedra by no less an authority than Katherine Edwards, former County
Clerk of Isle of Wight County, Bracewell descendant, and professional
genealogist. Given the prevailing custom of naming a younger son after his
mother's family (e.g. "Braswell Bridger", near some Braswells on the 1740
List of Bertie & Edgecombe Jurymen ) it would stand to reason that the unique
naming of one of  his youngest son "Valentine" has family meaning. 
   That "Valentine" was a unique name--not a "fad"name--is proved by the same
list of Bertie/Edgecombe veniremen  cited above{Secretary of State. THE
COLONIAL RECORDS OF NORTH CAROLINA, Vol. 4, p.523+} in which only one
"Valentine" 
appears on this list of 470 adult men, none other than our "VALL BRASSWELL",
#431.

   Finally, the fact that VALENTINE's descendants faithfully perpetuated this
well-known FFV {First Family of Virginia} name is significant evidence in
itself, made the more so by  the less than saintly lifestyle of this original
VALENTINE (c.1692-1766). 
First off, he married a Quaker (JANE POPE) down in the turpentine forests of
south
 Isle of Wight,{which could not have endeared him to his more conservative
Anglican relatives}, seats himself within 100 yards of the then-undetermined
provincial boundary between Virginia and North Carolina (so as to confound
the authorities, no doubt), and next shows himself being slapped with a peace
bond by one SARAH TAYLOR in Bertie Precinct July 14, 1729. Even though a
married father, he had to post a 40-pound bond that he would leave SARAH
alone "for the space of One year and a Day." 

   Not that old VAL is a serious contender for Cousin Foy's "Braswell Rascal
of the Month" (unless we're running out of candidates! :)  :)  :D), but his
history after that was, well, undistinguished. In the early 1730's he  joins
his more ambitious brothers in the Tar Valley in Bertie/Edgecombe. He must
have been employed in the naval stores industry, for when that industry
experienced a downturn and Granville simultaneously opened the southwest
Piedmont to settlement in the mid-1740's, old VAL was first in line to grab
some free land in Orange County.  That he had a not-so gentle nudge to go
west is shown by SAMPSON WILLIAMS to SAMUEL WILLIAMS, for 30 pounds, 320
acres on N/S Tar River  at mouth of Cypress Creek "whereon VALENTINE BRASWELL
now lives." (Edgecombe DB 5-462, signed March 4, 1744.}

   VALENTINE & sons settled at the head of the Cape Fear River where they
opened an inn ("Ordinary") and ferryboat operation at the confluence of the
Deep & Haw rivers.  We may speculate VAL learned this business living near
similar ferry operations in Virginia.  At any rate, the rest of VAL's story
is one of bad debts, since he was apparently good at winning people's trust.
We only know that he died c. 1766 because a series of lawsuits against him
were dropped at that time since "he could not be found."  What a guy! 

So you see it's probably identification with the FFV Valentines rather than
the dubious reputation of its original bearer that caused this name to be
perpetuated in this line down to this century. For example, there were
VALENTINE BRAZILs in Arkansas well into the 1900's, long after anyone
remembered anything about the original connection!

I should like to see what "evidence" would have our SARAH be a SAMPSON! Anent
that, Iwould imagine the Biblical character "Sampson" was the original
inspiration for that name.

Yours for fun sleuthing,

CAREY BRACEWELL

I checked Britannica & there is no Col. John Sampson.  
All I find in Britannica is Wm.T. Sampson a US Naval Officer 
in the Spanish American War.  You say "honor" & not "memory"
so I guess Col. John is too young to be the one our Sampsons
are named for.  Col. John must've been in the Am.Rev. & 
perhaps the French & Indian War.  Anyone got his dates?  I
guess Samson & Sampson are the same & our Sampsons could be
named for the one in the Bible.  I sure do not like the
distance between Sarah Sampson & the 1st of her descendants
named Sampson.  That makes Valentine look like the more
likely surname.  Both Valentine & Sampson could be given
names like James & Jonn being passed down given names or 
named for neighbors' given names.

Dear Cousins,
   I should have mentioned that the absence of any extant Virginia record
tieing SARAH BRACEWELL to the VALENTINEs is a function of how many "burned
out counties" first the British and then those damnyankees left behind in
Tidewater Virginia!

Hi there, 
you don't know me from Adam but I happened upon your website.  I am tracing
my family tree and I am a descendent of Robert Braswell who came to
"America" in about 1650. After about 6 generations the spelling was altered
and became "Brasel", which is what my Gradmother's family goes by.  

If you are interested, I'd love to share the Braswell/Brasel pedigree
information I have, or if you are ever in Kansas City I'd like to meet your
family.  It is about 30 or so pages long with reprints of wills and such.
Just let me know.

Dear Cousin Gayle,
    Your North Carolina maps should arrive soon.  Mine came yesterday. Please
d/l the following notes and find a good magnifying glass for use when yours
arrive:

   The 1833 Mac Rae-Brazier shows the area of central Montgomery County were
our RICHARD's family lived until the Revolutionary War moved South: Rocky
Creek, Cedar Creek, Richs Creek. RICHARD lived right on Little River, and
"the Baptist Fork of Clark's Creek" had to be nearby. Note that the road to
Fayetteville ("Cross Creek") cuts right through here, the road various of
these Baptists were appointed to maintain.

   Speaking of roads, the 1775 Mouzon clearly shows the route that first
GEORGE & SAMPSON(?), later RICHARD's whole family, would follow up to the
upper Yadkin country: follow the road that runs north along Little River,
turning west where it intercepts Cape Fear Road. RICHARD's gang settled on
"Reedy Creek". The 1833 map shows RICHARD's Wilkes homestead correctly, as
"Reddies River" just north of Wilkesboro.  On the same map, note the road
that leads northeast to Fisher's River in Surry, where your branch seated,
not more than 20 miles away. And I'm sure you are already aware that the
"Moravian Survey"  east of that, a heavily-populated German settlement that
may have contributed a bride to the Braswells  and who was the inspiration
for the unusual name, "Boardvine".  {My Palatine ancestors, the Bruhlmanns,
became "Prillemans" by the time they got to Tennessee!} GEORGE is known to
have married POLLY MORGAN, but SAMPSON may well have found his bride among
these Germans. There weren't many Anglo-Americans out there to choose from at
that time!

What I have is a old "manuscript" that was researched by a family member.
There is a pretty nifty set of information about some of the women who
married into the Braswell family and their roots in the colonies as well.  I
will be hitting Kinko's this week and I'll mail you my complete set.  

Do you know if any of the Braswell/Bracewell/etc. folks owned slaves, and if
so, has anyone tried to trace the slaves' decendents?  I have never run
across an African American will that last name, but odds are there might be
some out there.

Let me know if you need any other information.  I will be travelling to
England in the next couple years and would like to search any records of
pre-colonial Braswell/Bracewells if any exist.  Also, the LDS Church has
recently added some information from Europe according to a friend of mine.

Dear Cousin Joyce,
   Thank you for the nice letter. I got a real chuckle from your
DABs....Daughters of American Bastards! They used to call these "natural
children". And wasn't it Madame de Stael--Diderot's contemporary, who said,
"My dear, aren't ALL children natural?" LOL.  I loved your style from the
beginning when you said "I don't take my ancestors too seriously--they were
human after all--but I do take genealogy very seriously."  This demonstrates,
I think, a useful maturity in approaching our ancestors. If we get
ego-involved, we handicap ourselves. Scientific detachment in all things!
 And I already knew the value of group concensus, although  I suspect that
you like me can't be swayed when the preponderance of evidence points to a
clear {to us} conclusion. The analogy of trial by jury is apt: make them
prove they're our ancestors. 

Can't wait to hear what you make of the RICHARD BRACEWELL materials!

Dear Cousin Gayle,
   Yes, as a matter of fact I do have expertise in reading colonial
handwriting--I read the Isle of Wight records in the original, archaic
script, for instance--but I don't think my talents are called for here: that
person was apparently not a Bracewell. 

   I cannot identify at present the WILLIAM BRAZIL who married MARY HALL
October 6, 1802, in Rowan, nor the JOHN BRASEL who married MATILDA PRICE in
Wilkes April 13, 1816. Indeed, I didn't have the record for JOHN, since this
was long after my branch left the area. One can only speculate for now if
there was any connection between the first match and the BRACEWELL-HALL
matches that are known to have occured in the Reddies River area of Wilkes
during the 1780's.

   We--you, Foy, and I--are at the stage in this research problem of
gathering all the extant data from the Blue Ridge area Circa 1800 and
plotting it out in a time-space 
framework so as to sort out these Bracewells once and for all. Naturally my
slant would be to associate many of them with the family of RICHARD &
OBEDIENCE since they were among the first in that part of Carolina, but it is
already clear that members  of other branches were also operating in the
trans-montane region early on.  We  can and will get them sorted out! 

   I'll send you another copy of my NC index. Georgia index is printed, too,
so I can "snail mail" a copy of that. Our FREDERICK BRASWELL died in Jackson
Co., Ga., c. 1828. It looks like JOHN expired there some 20 years earlier. 

   Again, lets keep focused on the Surry/Wilkes area before 1800,OK? Our
answers have to be there.

Subject: Re: Dempsey Braswell born c. 1807

Another Dempsey BRASWELL (BRAWELL in 1850 Alabama Census index) about this
age is living in Alabama by 1830.

He is living in Wilcox Co., AL (page 164, two pages away from Robin
BRASWELL, Richard LANCASTER and Peter WILLIAMS.  Others of these two latter
surnames are also in the county.) in 1830.  In 1850, he is living in
neighboring Marengo Co., AL (p. 67).  Because of the WILLIAMS and LANCASTERs
also living there with Dempsy and along with other BRASWELLs, I'm pretty
sure this bunch all hails from Smith Co./DeKalb/Middle Tennessee people
which came originally from the Nash/Edgecombe branch of NC.  I do not know
the exact relationship but he's probably closely related to the Dempseys in
Lucretia (BRASWELL) WILLIAMS immediate family.

Some time ago I posted a question concerning the father of William Braswell 
(son of either Richard or Robert and a grandson of Rev. Robert.)  The problem 
has been that both Richard and Robert had sons named William and it has been 
difficult to separate them.  I am looking for father of the William who married Mary 
(Wilson??) and moved to NC.  Mary had later remarried Moses Guinn at least by 
1726.  I have since come across some very thorough research done by a relative of 
my grandmother which suggests that this William's father must have been 
Richard.  I'm posting the reasoning for this below.  It sounds pretty logical to me.  

Robert Braswell's widow (Susannah Burgess(?) Braswell Towle) gave land to her 
sons Richard and William in her will.  This will was recorded in Isle of Wight Co. on 
6/26/1732.  The will was presented by her son William Braswell, executor named 
therein.  Therefore, Robert and Susannah's son William was in Isle of Wight in 
1732 and could not have been the William Braswell who moved to Chowan-Bertie 
Co, NC and died in the 1720s.

A copy of the will and the dates involved is included in the research.  This is new 
to me, but I realize it may already discussed on the list.  If anyone has any ideas as 
to why this might not be reliable, please let me know.

Thanks, Tim Wilson

Just thought I would throw in some nostalgia.  My first cousin born 1917 and
I born 1931 had the same handwriting teacher in grammar school. Those were
the days of steel pens and inkwells in your desk.  The exercises were
push-pull and ovals.  My cousin wound up with beautiful handwriting and I
didn't.  The teacher was an old spinster whose nickname was "Granny Wildcat."
 She got that name because of her correction habits such as throwing erasers
at you, breaking rulers over your head, public spankings, etc.  She also used
some degrading adjectives and nouns when addressing you.

Dear Cousin Gayle,
   Nice work on Tallitha! As you surmised, she evidently married HODGE, then
KIRBY, after outliving BV's father. 
   The best reference  I could find on the Moravian Germans, doubtless
Tallitha's people, is Adelaide L. Fries, "The Records of the Moravians in
North Carolina",which should be available in any large library.
   
   Have your North Carolina maps arrived yet? My next move on this research
problem will be to plot out the period 1770-1800 on a traced map of the upper
Yadkin area (Wilkes/Surry) and adjoining counties (Anson/Orange/Rowan) to see
if the pattern confirms my thesis of SAMPSON & GEORGE as pioneering older
sons of  RICHARD & OBEDIENCE. You havn't commented on this strong
possibility, but that's understandable given your excitement over your
Tallitha discoveries!

Subject: Re: GOT YOUR PACKAGE!

Dear Cousin Joyce,
   Pleased to hear my RICHARD BRACEWELL materials pleased you! The
counterfeiter was RICHARD BRACEWELL, Jr. (d.c.1747), grandson of the
Immigrant. He was acquited {even though caught deadbang} I believe, because
the jury was sympathetic to his plight {everyone was getting ripped off by
the Crown's so-called "mercantile policy" to the colonies, causing a chronic
cash shortage} and to convict would have meant  the automatic death penalty. 

   Yes, you do descend through the legitimate line, evidently. That would be
RICHARD BRACEWELL III, he of Edgecombe will of 1767.  That was Bill Field's
opinion, and mine. But the evidence will speak for itself, so it would appear
we need to collect more of same from both the Georgia end and the Carolina
end.

Dear Cousin Foy,
   Thanks for sharing the nostalgia! Those who yearn for "the good old days"

Dear Cousin Tim,
   Hello, fellow  Texan and Bracewell descendant!
   Yes, you are quite right about the WILLIAM BRACEWELL whose widow, MARY,
married MOSES GINN in Bertie Precinct, NC, after 1721. He was the son of
RICHARD BRACEWELL (c.1652-1725) & wife, SARAH VALENTINE(?), grandson of the
Immigrant Anglican priest, Rev. ROBERT BRACEWELL (1611-1668).
   WILLIAM was not mentioned in either RICHARD's nor SARAH's will because he
predeceased them both.

Because of the vast confusion about the various Williams, this might be good

Looking at the chart in the front of Dr. R.B. Braswell's book
               _Robert BRASWELL Jr.
Rev. Robert___| 1650-1702____________William BRASWELL I
Braswell      | m. Susannah BURGESS  Chowan County

              |_Richard BRASWELL     
                m.Sarah

Now adding from chart in front of WW Braswell's book which comes
down on Richard son of the Reverend.

               _Robert BRASWELL Jr.
Rev. Robert___| 1650-1702____________William BRASWELL I

              |                      m.Mary
              |

                                     |
                                     |_Robert BRASWELL
                                     |

                                     |_& 3 daughters

So, if W.W.Braswell's chart is complete, then where is the son
of Richard b.1651 that is named William?

>I am looking for father of the William who married Mary (Wilson??) 
>and moved to NC.  

I hear from previous discussions on this list that there is more 
than one "Mary (WILSON?)".  W.C. Fields of Fayetteville NC told 
me that there was evidence that Mary wife of my William CARVER 
(alias BRASWELL) might be a Wilson.  I have William's 1767 Cumberland
Co NC will on the web at my url in the signature lines below.
Click on "Braswell Pages".  It shows his wife is a Mary & that
he made her & Joseph Dunn and Silvenus Wilson his executors.  
If that is the basis, then she could as easily be a Dunn.

>Mary had later remarried Moses Guinn at least by 1726.  

That means your Mary is older than my Mary, I will drop the 
Wilson subject & repeat where is William the son of Richard b.1651.  
Looks like we need more wills on the web.

>I have since come across some very thorough research done by a

Good point.  Dead men don't bring in their mom's will.  But can
we trust that Susannah Burgess' son died in 1720 like the chart
says?  Perhaps some of you have photocopies of the will of William 
who d.1720.

Subj:    Sarah Valentine as the wife of Richard Bracewell (c.1652-1725)

From:    CBracewell
To:      jameswgreen@juno.com

Dear Cousin James,
   The evidence that our first American RICHARD's wife  SARAH was a VALENTINE
is, as usual with Braswells, circumstantial. The opinion was first expressed
ex-cathedra by no less an authority than Katherine Edwards, former County
Clerk of Isle of Wight County, Bracewell descendant, and professional
genealogist. Given the prevailing custom of naming a younger son after his
mother's family (e.g. "Braswell Bridger", near some Braswells on the 1740
List of Bertie & Edgecombe Jurymen ) it would stand to reason that the unique
naming of one of  his youngest son "Valentine" has family meaning. 
   That "Valentine" was a unique name--not a "fad"name--is proved by the same
list of Bertie/Edgecombe veniremen  cited above{Secretary of State. THE
COLONIAL RECORDS OF NORTH CAROLINA, Vol. 4, p.523+} in which only one
"Valentine" 
appears on this list of 470 adult men, none other than our "VALL BRASSWELL",
#431.

   Finally, the fact that VALENTINE's descendants faithfully perpetuated this
well-known FFV {First Family of Virginia} name is significant evidence in
itself, made the more so by  the less than saintly lifestyle of this original
VALENTINE (c.1692-1766). 
First off, he married a Quaker (JANE POPE) down in the turpentine forests of
south
 Isle of Wight,{which could not have endeared him to his more conservative
Anglican relatives}, seats himself within 100 yards of the then-undetermined
provincial boundary between Virginia and North Carolina (so as to confound
the authorities, no doubt), and next shows himself being slapped with a peace
bond by one SARAH TAYLOR in Bertie Precinct July 14, 1729. Even though a
married father, he had to post a 40-pound bond that he would leave SARAH
alone "for the space of One year and a Day." 

   Not that old VAL is a serious contender for Cousin Foy's "Braswell Rascal
of the Month" (unless we're running out of candidates! :)  :)  :D), but his
history after that was, well, undistinguished. In the early 1730's he  joins
his more ambitious brothers in the Tar Valley in Bertie/Edgecombe. He must
have been employed in the naval stores industry, for when that industry
experienced a downturn and Granville simultaneously opened the southwest
Piedmont to settlement in the mid-1740's, old VAL was first in line to grab
some free land in Orange County.  That he had a not-so gentle nudge to go
west is shown by SAMPSON WILLIAMS to SAMUEL WILLIAMS, for 30 pounds, 320
acres on N/S Tar River  at mouth of Cypress Creek "whereon VALENTINE BRASWELL
now lives." (Edgecombe DB 5-462, signed March 4, 1744.}

   VALENTINE & sons settled at the head of the Cape Fear River where they
opened an inn ("Ordinary") and ferryboat operation at the confluence of the
Deep & Haw rivers.  We may speculate VAL learned this business living near
similar ferry operations in Virginia.  At any rate, the rest of VAL's story
is one of bad debts, since he was apparently good at winning people's trust.
We only know that he died c. 1766 because a series of lawsuits against him
were dropped at that time since "he could not be found."  What a guy! 

So you see it's probably identification with the FFV Valentines rather than
the dubious reputation of its original bearer that caused this name to be
perpetuated in this line down to this century. For example, there were
VALENTINE BRAZILs in Arkansas well into the 1900's, long after anyone
remembered anything about the original connection!

I should like to see what "evidence" would have our SARAH be a SAMPSON! Anent
that, Iwould imagine the Biblical character "Sampson" was the original
inspiration for that name.

Yours for fun sleuthing,

CAREY BRACEWELL

Where'd you see that I have a Jacob Braswell?  I don't have one in
my pedigree & know of none in my gedcoms that Cliff Manis has.

Anyway, I am herewith sending this to the Braswell List.  If you 
are not subscribed to the list & have Braswell ancestors, I think
you should join.  It is free of cost.  To subscribe send email to

Since there are several new subscribers to the group since I last polled the
group, here’s my “stopper”:

David Braswell born about 1780 in NC, died 1832 in Crawford Cty. GA
	Spouse Nancy _______
	Children:
		1)  Son Timothy b. abt. 1810 in NC, m. Sirena Ogburn, Crawford Cty.
		2)  Son William

		Timothy and Sirena had a son named Green Henry Braswell (1849-1909)
			who lived and died in Crawford County. He married Mary 					
      Elizabeth Horn.


My question:  Who was the father of David Braswell?  Honorable mention in my
will for the (correct) answer!

Thanks again to Keith for all his dilligent efforts on our collective behalf.
Also a raspberry to the occasional un-cousinlike interjection. Pfffft!!

Subject: WILLIAM BRACEWELL (c.1676-c.1721)

Dear Cousin Keith,
   Please share the following about the above-named character with interested
membership, hopefully untangling questions about him for the present:

   The misinformation that the Immigrant Rev. ROBERT, had a son,"William" is
entirely false and specious, whatever its memeographed source! There was a
"Bracewell-Towle" child by that name which is perhaps the source of the
confusion.  These "Bracewell-Towle's", offspring  of commoner RICHARD TOWLE
{by his 1692 will}, and  SUSANNAH BURGESS BRACEWELL {will 1714}stayed around
Isle of Wight for the most part where they sort of fizzled out with the
declining fertility of the Tidewater soils......North Carolina was almost
exclusively pioneered by the legitimate sons of RICHARD & SARAH VALENTINE(?)
BRACEWELL.

   That WILLIAM was probably third son of RICHARD & SARAH follows from (a)
ROBERT & RICHARD, Jr. appear earlier in  Isle of Wight legal documents, and
(b) that it would be following a familiar Bracewell naming pattern that goes
back to at least Tudor England (Grantham Parish, Lincoln), in this case,
RICHARD, Jr. (c. 1672) preceeds ROBERT (c.1674). Then comes WILLIAM (and
"there has been one in every Bracewell--pronounced brazul--colony and family
ever since," according to one knowledgeable Bracewell descendant! It is
certainly true here in the Southwest, where the name is usually preceeded by
"Wild"....  Billy Brazul does have a  certain rhythm, doesn't it?)  I could
tell you some Wild Bill tales.....    :)  

   That WILLIAM was born before Oct. 9, 1682, is shown by Isle of Wight DB 1,
1688-1704, p. 401 which, on same date in 1703, WILLIAM ("W") BRACEWELL
witnessed WILLIAM & MARTHA BROWNE to RICHARD BRACEWELL JUNr, 35 acres of a
patent of 156 acres on the S/S main Blackwater granted to BROWNE
10/28/1702.The purchased tract was on Browne's Spring Branch to WILLIAM
BROWNE's line...all the land on the northwest corner of the original grant. 

   William was a fiesty character, as shown by a 1719 assault case {WILLIAM
assaulted Constable RICHARD WASHINGTON on April Fools Day that year} I'll
share later. While most of his brothers waited until after the Tuscarora War
(1713) to move from the Blackwater area of Lower Parish, Isle of Wight,to
Chowan Precinct, North Carolina,  our William was there patenting land  as
early as March 4, 1711/12! {North Carolina Grants & File Folders, State
Archives, Raleigh: Book 1, p. 173. WILLIAM BRASWELL granted 1280 acres on
Cypress Swamp "issuing out of Morattuck (Meherrin) River. WILLIAM goes on to
patent large tracts of land in the Albemarle Sound (Chowan Pct.) area until
he patents his last on Nov. 2, 1720, on ehich date  he patented yet another
100 acres on his beloved Cypress Swamp. Next we find MARY BRASWELL, Widow,
paying poll tax on 1600 acres in Chowan for the years 1720 & 1721. She
received a grant for 300 acres in Chowan on the N/S Morattock River
 beginning at "BRASWELLs supposed line" {WILLIAM's last entry no doubt}to
WILLIAM BRASWELLs corner..."to a cypress in the low grounds of the river..."
{Ibid., Grant #552, Book 3, p. 109} on September 8, 1722. But MARY was
acquiring land in her own name as early as "8ber" (October) 21, 1721, when
she bought 190a N/S Meherrin River from WILLIAM & MARY COLLINS of Nansemond
Co.,Va., hence the estimated date  of WILLIAM's demise is Circa 1721.  

   We know that MARY, widow of WILLIAM BRACEWELL, had married MOSES GINN by
November 4, 1726, when the two sold 300 acres in Bertie Precinct to JOHN
POWER. That the two had indeed married is proved by Bertie DB C-119  in which
MARY GINN is identified as the "late wife of WILLIAM BRACEWELL, dec'd". In
this instrument MOSES &  wife, MARY convey MARY's dower to remaining lands
patented by WILLIAM BRACEWELL, dec'd tp "WILLIAM BRACEWELL, son of WILLIAM
BRACEWELL and MARY BRACEWELL alias GINN..."
   William & Mary Bracewell had other children than WILLIAM. THOMAS BROWN to
JOHN ROGERS, Jr. for 110a N/S Meherring River dated November Court, 1726
(Bertie DB B-182) was witnessed by JACOB BRACEWELL & MARY BRACEWELL. 

   The identity of other of WIliam & Mary's offspring, and their connection
if any with the Halifax Braswells, are among the many mysteries surrounding
this branch. That they profited much by old WILLIAM's early and persistent
patenting is patently obvious! <g> It only remains to be pointed out that
WILLIAM is not mentioned in either parents (RICHARD or SARAH's)  will because
he predeceased them both.

   On another matter, the location of the Bracewell colony that formed up c.
1715 in Chowan Precinct on "Potocasy" & "Catawisky" meadows, these features
can be seen on the Moseley 1733 map, available from the State Archives,
Raleigh. Look just north of the Bertie Court House, Bertie County. This was
the first North Carolina stop
(before Edgecombe) for WILLIAM's brothers {excluding stay-behind baby brother
JOHN}. It was in the area of present Rich Square, Northampton Co., NC.

I wondered how our ancestors got divorced.  I found a good book in the
library -
"Tennessee Divorce Laws 1797-1858" by Gale W. Bramman.  I may publish a
summary of the laws later.  There was only one ancestor in the book, but she
was a rascal.  Cousin Carey Bracewell aptly called this "Polly's Folly."

RODGERS, JAMES    18 October 1833    SUMNER COUNTY
James Rodgers was married in Sumner County on 25 April 1833 to POLLY BRAZZEL
of Sumner County.  He lived with her "until June last."  Polly would not
permit him to cohabit with her, or "treat him as a wife should treat a
husband."  She went to Gallatin and took goods in his name up to $100.00 and
returned home, took his only horse and saddle and left him.  She says she
only married him for his property and that she won't live with him.  He last
heard she was on her way to Nashville.  He believes she is guilty of adultry,
but has no proof.

Keith,
	I just came upon your page. Just wondered if you know a Sylvia 
Rose BUTCHER BRASWELL? She has done extensive research on ALL of her 
surnames. At this time she doesn't have an e-mail address, but I could 
send you her snail address. I remember her saying that her husband's 
BRASWELL'S were from Arkansas. So maybe you could help each other. 
Sylvia is my first cousin once removed. (I beleive) Her Dad & my 
Grandmother were siblings.

Dear Cousin Rich,
   I located your DAVID BRASWELL's family on the 1830 Federal Census of
Crawford County, Georgia, noting that he also had a son(?) named ARTHUR.
   I think an examination of the records of Robeson County, North Carolina,
might be useful to solving this research problem:  The will of ARTHUR
BRASWELL of Robeson, signed 18 January 1819 names a son, DAVID. ARTHUR
definitely ties to the Edgecombe-Nash "mother lode" of Braswells. He was
patenting land on Ashpole Swamp in Bladen (now Robeson) by 1787. 

   Since we live in the same metropolitan area, why don't you come and
examine my Braswell records in person? We live south (naturally! :D), @ 9322
Lightwood Loop, just north of the intersection of Brodie & Slaughter lanes,
in upscale Milburn's "Cherry Creek II". Call 280-6736.

NOTHING should be taken from his book without further research.

>As for a child's omission from the will-- 1) William BRASWELL m. Mary
(WILSON???) predeceased him.  2) If he had already received his inheritance
from the father, there would have been no need.  3) Also the British laws of
primogeniture (sp?) make it unnecessary for a man to name the first born son
in a will.  The will (at that time at least) is only for if you want other
children to get something.  As one moves further away from the British
immigrant (and especially Virginia), one doesn't have to worry so much about
whether the 1st born was named or not in the will (as usually they all
were); and primogeniture fell out of favor here.  Indeed widows who left
wills more often than not only name a few of the children whom they wish to
get a little something extra.  A will is not nearly as good a document as an
Administration of the Estate record where all the heirs (deceased or
otherwise) must be named (although I'm not quite sure how these worked in
early Virginia while primogeniture was still prevalent).

Dear Cousin,
    After a good "ROFL" at "Polly's Folly", had to d/l it immediately  and
add it to our growing "Cousin Foy Braswell's BRASWELL  RASCAL-OF-THE-MONTH"
candidate file! What a hoot! And a blood member of the family at that! {We
can explain away SUSANNAH BURGESS and CALLEY POWELL as "Those people...", but
POLLY BRAZZEL was definitely one of us!  :D

Dear Cousin Keith,
   Please share the following about the above-named character with interested
membership, hopefully untangling questions about him for the present:

   The misinformation that the Immigrant Rev. ROBERT, had a son,"William" is
entirely false and specious, whatever its memeographed source! There was a
"Bracewell-Towle" child by that name which is perhaps the source of the
confusion.  These "Bracewell-Towle's", offspring  of commoner RICHARD TOWLE
{by his 1692 will}, and  SUSANNAH BURGESS BRACEWELL {will 1714}stayed around
Isle of Wight for the most part where they sort of fizzled out with the
declining fertility of the Tidewater soils......North Carolina was almost
exclusively pioneered by the legitimate sons of RICHARD & SARAH VALENTINE(?)
BRACEWELL.

   That WILLIAM was probably third son of RICHARD & SARAH follows from (a)
ROBERT & RICHARD, Jr. appear earlier in  Isle of Wight legal documents, and
(b) that it would be following a familiar Bracewell naming pattern that goes
back to at least Tudor England (Grantham Parish, Lincoln), in this case,
RICHARD, Jr. (c. 1672) preceeds ROBERT (c.1674). Then comes WILLIAM (and
"there has been one in every Bracewell--pronounced brazul--colony and family
ever since," according to one knowledgeable Bracewell descendant! It is
certainly true here in the Southwest, where the name is usually preceeded by
"Wild"....  Billy Brazul does have a  certain rhythm, doesn't it?)  I could
tell you some Wild Bill tales.....    :)  

   That WILLIAM was born before Oct. 9, 1682, is shown by Isle of Wight DB 1,
1688-1704, p. 401 which, on same date in 1703, WILLIAM ("W") BRACEWELL
witnessed WILLIAM & MARTHA BROWNE to RICHARD BRACEWELL JUNr, 35 acres of a
patent of 156 acres on the S/S main Blackwater granted to BROWNE
10/28/1702.The purchased tract was on Browne's Spring Branch to WILLIAM
BROWNE's line...all the land on the northwest corner of the original grant. 

   William was a fiesty character, as shown by a 1719 assault case {WILLIAM
assaulted Constable RICHARD WASHINGTON on April Fools Day that year} I'll
share later. While most of his brothers waited until after the Tuscarora War
(1713) to move from the Blackwater area of Lower Parish, Isle of Wight,to
Chowan Precinct, North Carolina,  our William was there patenting land  as
early as March 4, 1711/12! {North Carolina Grants & File Folders, State
Archives, Raleigh: Book 1, p. 173. WILLIAM BRASWELL granted 1280 acres on
Cypress Swamp "issuing out of Morattuck (Meherrin) River. WILLIAM goes on to
patent large tracts of land in the Albemarle Sound (Chowan Pct.) area until
he patents his last on Nov. 2, 1720, on ehich date  he patented yet another
100 acres on his beloved Cypress Swamp. Next we find MARY BRASWELL, Widow,
paying poll tax on 1600 acres in Chowan for the years 1720 & 1721. She
received a grant for 300 acres in Chowan on the N/S Morattock River
 beginning at "BRASWELLs supposed line" {WILLIAM's last entry no doubt}to
WILLIAM BRASWELLs corner..."to a cypress in the low grounds of the river..."
{Ibid., Grant #552, Book 3, p. 109} on September 8, 1722. But MARY was
acquiring land in her own name as early as "8ber" (October) 21, 1721, when
she bought 190a N/S Meherrin River from WILLIAM & MARY COLLINS of Nansemond
Co.,Va., hence the estimated date  of WILLIAM's demise is Circa 1721.  

   We know that MARY, widow of WILLIAM BRACEWELL, had married MOSES GINN by
November 4, 1726, when the two sold 300 acres in Bertie Precinct to JOHN
POWER. That the two had indeed married is proved by Bertie DB C-119  in which
MARY GINN is identified as the "late wife of WILLIAM BRACEWELL, dec'd". In
this instrument MOSES &  wife, MARY convey MARY's dower to remaining lands
patented by WILLIAM BRACEWELL, dec'd tp "WILLIAM BRACEWELL, son of WILLIAM
BRACEWELL and MARY BRACEWELL alias GINN..."
   William & Mary Bracewell had other children than WILLIAM. THOMAS BROWN to
JOHN ROGERS, Jr. for 110a N/S Meherring River dated November Court, 1726
(Bertie DB B-182) was witnessed by JACOB BRACEWELL & MARY BRACEWELL. 

   The identity of other of WIliam & Mary's offspring, and their connection
if any with the Halifax Braswells, are among the many mysteries surrounding
this branch. That they profited much by old WILLIAM's early and persistent
patenting is patently obvious! <g> It only remains to be pointed out that
WILLIAM is not mentioned in either parents (RICHARD or SARAH's)  will because
he predeceased them both.

   On another matter, the location of the Bracewell colony that formed up c.
1715 in Chowan Precinct on "Potocasy" & "Catawisky" meadows, these features
can be seen on the Moseley 1733 map, available from the State Archives,
Raleigh. Look just north of the Bertie Court House, Bertie County. This was
the first North Carolina stop
(before Edgecombe) for WILLIAM's brothers {excluding stay-behind baby brother
JOHN}. It was in the area of present Rich Square, Northampton Co., NC.

Dear Cousin Lucy,
   Of course you are right about checking Dr. Braswell's statements--where
you can guess at the references--because much of them are  in fact specious.
 He was an affable fellow with an obvious love of family,and  I never thought
his little book "Following the Braswells on the move Westward in America"
would cause so much mischief! {If you've been following the exchanges at the
Braswell website, you know what I mean.} For at the time he was putting out
the first printing of this historical fiction, I was publishing my "Braswell
Quarterly" which was a compendium of Braswell documents along with informed
commentary. Inasmuch as I sent the quarterly to a number of major libraries,
I assumed any future Braswell researcher would find my work, not his.
Surprise! He accepted without verification the conclusions of other Braswell
searchers of the day and blithly printed them alongside his own unsupported
assertions. Now a lot of folks are in for a lot of rethinking! 

   Let me know how I can help with your Braswell lineage. I'm impressed with
your work location, even though I have an advanced Eastern college degree,
too! (MS in Management, GWU). My Dad always says he "went through Harvard,
too....In one door and out the other! " (Harvard's Chaplains' training
school, WW II).

Nona,

According to Ronnie Bracewell and Ray Tapley, two fellow researchers of my 
Bracewell line in Laurens County Georgia, Sampson Bracewell, the son of 
Richard Bracewell of Edgecombe County, NC, married Miss Moore on May 31, 1762.  I 
have not seen this document so I do not know if it is Sampson or Samuel.

Here is a brief listing of their reasoning for Sampsons parentage:

Sampson first appeared in the records of Edgecombe County when he witnessed a 
sale of land in November 1757.  On March 21, 1760, he bought from Richard 
Bracewell, Sr., a 119 acre plantation on the south bank of the Tar River, 
adjoining James Bracewell and said Richard Bracewell.  87 acres of this tract 
were part of a tract granted to Francis Griss bearing date June 8, 1739.  Another 
part of the tract granted to Francis Grise was purchased from Thomas Grise of 
Johnston County on October 30, 1762 by James Bracewell.  The sale was witnessed 
by Sampson, Solomon and Richard Bracewell ( DB 1-477 ).

Sampson is not heard from again until his father died leaving a will dated 
December 7, 1767 and probated in January Court in 1772.  Sampson's father, 
Richard, left him the land on the Tar River and Nahunta Path.  Other children 
mentioned in the will were:  James, Solomon, Richard, William, Sarah, Mary and 
ELizabeth ( WB 4-193 )

This Sampson was the father of Richard Bracewell who married Charity Scarborough, 
daughter of Ephraim Scarborough of Edgecombe County, NC, and Sampson Bracewell 
who married Elizabeth Scarborough, daughter of William Scarborough ( brother of 
Ephraim ).

In a deed record, dated December 14, 1795, in Edgecombe County, NC, it gives 
Sampson Bracewell of Washington County, Georgia, as son of Richard Bracewell, 
deceased ( DB 8-548 ).  Laurens County, Georgia was formed from Washington 
County.

Sampson died between 1813 - 1818 based upon a deed recorded in DB G-75 of Laurens 
County, Georgia.  The record shows Sampson, son of Sampson Bracewell, and his 
wife Elizabeth selling 366 acres to John R Irvin, date January 31, 1818.  300 
acres of this tract had been granted originally to John Stokes, by him to 
Deactron Davis, by him to Benjamin Harrison and by him to Sampson Bracewell by 
deed April 21, 1803.  Sampson and his wife, Elizabeth had received this land as 
legatees of Sampson Bracewell deceased.

So....what do you think ?

  Your Richard is probably the brother of my Sampson Bracewell of Laurens 
County Georgia who married Elizabeth Scarborough, daughter of William 
Scarborough.  I based this on the will of William who names Sampson as an 
heir.  And on land records that give Sampson's wife name as Elizabeth.

  According to fellow Bracewell researchers, Ray Tarpley and Ron 
Bracewell, Richard and Charity Scarborough Bracewell had 4 children:
James who married Elizabeth Butler, Richard who married first Lucinda 
Spears and second Ms. Allen, Wiley who married Aggie Doorman, and William 
who married Elizabeth Stephens.  Richard had a second wife, Winnifred 
Carlisle, and they had 2 sons: Kindred and Allen.

  My Sampson married Elizabeth Scarborough and they had 5 children:
Mary who married Jethro Judson Weaver, Elizabeth who married Reason 
Spell, William Sampson who married Ridley Hilliard, Eliza who married 
David McDaniel, and Seabron Asbury who married Roxann A. Wolfe ( my 3 
great grandparents ).

  It is believed, because of age differences in the census, that Sampson 
married a second time and had several more children.

  Ray and Ron give Sampson Bracewell and Miss Moore of North Carolina as 
the parents of my Sampson and your Richard Bracewell.  

Looking forward to shareing ideas with you,

Theresa

Dear Cousin Joyce,
   I see "The Force" is still with you in genealogy, especially Bracewell
genealogy!
What a find you have  in Theresa!   

   Would you ask your genealogist friend, Desmond Allen, if he is of any
relation to  SQUIRE, or "ESQUIRE" ALLEN , b.c.1765 in Kentucky, pioneered
Johnson Co., Illinois and several in Missouri & Arkansas before settling down
in Saline County where he died 11-25-1842, followed by his wife, MARTHA T. on
10-9-1843.

   Again, congratulations on the "lucky" sleuthing!

Joyce,

I would be delighted to verify or disprove my existing lines.  I am like 
you, the most important thing is to gather the facts and reach the 
correct conclusion.  Open discussions is one of the best ways to find 
holes in my logic.

I am in the process of building a new home, sign the papers this week.  
The next 3 - 6 months are going to be hectic with building, packing, 
moving, unpacking, etc.  Please be patient and bear with me !!!

Theresa in Lakeland, FL

I was just curious about other Braswells.
The only other Braswells that I have heard
of, other than my family, have been Afro
American. I am 21 yrs old and I believe
most of my family came from Georgia.
There is also a relation with the
Hawthornes. They had something to do
with blazing the Hawthorne trail somewhere
in Georgia.

Hello Jim,
	My father will be there, and he told me it is going to be on April 6th,
the first Sunday in April.  I really wish I could make it, but he said
he'd collect information for me.  If you would like more information,
his name is Bill Bracewell and you can e-mail him at
mailto:gladys@voyageronline.net

	His wife's name is Gladys, and I'm sure he has all the specific
details.  I hope you have fun!!

I have a Jacob Burton Braswell in my pedigree chart who married Martha
Herndon. Martha Herndon was born September 20, 1842 in Winston, Alabama and
died March 12, 1934 in St. Louis, Missouri. Martha was the daughter of Joel
Herndon and Sarah Denning. This Herndon line settled in Texas County,
Missouri area. Does any of this ring any bells with you. I am from
Springfield, Mo originally. Live in Washington state now.

          I was wondering if you had gotten my message about a lady 
          trying to find out about Dempsey Braswell.  She's not online 
          but was using a public library computer, and she had seen my 
          name on the Nansemond, VA query re Braswells.  I'd like to 
          help her, but I really don't have any information on him.  
          Any help from any of you would be much appreciated.  Thanks

Tim,
Thanks for contacting me about these Braswells we have in common.
Unfortunately, I've been swamped and haven't been able to write even a
brief reply. I'm excited about working with you to sort our families out.

I descend from William and Martha's daughter, Lucreasy Braswell who married
William Williams. They had two children who also married Braswells and the
entire extended family moved to middle Tennessee in about 1803. Samuel
Williams, son of Lucreasy & William married Sarah Braswell, the daughter of
Samuel Braswell and Sarah (Hunt?). (Samuel was the son of William Braswell
and Margaret) who were also the parents of the William who married Martha.
Is this tangled enough for you? It is for me. My double Braswell line means
double the trouble for me? :-)

It appears that I might have Hunt ancestry too. We think that the wife of
Samuel was the daughter of Jesse Hunt and Sarah Long, but we can't prove it
yet. Do you have information on your Hunt ancestors? They probably link
with my supposed line. -Nona

Well, I'm not sure.

Here's what I know on Jacobs in Alabama.  According to the Arkansas 1911
Census of Confederate Veterans, v. 1 (1977), p. 58 a Jacob BRASWELL
appeared.   He states the following:

He was born 10 Apr 1841 in Manning Co., AL.  In Warren, AR he married 24 Apr
1873 to Rebecca ST. JOHN, dau. of James Monroe and Elizabeth [?] ST. JOHN.
Rebecca was Jacob's 2nd wife and he doesn't name first one.  His children
were: Delia Celester (m. __ HUTCHISON), Bennie Carr, Parvin (m. Hattie ___),
Irene (m. Louis STOVER), Carson, and Owens.

Jacob was the son of Jacob BRASWELL, who was born in Smith Co., TN, and the
grandson of Robin BRASWELL.

This is all I have on a Jacob.  However, there were many BRASWELL families
in Alabama, many of whom came from North Carolina via middle Tennessee.

Robin of course is the son of William and Martha BRASWELL of Nash Co., NC.

Hope this helps and happy hunting,

Nona, 

I've been looking for the book "Hunt Family Records" by Ida Brooks Kellam (with no 
luck so far.)  Apparently she discusses the Braswell-Hunt connection in detail (at 
least Judah Braswell and William Hunt.)  I don't have anything on a Sarah Hunt 
(Samuel Braswell's wife?), but I suspect Jesse Hunt may be a cousin (or 
otherwise related?) to William Hunt.  I've found a few records linking all three 
William Hunt, Jesse Hunt and Samuel Braswell in transactions.  William's father, 
Henry Hunt, came to NC from VA and purchased land with Thomas Hunt (his 
brother?)  I have more on this Henry Hunt's family.  If your interested, let me know.  
 

Thanks, Tim Wilson

Keith:  Just a note of appreciation for the work you have done for all 
our kin.  I do read most of the stuff that I find in my mail box and find it 
very interesting.  I'm just not in a spot right now where I can spend the 
time accumulating and composing.  But I do appreciate having the 
information accessable and the fun time most are having and sharing in 
their postings  keep me in touch.... and envious.  Maybe soon....

Again, many thanks for your fine work.      Marilyn

Dear Cousin,
   The identity of the Rev. ROBERT BRACEWELL (1611-1668), his children and
legitimate grandchildren in seventeenth century Isle of Wight County,
Virginia, will be proved by appropriate documentation in forthcoming editions
of the Braswell Website.
Suffice to say for now that the name of the immigrant's wife or wives is
unknown, but the unfaithful wife of his eldest son, ROBERT, Jr. (b.c.1650)
has been shown by circumstantial evidence to have been one SUSANNAH BURGESS
(Will, 1714). Less compelling  evidence suggests that the wife of his younger
brother, RICHARD BRACEWELL (c.1652-1725) was SARAH VALENTINE. In any case,
her Christian name was definitely SARAH, not REBECCA, which was the name of
one of their daughters, the wife of WILLIAM WEST.  Most of us in this
research descend from RICHARD & SARAH VALENTINE(?) BRACEWELL. 

CAREY BRACEWELL

To whom it may concern,
               I got your address from Cyndi's genealogy web sites and wanted
to see if you could help me. I am looking for info on some family member but
they spell their last name Brasuell. I thought this might be the same line. I
have an Aaron Brasuell who married Mary D. McLarty. Their child is Thelma
Elaine Brasuell who married Guy Lythian Henderson. If any of these names ring
a bell with you, I would deeply appreciate any info that you may be able to
give me. Thank you very much, Kikki

Dear Cousins,
   In order to quiet certain controversies about relationships within our
original family in Isle of Wight County,Virginia, the following information
(with appropriate I of W county record citations) is offered:

1.  Rev. ROBERT BRACEWELL (1611-1668), The Immigrant, died a widower and his
wife's name was never mentioned in any extant American record. His will
mentions no wife (Will & Deed Book 1, p. 52) and the account current on his
estate (WD 1, Vol. 2, p.81) shows that REBECCA BAGNALL IZARD (Mother-in-law
to his daughter, ANN BRACEWELL BAGNALL(c.1653-c.1682) performed the
administrative duties that would normally have devolved to the widow, had
there been one.

2.  ROBERT BRACEWELL, JR. (c.1650-1696+) had no legitimate heirs of record. 
His wife, SUSANNAH was nee BURGESS, as proved by MARY BURGESS SKINNER's
acknowledgement of April 20, 1669 (Surry Co DB 1, p. 332) and the will of
JOYCE CRIPPS (WD 1, Vol. 2, p.202) in which she "cut off with a shilling" one
"SHUSAN BRASWELL my Sisters Daughter." That SUSANNAH's children were sired by
"Commoner" RICHARD TOWLE is proved by the latter's 1692 will in which he
leaves his small estate to "my three youngest children of SUSANNA BRASWELL"
(WD1, Vol. 2, p. 323). 

3.  ROBERT BRACEWELL, Jr. and his younger brother, RICHARD (c.1652-1725) sold
off their Isle of Wight inheritance from their father as soon as they came of
age in the mid-1670's and removed to Nansemond County, nearby. The records
from that county and period were lost in a courthouse fire. RICHARD took his
wife, but ROBERT left his behind, and only returned once (of record) to give
his "wife" SUSANNAH a power of attorney to answer suits in Isle of Wight (DB
1, p. 202). We may infer that SUSANNAH was something of a  Xanthippe or
runaround , not only from her own behavior, but  from the checkered marital
career of her mother, MARY FLAKE BURGESS,{"Every woman becomes her mother" as
the truism goes.} who was beaten so badly  by her husband, JOHN COLLINS, in
1694, that she required SUSANNAH BRASWELL's  and BRIDGET LEWIS' personal care
to recover (DB 1, Orders 1693-1695, pp. 50-51). 

4.  RICHARD BRACEWELL's wife was named SARAH, not REBECCA. Every record
signed by RICHARD & wife (beginning with RICHARD & SARAH BRACEWEll to THOMAS
GREEN, 2-7-1674: WD 1, Vol. 1, p. 307) right down to SARAH's own will (Will
Book 4, p. 64. Signed March 20, 1734) renders her name as "Sarah" and nothing
else.  Circumstantial evidence suggests that her maiden name was VALENTINE.
 Any documentary proof of her derivation from this FFV (First Family of
Viriginia) is presumed to have burned with one or the other Tidewater county
courthouses.  There is nothing to support the contention that it was
"Sampson", "Bryant", or anything else. 

5.  This researcher has never had contact with any "Bracewell-Towle"
descendant although some do remain in Isle of Wight County to this day. The
line seemed to have declined rapidly after 1700, slipping into poverty and
obscurity, and contributed few, if any, settlers to North Carolina. Therefore
the vast majority of us descend from RICHARD and SARAH VALENTINE(?)
BRACEWELL.

Dear Cousin Richard,
   Thanks a million for your recent E-letter. You have added to my store of
information on our family, for which I am truly grateful!

   Based on what you shared, OBEDIENCE BRASWELL HALL's birthyear should be
preceeded by "c" or "Circa" 1763. Pal Spencer & I worked out that estimate
years ago. And OBEDIENCE was surely born in Orange County, North Carolina,
not Wilkes, where she married DAVID HALL.  (Her family moved to
Anson/Montgomery Co in 1769, to Wilkes c. 1781, with their pacifist
Quaker/Baptist brethren to stay clear of the Revolutionary War fighting that
had then shifted South. Thank goodness your DAVID HALL was a redblooded
patriot, for his pension application supplied us with information on the
family's whereabouts and doings  during this critical period that has proved
invaluable!  

   I share your frustration about the dearth of SNOW information.  The ONLY
source of information that names this as OBEDIENCE BRASWELL's  maiden name
was my maiden Aunt Laura Brazil (1869-1953). Laura, who was
visually-impaired, was the family historian of her generation, and  a great
collector of oral tradition.  She always said that the maiden names of my
gggg- and ggg-grandparents, taken together, made "SNOW-WHITE". Well, the
WHITE checked out (JEMIMA WHITE, 1764-c.1841), but I could never link
OBEDIENCE with the SNOWs, but  believe me, I tried!
The SNOW family of North Carolina included many Quaker branches and were
centered in Perquimins County in the Albemarle Sound region where RICHARD
BRACEWELL married his OBEDIENCE  around 1745. Since this would have been an
"out of Meeting" (non-Quaker) marriage, there is no mention of it in any
Quaker records I have seen, and you know how fragmentary civil records are
for  that period. 
RICHARD's father, VALENTINE, was so poor that he left no extant records that
would have linked his family with the SNOWs. {Cf. Edgecombe DB5, p.462 of
March 4, 1744, in which SAMPSON WILLIAMS sold SAMUEL WILLIAMS 320 acres on
the north side of Tar River "whereon VALENTINE BRASWELL now lives", no doubt
part of the impetus to VAL to pioneer the Piedmont--Orange County--shortly
thereafter.}
So you see, Cousin, the SNOW connection is based on heresay only. It
frustrates me further that this connection has been accepted as proven fact,
and the (?) has been dropped from SNOW. It is probably true--but not proven.

Hello -

Perhaps you have already seen it but if not, the following article appeared
in the Tulsa Tribune last week under a section titled "News Written For the
New Reader"


CHURCH'S ORGAN IS 300 YEARS OLD

Smithfield, Va, may have the world's oldest chamber organ. 

It's in the historic St.Luke's Church.  Experts say it's the oldest English
chamber organ in America.  It may be the oldest in the world.

The church was built in 1632.  The organ was shipped from England in the
1950s, when the church was restored.

Experts say the organ may be as old as the original church.  

The wooden pipes are still in perfect condition.  But the bellows are worn
out.  That's the part of the organ that supplies the wind to make the sound. 

Church officials and experts are trying to decide whether to restore the
organ.  The outside has been restored.  But the inside needs work to make the
organ playable again. 

The organ came to Virginia from Norfolk, England.  It originally was in
Hunstanton Hall, the home of Nicholas and Roger LeStrange/  A family
inventory in 1630 listed the organ.

Keith Braswell

Fellow List members,
============== Here is Debbie's note: ===================
Hello Braswells! My name is Debbie Henry from North Little Rock, Arkansas.
I am trying to find out anything I can about my Great Grandfather.  His
name was Nathan Braswell. We know he was born in 1831 and possibly came
from South Carolina. He was a whopping 62 when he married Jane Hooks Hinsey
in 1893.  I would love to hear from someone if anyone knows anything.  By
the way, I was astonished to find so many Braswells.  Here in Arkansas,
there aren't that many. At least outside of our family.

My e-mail address is DHENRY@UAEX.EDU.

Dear Cousin Debbie,
   I checked my index to nineteenth century Arkansas Braswells,which contains
several hundred names, but found no NATHAN. Do you know when he arrived in
Arkansas?  My records are by no means definitive for any but those of the
first Braswells in Arkansas, the family of RICHARD BRAZIL (1759-1842){my
ggg-gf} who pioneered Saline County in the l820's and his brother, WILLIAM
BRASWELL (c.1766-c.1855) who pioneered Carroll County in the l830's.  Are you
aware that "Braswell" is a variant of the original English surname,
"Bracewell", albeit the one preferred by at least 85% of the lineal
descendants of Rev. Robert Bracewell, 1611-1668, the Immigrant ancestor to
most of us?  Any of 56 or so spellings that say "brasul" or
"brazul" is one of ours. But not BREAZEALE!

   I'm impressed by your grandpa NATHAN's vigor, however my branch can top
that:
the abovementioned RICHARD remarried at 83 {to a mere lassy  of 66 named JANE
CARPENTER, nextdoor in Saline Co. in 1841}.   You can read about my lineage
on the Braswell Web page under "Braswell genealogists".  Happy hunting!

This is great, we are searching for Brashall, Brassell, Breazeale,
Braziel.  The first known is Henry Brashall in Va., about 1649.  The
family went on to the Carolinas, made the move across the southern
states to Mississippi, then on East Texas and Central Texas.  Have
found very few folks researching this line.

Foy, my name as traced to my G Grand Father Aaron Brazzell was 
mispelled many times, as Brazil, Brassell, end even Braswell. My GG 
Grandfather came from TN: I'm guessing Sumner Co. TN to Clark County ,
 IN where a son was born in 1846 named Martin Luther  Brazzell and 
his mother was Anna Lints. The story by my G Grandmother as told by 
her husband was  that the family originally came from Germany and 
were workers in Brass.  Could this be the origin of Braswell and do 
you think there is a connection between  Braswell and  Brazzell. Did 
most of the immigrates from Germany travel through France and to 
England before coming to America?

Hi Foy,

My name is Rebecca Lee, Im looking for A Braswell by the name of
Geogiania that married a Clarence (Hinton) Brown in 1877 they were born
somewhere around 1850-1855 and had a son by the name of Mark Clarence
Brown and that married Florence Corbett in 1911. From what I have found
out Clarence actually married Georgiania under the name of Hinton, so I
don't know if he had been adopted or what happened there but when his
son got married his name was written as Clarence Brown on the marriage
cert. and also his sons last name is Brown. Anyway I don't know quite
what is going on but if you might know anything about this particular
line could you email me back? 

Thank you,

Rebecca

Max,
I think your Aaron Braswell (or spelling variation) comes from my Braswell
- Williams family. I have an Aaron Braswell who married Nancy Williams. I
believe they moved from Tennessee to Madison Co., Missouri by 1850. Does
that sound right? They apparently had a large family but I only have the
names of a few of their children. Do you have a full list? -Nona

Hi Keith,
I have sent you a couple of messages and haven't heard from you, I'm
concerned that my server may not be working probably.  Please let me know
if you have received my gedcom files, sent about a week ago.  Thanks  Karen

PS  There are a couple of ? I have concerning the sources of the data on
Elijah, JD and Elijah Thomas.  I'm just curious as to what your sources for
B,D and marriage info on these guys?  I have just received the death
certificate on ET and Minnie.  The death date on Elijah T is the same one
you have but the birth date is July 15,(you have the 10) 1958.  

Do you have any information on James Ward Braswell?  I am also researching
the WARD family and was just wondering.  Talk later, Karen

Foy & Nona,
Pls. forget any referenceto Martin Luther Brazzell born in Clark 
County, IN. After talking to Sister inlaw who researched the 
informmation. She thinks that Aaron Braswell=Brazzell traveled from 
Tn to Clay County, IN where his entire family was  born. Sorry for  
this wives tale.
Aaron Braswell=Brazzell Married Anna M. Lints in Tennessee and moved 
to Clay County, IN. It  is believed that both Aaron and Anna M. Lints 
were born in Tennessee. The 1840 Census shows Aaron and Anna M Lints 
living in Clay County, In.  It is also believed that Aaron was buried 
in Jackson Twp., Clay Co., Ind about 1848-1850.   Anna M. Lints 
traveled to Ill. after hes Aaron's death and I have no further 
informationn after that.  Below is a list of chiildren. Spelling as 
shown on cenus records
Brazzell, Elizabeth born 1839
Braswell, William    "      1840  Married Mariah no marriage date
Braswell, John        "     1842  Died during Civil War
Braswell, Allen        "     1845
Brazzell, Martin Luther    9-30-1846  died 9-11-1925 Riley, IN 
Married Lacey, Elizabeth True 10-12-1871
Braswell, Susanah born 1849 Married Robert A. Taylor 12-9-1873
Thank you both for your kind help and I hope some of this info will 
help you in your endeavors.
Nona, I believe you connected Aaron to his family.  This is the only 
good info I've had about Aaron.
Thank you.

Max S. Brazzell

My Name is Billy Bob Bert Brazell, age 57, have been chasing dead 
relatives since I was a kid.  My linage goes back to James Brazell b 
1787 in NC somewhere. The Census shows that he moved to Georgia. He 
married Rachel Yergan and they had at least seven children, Merrill 
B.,Jabez, Arseneth, Mary Ann, Eliza Jane, Cynthia & Malachi.  They were 
born in Georgia, later they moved to Alabama and so did he. He died in 
the 1850's. Merrill B. and his wife Alamaria (maiden name unknown at 
this time) had at least nine children, the first born were twin sons, 
Dale & William Monroe.  They were fortunate to survive the War of the 
Northern Aggression.  William Monroe served a few months in the CSA at 
the close of the war, most of it in a Yankee prison. The Brazell twins 
and a sister married siblings of the Robert Cunningham family and 
migrated to Hood County Texas in the 1880's.

I am looking for the parantage of James and Rachel and their story.
You never know, maybe the spellings of the name was different in the mid 
to late 18th century, as most people were illiterate.

I have enjoyed reading your archives of letters of 
Braswell/Bracewell/Brazil/and more....researching the genealogys.

My GEDCOM files were sent under a seperate E-Mail

Looking for ancestors of PATIENCE BRASWELL, who married  Charles Harrington
Junior (1748 - 1797) sometime around 1768.  Charles was born in Edgcombe
County NC and died in Chatham County.  I believe PATIENCE
was from Chatham since children were born there.

Kikki,

Yes, I think with a spelling like BRASUELL that you've come to the right
list and should subscribe.

These names do not ring a bell with me, although, there are several Aaron
BRASWELLs of various spellings in various locales.

It would be helpful to other genealogists if you could provide at least one
place name in the query and the more the better.  You might try reposting
with a little more information as to where they were and where you think
they might have come from.  Then repost every few months to see if anyone
has uncovered information or has recently joined the list and might know.

Hi fellow list members,

I have been following the messages for a few weeks now and decided to throw
my ancestors into the ring to see if anyone can make any connections to my
lineage.  Here goes!

My GGG grandmother was Nancy A. BRASWELL, born 10 Nov 1838 in TN, married
James M. STEARNS c 1865 in Jackson Co. IL, died 13Apr 1884 in Makanda Twp.
Jackson Co. IL.

I found her listed in the 1850 & 1860 US Census in Hopkins Co. KY residing
with John HUBBARD and his wife Permelia.  The family included 3 Braswells,
Nancy A., Louisa C. born c 1840, and Lean born c 1845, along with several
Hubbard children.  My assumption from these records is that Permelia was
perhaps widowed from the unknown Mr. Braswell and married John Hubbard c
1845-48.  There are several Hubbard children too old to be hers, presumably
his from a prior marriage and several younger ones, the offspring of their
union.  All of the children with the Hubbard name are listed as born in KY,
all of the Braswells in TN. 

Permelia (I believe this is the correct spelling, also listed as Peruesa
and Perneca) is listed as born in NC or SC, c 1820.  I also came across a
birth record for Permelia Hubbard, parents listed as John Hubbard and _
Braswell dated 25 Sep 1855 in Hopkins Co. KY so I am pretty confident of
the spelling.  (This would be one of their later children.)

My theory is that Permelia married a Braswell, perhaps in NC or SC, they
migrated to TN and/or KY, where he died c 1845-48 and she then remarried as
spelled out above.  If anyone can provide me with any ancestral links from
this info it will be much appreciated.  Thanks!

Bob Carpenter   (rcarpent@monroe.lib.mi.us)

Kim,
It is possible than Vincent Braswell was a son of Aaron, since he's of the
right age. Census records can be wrong about birth dates, so I wouldn't
rule it out if the ages aren't an exact match. 

I've been abstracting some Warren Co., TN plat records (see my brand new
web page at htttp://www.backporch.com  and I have the following Lusk names
in the index of the first book: James, J.D., John D., Samuel, Thomas, and
William. Could any of these be your Lisk family? In the first plat book the
only Braswells I found were Sampson and William (I'm working on Vol. 2
now). 

Sampson Braswell and Aaron Braswell were brothers-in-law, and I'm still
trying to determine if they were related in other ways. I know who the
parents of Sampson were, but I haven't located the parents of Aaron yet.

Nona,
Hi . . . I have made some progress on my tree, and was looking through old
e-mail hoping to make a connection.  I was wondering about Aaron BRASWELL
and Nancy WILLIAMS.
My great-grandfather, Samuel H. BRASWELL was the son of Vincent BRASWELL
and Lucinda LISK.  I found them in 1850 Census of Robertson County,
Tennessee then in the 1860 & 1870 Census they were in Hopkins County,
Kentucky.  Vincent was killed in 1864 in the war.  Vincent was born in 1827
in Warren County (?), Tennessee.  I was wondering could Vincent be a son of
Aaron and Nancy?  (1830 Census of Warren County, Tennessee) The only other
possibility I found might be Jacob BRASWELL  in Henderson County,
Tennessee?  I also found that Vincent was living with the LISK family in
1850, maybe his family had moved away?  (Vincent later married the Lisk's
oldest daughter Lucinda.)  Any help will be greatly appreciated . . .

Dear Cousin Gayle,
   Please excuse my delay in answering your messages...I've been very busy
every spare moment at my Hill Country farm on some projects that simply can't
wait. I'm way behind on all my correspondence......

   No, I do not believe this guy is a Braswell.Neither is the WILLIAM BUSSEL
who bought 2.2.3 worth of stuff from the estate of JAMES ENDSLEY of Surry
Co., 1777.
Thank you for the copy of Endsley's Inventory, but we cannot turn this Bussel
into a Braswell. The handwriting unequivocably says BUSSEL. 

   I will answer all your letters when I can set aside time to do them
justice: I have a real "thing" about polite correspondence, especially always
answering people's questions. E-mail is a wonderful convenience after "snail
mail" but I regret that some people take these exchanges too casually, in my
view, as evidenced by a carelessness in not responding to questions.
Naturally I don't mean you or any of the other important Braswell researchers
on this site......

CAREY

Debbie Clinton Comments:

This is my first e-mail, so I need a lot of help and suggestions.  I am a
descendant of Rev. Bracewell, or Braswell of Virginia.  Once I get more
comfortable with this e-mail stuff, I will perhaps be able to add my tree.
All help will be appreciated.  Thanks.

Braswell subscribers,

Please bear with me.  I can't get the Mailer-Daemon to send this personally
to Kim on her Vincent BRASWELL.  So I'm sending it out to the list.

Subject: Why did Rich. BRASWELL immigrate?
X-UIDL: 9cd0d5f5ba81090c901e657be4a499cd

Well, I'm not sure if anyone knows at this late date unless a diary can be
found.  But I can hazard a couple of guesses that might not be too far off:

1) Since he went to Oxford and then into the clergy, I think it can be
assumed he was from a pretty well-to-do family, but not the ever-important
first born son.  That generally left two options for non-first born children
of well to do families--the clergy or the military (unless they could land
themselves a rich heiress).  Once here, our BRASWELL ancestor accumulated
quite a nice bit of land.

2) The need for clergy in the New World would also assure him of a job.

This I'd say, he immigrated purely for economic and social reasons.

Anyone else have any thoughts on this matter?

Dear Cousin Bill,
   Welcome!  I am intrigued by your enigmatic note: you descend from RICHARD
BRACEWELL (c.1530-c.1561)-----of Grantham Parish, Lincoln, I presume?
Therefore 
of Rev. ROBERT BRACEWELL (1611-1668) of London & Isle of Wight County,
Virginia?  In that case, the answer to your question about immigration
motivation is simple: Rev. ROBERT was an Anglican vicar and graduate of
Oxford University, then as now a Loyalist center. The unconscionable act  of
beheading Charles I in 1649 by Cromwell's Parliament {and the strong
likelihood that ROBERT lost his sinecure about the same time Charles lost his
head} was doubtless motivation enough for our ancestor to undertake  the
perilous voyage to still-Loyalist Virginia Colony. N.B. that his first
 extant American record dates from April, 1650. {If I sound like a "pompous
ass", Bill, please excuse; I'm an ex-professor and I just talk this way.
<grin>}

Dear Cousin Lucy,
   Thanks for the cc of your good reply to Cousin Kim in Waco and the nice
remarks 
about our genealogical association..... Naturally I'm all ears about your
latest finds on the JOHN BRASWELL connection.....

   I havn't lost interest lately, but have been seduced  by a new one, a new
John Deere tractor, actually: I believe I told you about my place in the Hill
Country--75 acres. Well it's now being reduced to 50 acres {more like what I
can personally manage!} by virtue of sale of two tracts to two friends, other
couples. We are setting up a retirement/survival/intentional spritual
community type corporation. The new tractor is one of the first fruits of
that and I'm lovin' it! {A little boy/guy thing, you understand. <g>}  As
soon as I'm back on genealogy more deligently, one of the first things I'm
going to do is contact your Dad. Already have a local cousin promising to
share the 
Family Tree software.....I'll bet your Dad has some useful pointers.....

    Counting the days, eh? These are the longest, I  remember. Best of luck
with the eminent new addition! 

Carey

Cousin Carey,

I just doubled checked SSDI and their home page seems to have changed but it
works.   My URL says:  http://206.27.137.18/ssdi   Then click on "Detective
Agency."  The program is very name sensitive.  For MELVIN THOMAS BOYD, use
MELVIN BOYD.  The first name only, works, not M. THOMAS, THOMAS, or TOM in
most cases.  I tried that and got 51 hits.  It may or may not show a
location.  Sometimes the location is where the SS card was issued and
sometimes it may be where he was living when he died.  There are several
possibilities in the 51 hits.  

There is also a government operated SSDI database but I don't remember the
address off-hand.  It could be ftp://ftp.census.gov  - but you would have to
dig deeper.  That base allows simple searches only (name).  I guess I should
publish my list of favorite genealogy sites on the web as I have quite a few.
 I saw on CNN today about access to SS on the net being suspended for 60 days
but you can still find out info by mail.  Evidentally, the database above is
a private venture.

According to my sources, William Barjonah Braswell chose or was nicknamed
 "Jonas" (not Jonah) to distinguish himself from all the other Williams in
NC.  I have several leads as to his parents (including  yours) but haven't
devoted enough time to it yet.

It was good to see you on the net again.  I was beginning to think that
genealogy was a summer time sport.  My 80 year old first cousin from NY is
visiting me and we just got back from visiting 3 more first cousins in
Branson, MO.  They are in their late 80's.  Now I have quite a few anecdotes
and facts to add to our family history.  They were delighted to hear about
"Polly's Folly" and horrified that a Braswell shot Sheriff Pat Garrett.  Also
we identified more of the old photos I inherited when my last aunt died.
Identified were pictures of my father as a boy of about 14 and my grandfather
Braswell in a suit and derby.  I only remembered him wearing overalls.

Cousin Foy

Foy,
I'm working on a web site which will include my entire lineage with
footnotes (I hope - the task seems monumental). Anyhow, by this weekend I
hope to have the information about my Williams lines ready to upload and
then I want to add the Braswells the following weekend. 

Anyhow, the reason I'm contacting you right now is to ask if you'd let me
use your list of favorite genealogy web sites. I would like to post them on
my new web site for others to use.

I've been silent lately because I was working on the newsletter which
should go out today or tomorrow (I need to get stamps and stick them on).

Eventually on my new web site I would like to link all Braswells known &
proved to be related to my line in such a way that people can follow the
links, see the relationships and read the footnotes which will provide
source documentation.

This is not intended as competition to Keith's site. Mine will include all
my other lines as well and I don't plan to have a discussion group like
Keith's.

I don't have anything on the site yet so won't mention the URL at this
time. I'll send it to the list when it has something on it. -Nona

Attached is my Genealogy Favorite Places.  I have put it in ASCII DOS Text.
 Let me know if this is the best format so I can correct it for you if
necessary and then put it on the Braswell net.

Dear Keith,
I am new to the list and have just uploaded my family file
to the list.  I keep getting my own message back.  is that because I am a
subscriber to the list?  If so, I apologize for sending it twice!

Another thing is I downloaded the archives that are supposed to be
through 27-MAR-1997 (I think) and the last one I got was dated
21-FEB-1997.  Is this correct?

One more thing---on your web page are some gedcoms that I also
downloaded.  the only one I could not get was for
Michael L. Brasuell.  At the end of the upload I get a message "unable to
launch external viewer Error code=16.

I would really like to see his gedcom since his surname
is spelled the same as mine.  Any suggestions will be greatly
appreciated.  Thanks for this opportunity to meet other Braswell
researchers.

Sincerely,
La Vera Caruthers

I have found a clue about the parents of my 3d ggf William Barjonah "Jonas"
Braswell.   I just bought some CD's on sale from Family Tree Maker.  The
World Family Tree CD Vol. 5 contains a Tree No. 0745.  This tree starts with
Rev. Robert Bracewell and goes through William Barjonah Braswell and his
children.  The tree isn't very specific on dates but most names match up with
what I know.  I can correspond with FTM and find the name and address of the
donor and then ask about the sources.  According to this tree, the parents of
Jonas is Richard Braswell/Elizabeth Bryant.  The line would go like this:

Rev. Robert Bracewell/Rebecca ?
Richard/Sarah ?
Robert/Sarah ?
Richard/Elizabeth Bryant
William Barjonah/?

(?) Tree 0745 has Jonas' wife as Sarah Mace and I have Nancy Humphries.  He
could have had two (or more).  I believe that the Edgecombe Co. will of
Richard Braswell, 7 Dec. 1767, mentions a William.  I am starting to recheck
my records and previous email from the Braswell net.

Any information, verification or opinions would be welcome.  If anyone on the
Braswell Net sent in the tree, 'fess up.

One of my subscribers has been accepted into the Jamestowne Society on the
basis of Rev. Robert Braswell having been a Burgess for a short period of
time. She says that in the past they've denied membership on this ancestor
because Rev. Braswell wasn't a Burgess for very long, but recently they've
relented and she's now proving her ancestry to him for membership.
Apparently, this is a very exclusive organization, so you must have a
qualifying ancestor and a member of the Jamestowne Society must sponsor
your membership and you must offer convincing evidence of your link to that
ancestor.

I'll write more about this on my website and add a link to the Jamestowne
Society's web site (see next message from me for details).

I've finally uploaded my genealogy (direct lines and lots of branches) to
my new web site which is located at http://www.surfnetusa.com/nonasw

I planned to add detailed source notes before posting this to the public,
but that proved to be a very time consuming task so I decided to post it as
is and update it with more source information as time permits. 

If you spot any errors please let me know and if your lineage links to
mine, I'd be delighted to add your branch and a link to your email address
and/or web site.

This was my first upload and I haven't tested it extensively so please
accept my apology if there are any links that don't work. I saved time by
not adding links back to the main page, but please keep in mind that you
can use the "back" button on your browser to go back.

Soon I'll be adding links from Foy's favorite genealogy sites on the web
and a link to the Jamestowne Society and any other useful information I
locate.

For any who share my Braswell-Williams line, I've already added extensive
source notes for the Williams families.

If I've made any mistakes on the Braswell lineage, please be kind, but
please do inform me so I don't perpetuate any myths or mistakes. Thank you.
-Nona 

My old email address of rof@backporch.com still works but my new email
address is nonasw@surfnetusa.com and it corresponds to my new web site.

Dear Cousin Foy,
   I can identify with your excitement at the prospect of solving the lineage
of your WILLIAM BARJONAH BRASWELL and hope that this lead pans out. The
generation spacing looks right: WB would likely have been the 5th American
generation from the Immigrant (counting each as 28-30 years and RICHARD &
SARAH VALENTINE(?)BRACEWELL as the 1st, those born in the 1750's were, for
the most part, 5th generation, exactly as given.    Having checked your
records, you are no doubt aware by now that RICHARD BRASWELL (Edgecombe will,
1767) did indeed have a son, WILLIAM--hopefully your WILLIAM BARJONAH.

   I note that your source has Rev. ROBERT married to a "REBECCA?". Let us
please quash this canard once and for all! His wife's (or wives?) name is
unknown, but if we were to SPECULATE about it, it would more likely have been
ANN inasmuch as he had more granddaughters (legitimate and otherwise) bearing
that name than any other. Fact is, we'll probably never know her name,
because all the extant colonial Virginia Bracewell records have been
meticulously examined without finding a hint of her identity. 

   From earlier letters, I noted your penchant for Braswell statistics.
Here's a study I did sometime near the end of the last Ice Age {but still
useful, I think...<grin>} on the number of Rev. Robert's legitimate Braswell
descendants in the South, per generation, up to 1790:

   Generation 1: c.1650.....5  (the children of the Immigrant)
                     2:  c.1680....9  (RICHARD & SARAH VALENTINE(?)'s brood
                     3: c.1710....15
                     4: c. 1740....35
                     5: c. 1770....80
By 1790, and the eve of the 6th generation,  the 5th generation had produced
a living extended family, still centered in the Tar River Valley, of about
160 Braswells of both
sexes. So you see there must have been an exponential expansion of our family
between the time of the French & Indian War and the Federalist Period. Not
that this solves any individual pedigree problems but it is interesting, I
think, and gives some 
insight into our research parameters.

Hi cousin. Pretty cool website.

My grandparents did a lot of research in the 1960s and gave the
following family history. They traced only the line that led to our
family:

First generation: Rev Robert Bracewell born in England in about 1605
(son of Richard Bracewell, gentlemen of London), educated at Oxford,
came to Jamestowne area of Virginia in 1630 with sister Rebecca. He
bought 300 acres from John Upton and became parson of lower parish, Isle
of Wight County. Briefly served in House of Burgesses in 1653. Died in
1668.

Children were: Jane Stokes (or Stokers),  Rebecca West, Robert Braswell
(married Susanna), Richard Braswell, Ann Bagnall.

Second generation: Richard Braswell (married Sarah, will dated 1724).
Children were Richard, Robert, Valentine, Jacob, Mariah Murphy,  Ann
Strickland, and Jane Williams.

Third generation: Robert Braswell (lived in Bertie County, NC, married
Sarah, died November, 1736). Children were: Robert, John, Richard,
Valentine, Sarah Daughtry, Jean Braswell, Mary Braswell, William.

Fourth generation: William Braswell (married Mary, died 1721). After his
death, his widow married Moses Ginn. William and Mary had William
Junior, Benjamin, and James.

Fifth generation: William, Jr. was father to Ann Cloe Braswell who
married William Hunt, my G-G-G-G-G-G grandfather.

Hope this info is helpful.

Hi cousin. Pretty cool website.

My grandparents did a lot of research in the 1960s and gave the
following family history. They traced only the line that led to our
family:

First generation: Rev Robert Bracewell born in England in about 1605
(son of Richard Bracewell, gentlemen of London), educated at Oxford,
came to Jamestowne area of Virginia in 1630 with sister Rebecca. He
bought 300 acres from John Upton and became parson of lower parish, Isle
of Wight County. Briefly served in House of Burgesses in 1653. Died in
1668.

Children were: Jane Stokes (or Stokers),  Rebecca West, Robert Braswell
(married Susanna), Richard Braswell, Ann Bagnall.

Second generation: Richard Braswell (married Sarah, will dated 1724).
Children were Richard, Robert, Valentine, Jacob, Mariah Murphy,  Ann
Strickland, and Jane Williams.

Third generation: Robert Braswell (lived in Bertie County, NC, married
Sarah, died November, 1736). Children were: Robert, John, Richard,
Valentine, Sarah Daughtry, Jean Braswell, Mary Braswell, William.

Fourth generation: William Braswell (married Mary, died 1721). After his
death, his widow married Moses Ginn. William and Mary had William
Junior, Benjamin, and James.

Fifth generation: William, Jr. was father to Ann Cloe Braswell who
married William Hunt, my G-G-G-G-G-G grandfather.

Hope this info is helpful.

Hi, my name is Clare Magbee.  Ann BRASWELL m. Matthew STRICKLAND, JR. but
that is about all I know about her.  I have done no research on the BRASWELL
family, just trying to get back to them.  I have lots of STRICKLAND
information and the information on Ann is that she was the dau. of Richard
and Sarah SAMPSON.
Thanks for any help you can give me on Ann and her ancestors--if you want any
thing on the STRICKLAND' S let me know.

Hi: I am also researching the Braswell family of Washington Co, MO , St 
Francois Co, Mo and points south. The family origin is Brunswick Co VA. 
The oldest Braswell in this line is Jesse Braswell. His son was Jesse 
Braswell and his son was Warren D. Braswell. If any of these names mean 
anything to you, please drop me a line and we can compare notes.

Dear Cousin David Hunt,
   In the interest of accuracy, I would point out the following errors in
fact in your grandparent's account of your Braswell ancestry:

   Rev. ROBERT BRACEWELL was born & christened in London in 1611, not "1605".

   He immigrated in 1649-1650 {1st record, April, 1650}, not "1630".

   There is no direct evidence that he immigrated with a sister, "REBECCA."
True, his association with the IZARD family goes back to England,  and
REBECCA IZARD, widow of his friend RICHARD IZARD had legal custody of the
Rev's sons after he died, and  he did name a daughter REBECCA--but none of
this constitutes proof. Strong evidence, but not proof. Therefore we can only
say that he MAY have been a brother to REBECCA IZARD and that they  all
immigrated together. 

The Immigrant's daughter JANE married first ROBERT STOKES, not "STOKER".

The Immigrant's granddaughter who married MURPHY was named MARTHA, not
"MARIAH".

Two of the Immigrant's grandsons  {ROBERT & WILLIAM brothers to MARTHA} are
given as "Generations 3 & 4"--an interesting impossibility! <g>


Yours for accurate--and fun!--research,

Carey

Dear Cousin LaVera,
   So nice to hear from another descendant of the illusive WILLIAM BRASWELL
(c.1766-c.1856)! I have as many questions as comments, but let's start with
the latter:
   Our RICHARD BRASWELL/BRACEWELL, Wm's dad, was born c.1723, or about 6
years earlier than our original estimate, and he married OBEDIENCE SNOW(?)
about 1745, either in Edgecombe or Orange County, North Carolina {he married
near the time that his father, VALENTINE BRACEWELL, removed to Orange Co.}
Their oldest children--GEORGE, FREDERICK--were born before 1750. Your WILLIAM
was therefore one of their youngest children.

RICHARD died in Knox (Anderson)County, Tennessee, c. 1800, not "abt. 1811
Greenville Co., S.C."  WILLIAM was the last of his brothers to leave Anderson
County for the West (Anderson County Court Records, 1801-1809, p. 307, shows
WILLIAM BRAZLE selling JOHN SUTHERLAND his 100-acre farm on Wolf Creek and
Lot #39 in Burrville (Clinton) on June 10, 1807, with the notation that "Said
lot was willed to WILLIAM BRAZLE"--presumably by his late father. A
courthouse fire destroyed Wills & Deeds before 1900, so all we have are these
county court minutes.  

Now to questions: Will you repeat the documentation that proves WILLIAM
married ELIZABETH MEDFORD? I could probably find it in my old letters from O.
Klute Braswell but asking you is simpler. The family tradition that he
married, first, a JEAN is exciting news for another cousin, Gayle Braswell
Ellison, who may descend from WILLIAM through this first wife. {Her BOARDVINE
BRASWELL, b. 1799 in Surry Co., N.C., was evidently an orphan raised by a
maternal aunt}.  

You give WILLIAM's death as "abt. 1856 Carroll Co.,AR". Documentation for
this estimate? All I know is that he died between the 1850 & 1860 Federal
census.

Carey

Earlier, I sent a message that I had found my 3ggf William Barjonah ("Jonas")
Braswell on Volume 5 CD of Family Tree Maker's World Family Tree.  I emailed
FTM and got the address of the submitter.  I thought I would use the Buddy
List in America Online to see if he had an email address with AOL.  I didn't
find him, but what a revelation.  There were 95 Braswells on AOL.  So then I
got curious and looked up the other spelling variations.  The program lumps
some very simlar ones together like Brasel and Brasell.  My results below
list only the spelling variations I found.  In addition to Brazil, there were
272 other cousins.

Brazil/Brazill/Brasil - 250.  These were mostly our Spanish cousins.  
Braswell - 95
Brazell - 56
Breazeale - 24
Bracewell - 21
Brazzel/Brazzell - 18
Brasel - 16
Brasel/Brassell - 15
Brazeal - 12
Braziel - 8
Brazwell - 3
Brasuell - 2
Brasswell - 1
Brasiel - 1

Other nets could be searched if they have a feature such as a Buddy List.  We
could possibly advertise the Braswell Family Page if there were some easy way
to do it.   There were 2 Bracewells in Wichita Falls, TX that I didn't know
about.  Carey, do you have any lost cousins?

IDear Cousin Foy,
   No, all my immediate cousins are accounted for <g>, but thanks for the
listing of Bracewell Buddies on AOL. The "Brazils" whom you identify as
"Spanish cousins" are probably in fact of Portuguese descent. According to
the Federal immigration records, there were tons of Portuguese of that
surname who immigrated in the nineteenth century, primarily to Boston. And
did you know that the South American nation was named for a mythical island
paradise supposed to be somewhere west of IPortugal? True story, Cuz! 

   Also I would point out that "Breazeales" (and obvious variants such as
"Brazeel" pronounced with the long e) are a separate Huguenot family. They
landed in Henrico County,  Virginia in the seventeenth century but seated
primarily in the Charleston area. Persons interested in pursuing information
should contact one of the following genealogists:

   Mrs. Taney Brazeal, Rt 2, Box 5, Fairhope, Alabama  36532

,   Mrs. John M. Breezeel, Rt 8, Box 46, Benton, Ky  42025

   Mrs. Lois D. Plotts, 403E 15th Avenue, Olympia, Washington

   Mrs. Taney Brazeal & Mrs. Plotts have both published on the Breazeales and
would certainly be key resource persons to locate.  The above addresses are
old
and the researchers may have moved on by now. But I would certainly urge
anyone 
interested in this family to make the effort to locate them.

Carey

Dear Cousin La Vera:
   Thank you for the Klute.Doc file. I will have some comment on it after
I've had a chance to examine it thoroughly. Klute Braswell & I collaborated
on  this research back in the 60's & 70's.

   As to the evidence that VALENTINE BRACEWELL (c.1692-c.1766) fathered our
RICHARD BRACEWELL/BRAZIL (c.1723-c.1800), it is entirely circumstantial and
took years of tedious research to establish. Basically it goes like this:

   1.  Working backward in time, I was able to place my RICHARD BRAZIL
(1759-1842) in Anson County, North Carolina at the time of his marriage to
JEMIMA WHITE, c. 1780. From Greenville District (SC) and Wilkes County and
other  records, I had established that he was a "Richard, Jr.", and Anson
County records helped support that. Also, Anson records showed that Richard,
Sr.'s wife was OBEDIENCE, and both unusual given names for the wives--Jemima
and Obedience--were faithfully preserved and repeated down through subsequent
generations {my father knew an Obedience Brazil Barker in turn-of-the-century
Texas}.

   2.  The problem of where they lived before Anson took years to solve.
First there was the blind alley of that NATHAN BRASWELL & others who turned
up in Anson later in the eighteenth century. They  proved to be descendants
of RICHARD BRACEWELL II (Edgecombe will, 1767) by way of Johnston County.
Then, by noting the associates of our RICHARD & OBEDIENCE in Anson (RANDALL
CHEEK, ISAAC COOPER, but especially JOHN SHEPHERD) I was finally able to
 connect them with the Orange County Bracewells. The problem there was that
most of the surviving Orange/Chatham records refer to the family of RICHARD's
brother, HENRY BRACEWELL, but there were enough documents to show that
RICHARD, Sr. was the son of VALENTINE BRACEWELL (a 1740's Granville grant
refers to RICHARD BRASWELL as the son of VALENTINE).

   3.   Then the question arose, where did VALENTINE come from? More mystery,
inasmuch as VAL never owned much property and, of course, left no will.
Trying to tie him to ROBERT BRASWELL (Bertie Will, 1736) who had a son by
that name proved futile. Evidently this younger VAL (s/o ROBERT) died without
issue. Then I investigated the possibility that our VAL was the younger son
of RICHARD I (c.1652-1725) and that proved to be the case. The evidence is
thin, but enough to make the connection. The clincher is a 1744  Edgecombe
deed in which VAL was living on land on Cypress Creek belonging to SAMPSON
WILLIAMS. Shortly thereafter, VAL & WILLIAMS were speculating in Granville
(Orange/Chatham) land. The mystery might never have been solved had it not
been for the uniqueness of VALENTINE's name. As Bill Fields {my mentor in
colonial Braswell research] pointed out, the only line to preserve that
unique given name was VAL's own descendants. And "Valentine" persisted as a
given name among his Arkansas descendants--among others--right down to this
century.    I will share all the circumstantial evidence that proves this
line in the near future, but that gives you the gist of it. VALENTINE & JANE
POPE BRACEWELL probably supplied more trans-Allegheny pioneers than any other
grandson of the Immigrant.

   You asked about "Polly's Folly": that referrred to one POLLY BRAZZEL of
Sumner County, Tennessee, who, in 1833, married some poor slob named JAMES
RODGERS, refused to cohabit with him,  but took off to Gallatin, Tn, where
she ran up $100 in debts to Rodgers, returned home, took his only horse &
saddle, and left him! Cousin Foy Braswell found this gem in G. Bramman's
"Tennessee Divorce Laws, 1797-1858". It was part of a gag contest he  had
going a couple of months ago called "Braswell Rascal of the Month".  I'm not
sure who won that month--Polly or JESSE WAYNE BRAZEL, the guy who shot
ex-Sheriff Pat Garrett {the man who killed Billy the Kid} in the back  of the
head on the road to Las Cruces (NM) March 1, 1908. Garrett was taking a leak
when BRAZEL shot him!  Bad form! .Foy & I got this going as a foil to anyone
beginning to believe that our family were somehow above human foibles......

Dear Breazeale researchers,
  I have a copy of Lois Plott's "Breazeale Kin" (1961) and most issues of
Taney Brazeal's quarterly, "Breazeale Notes" (1965-1972) of which I was the
Braswell "co-editor". I would be pleased to share these with your senior
researcher (for distribution to the others) for the price of the photocopying
& mailing. As I have stated more than once, these are two distinct families,
similarity of spelling notwithstanding. 

Carey

I tried to leave an entry on your guestbook but it wouldn't go through.
Itried to reload and refresh but no luck. My name is Jill Katie
Braswell. I live in Mariposa California. (P.O. Box 444,Mariposa Ca
95338) I am interested in my grandfather's side of the family,
especially his mother's. He was born in Dawsonville Georgia November 25
1922. Ijust started to do research on this and could use any help that
anyone can give.I am particularly interested in the Cherokee Indian ties
to the family because I live in an Area with a very strong Indian
presence. (Miwok and Mono Indians.
My email is for an uncle but he will give me any info that might come
from this. Could you pass this along or place my plea in your guestbook?
I really did try to sign it. Thanks for any help.

Subject: Website corrections
X-UIDL: bc8a5a7c6e807ec4b770a58fbf351524

Dear Cousin Nona,
   Since I'm sidelined from farming today due to a minor shoulder injury,
this looks like a good time to point out some needed corrections to the
Braswelliana portion of your new website data, as per your request.

   Due to the slowness of the net with today's holiday traffic, I didn't have
the patience to go through the references, but I did find a number of needed
corrections in the text. One footnote I did manage to read,however (#149)
should be cleansed of any reference to troubles in Scotland as the cause of
Bracewell migration south: Bracewell Manor is 5 miles from the Scottish
border in York, true enough, but the Bracewells were dispossessed of their
estate by the Norman family, Le Tempest, following the Norman Conquest of
l066. Another minor English note is that our immigrant ancestor, Rev. ROBERT,
was definitely born in 1611, not "about 1612" as reported.

    Many more problems were noted with information about doings on this side
of the Atlantic. At Item 19 it is stated that ROBERT, Jr. died "after
1701/2". Fact is, we only know that he lived until March 27, 1696, when he
gave SUSANNAH his power of attorney. Item 21, the children of RICHARD & SARAH
VALENTINE(?)BRACEWELL
needs complete revision, based on extant data showing when each of these kids
came of age and started signing legal documents. The best estimate places
their birth order & dates as:
RICHARD, Jr.    c.1672
ROBERT           c.1674
WILLIAM           c.1676
MARTHA           c.1678
ANN                  c.1682
JACOB              c.1684
JANE                 c.1686
JOHN                 c.1688
VALENTINE        c.1692

{I had earlier concluded that JOHN was the "baby of the family" but it looks
more like VAL deserves that honor; he certainly acted the part!}

Item 25. JANE married SAMUEL WILLIAMS, Jr. Documented, of course. . .  
Item 26. ANN married MATTHEW STRICKLAND, Jr. 

VALENTINE married JANE POPE about 1712 and died in Orange County about 1766.
Items 33-39, the alleged children of ROBERT BRACEWELL, Jr. should all be
deleted. None of these--with the possible exception of ANN BRACEWELL RIGGS,
were legitimate.

Item 29. RICHARD, Jr. married an ELEANOR, true enough, but the consensus
among Eastern genealogists is that it was his son, RICHARD III, who married a
BRYANT, accounting for the close BRACEWELL/BRYANT interaction in the Tar
Valley (Bertie/Edgecombe) records in this line. 

Item 31. We know of only two marriages by JOHN, not three: the first to an
ALICE 
and the second, about 1740, to the widow, Mrs. JANE LEWIS.

Item 32.  WILLIAM BRACEWELL I definitely died in 1720, not 1721.

Item 43. Please delete all this until we get it straightened out! My RICHARD
(c.1723-c.1800) was the son of VALENTINE & JANE POPE BRACEWELL. He was born
in Bertie Precinct and died in Anderson County, Tennessee. He married
OBEDIENCE SNOW(?) before 1750, evidently about the time his family moved from
Cypress Creek, Edgecombe {when YOUR SAMPSON WILLIAMS sold their  farm out
from under them! <g>} in 1744. The identity, birth order, and birth years of
R&O's children is still being worked out between Gayle and myself, but these
are their known issue:
GEORGE     c.1750
FREDERICK c. 1752
ELIZABETH   c.1757
RICHARD,Jr.     1759
JAMES         c.1761     OBEDIENCE 1763
VALENTINE      1765
WILLIAM           1766
JOHN             c.1770
PATIENCE & SARAH, unknown birthdates,  but PATIENCE "PATTY" was definitely
among the younger ones since she did not marry until 1798, after the family
moved to Knox (Anderson) County, Tennessee. This  JOHN may in fact have been
a grandson by a deceased son as yet unidentified. Patty could have a been a
granddaughter as well. What a mess! All we have to go on are the scantiest of
records in the Carolinas and the Smith Bible (1885) which scrambles JOHN's
family together with  R&O's!  

Item 46. JAMES married NANCY MAXWELL, not HALL, as earlier reported. 

Your information looks reliable after the third American generation. Perhaps
the best course on the others would be to wait until I have filled out my
Family Tree Maker
{complete with specific documentation}, shared it with you, and then revise
the webpage accordingly. 

   I tried to forward everyone on Keith's page two enormous files (styled
Documents 13-44} but evidently it didn't go. They were my Carolina & later
materials that would have been useful to everyone. The data was originally on
5" floppies which Cousin Rich Ellis kindly transferred to 2.25" disc. I will
send you a copy if there is no other way because this stuff needs to be
shared, especially with the other descendants of VALENTINE (c.1692-c.1766).
The frustrating thing is that I havn't so far located the floppy with
Documents 1-12 which are the Isle of Wight originals, full text of wills,
inventories, etc. I had a meditation student of mine copy this stuff years
ago in lieu of tuition. These are long, tedious documents that are to be
included in my own Braswell book--should I ever get around to writing it! <g>
As you know, the research never really ends!

CARTER / DEMILLE / BRASWELL / TABOR  
     My great-grandmother, Mary Emeline Carter De Mille, always told her
grandchildren that 
     she was part Cherokee. She was born in Arkansas to Mary Catherine
Braswell and 
     Fernando Jeremiah Carter. Since Carter was from Vermont, I assume
the Cherokee comes 
     through her mother. Maryn Catherine's mother, Mary Tabor, was
married to Simon 
     Braswell. She was one of three or four Tabor sisters who married
Braswell brothers. The 
     Braswell and Tabor families started out in North Carolina, went to
Tennesse, Illinois, and all 
     ended up in Carroll County, Arkansas. 
     Mary Carter was born in 1869 and died in 1935. I don't know if she
ever applied to any 
     rolls. Thanks for any more help! 
     Susan De Mille Harvey 
     Date: 8 Dec 1996 

FROM JERRY: First you should see the reply on previous Tabor query which
has information on
that family name in TN. 

There is a TABER who was admitted to both the Dawes Roll and the Miller
Roll. She was listed as
Margaret OK TABER, of Little Rock, ARK. on Miller Roll, her App # is
35331, which I have not
abstracted yet. She was 19 years old and apparently married to a TABER
in Sept 1906, as she is
listed as 1/8 blood on the Dawes Roll, under the name of Margaret O.
BELL.

Additional TABOR/TABER applicants who were rejected were:

     Susan Taber, app 29615 - TN - rejected - not abstracted yet. 
     Bertha TABOR, ap 2904 - ARK - rejected - (Cherokee by Blood, vol.
2) claimed through
     Louisa BAYS (or MAYS), who was born in VA and went to Ind. 
     Francis A TABOR, app 30927 - TX - rejected - not abstracted yet. 
     Miles H TABOR, app 39206 - NC - rejected - not abstracted yet. 
     Thos. J TABOR, app 39201 - NC - rejected - not abstracted yet. 

There were only four Bras(s)well applicants to the Miller Roll, all from
GA. Their names were

     Wm Hampton BRASSWELL, app 31957 - rejected 
     Cassie BRASWELL, app 31958 - rejected 
     Howard BRASWELL, app 31959 - rejected 
     Mammie BRASWELL, app 31960 - rejected 

FROM TERRI: There were Tabor's in Marion County, Ar-who were Cherokee
but, never were
enrolled on the Dawes as they did not come to Oklahoma. Have you ever
checked the Dawes?

Pam Hall
edhall@telapex.comLACY / BRAZZELL  
     I am looking for my father's great-grandmother, Elizabeth True
LACY. She was born circa 
     1850 and possibly in Missouri, but it is not known for certain. She
married Martin 
     BRAZZELL about 1870 and they had a son, William BRAZZELL, who had a
daughter, 
     Pearl Ethel BRAZZEL, who was my grandmother...They were all at one
time living in Terre 
     Haute, Vigo County, Indiana. It is a family belief that Elizabeth
was either full-blood or part 
     POTAWATOMIE. She lived to the age of nearly 100. Any suggestions or
leads would be 
     greatly appreciated. Thank you, 
     Pam Hall 
     Date: 14 Dec 1996 

FROM FIREHAIR: Unless your family came down from upper Mich, etc.,
Potawatamie may not
be the answer. You are more apt, in Vigo co., to run into Shawnee,
Wyandot, Delaware .etc. Also,
so many People there came up out of Tn, Ky, you can also consider
Cherokee, etc. Where did they
say they were born in 1880?? Did you attempt to find the family in Mo,
or IN in 1860 , 70? In
1860, she might show in her parents home. the census for those years are
indexed (AIS) available in
most big libraries.

Dear Cousins,
   I notice that the rumor persists that Richard Braswell, named as a
"son"(in-law) in the  1731 Bertie will of James Bryant, was Richard "II",
grandson of the Immigrant.
In fact he was almost certainly Richard "III" (Edgecombe will, 1767). The
records show that Richard II had set up housekeeping with Ann Carver as early
as 1720. It seems inconceivable that a man  would name as a legatee a
son-in-law who had deserted his daughter. Therefore I recommend that we add
"Bryant(?)" after Elizabeth, the wife named in Richard III's will.

Dear Cousins,
   Load up the printer! The attached file, styled "Documents 13-31" is the
text of most of the Braswelliana that I intend to publish in my own book on
our family. This section deals primarily  with the period my branch was in
North Carolina (c.1715-1785). Except for the first document--the will of
SARAH VALENTINE(?) BRACEWELL (IofW, 1734)--it mainly deals with VALENTINE
BRACEWELL (c.1692-c.1766) and his clan in Orange/Chatham & Anson counties.
 Of more general interest are some notes on the social history of the Tar
Heel State. A second file, styled "Documents 32-44" will present data on
subsequent periods, beginning with Greenville District, South Carolina,
1786-1820. The first file, Documents 1-12, deal mainly with the records of
the Immigrant's family in seventeenth century Isle of Wight County, Virginia,
and will be transmitted at a later date, after it is converted to 3.5" disc.
 

   We are indebted to Cousin Rich Ellis of Austin for transferring these data
from their original electronic form--old fashioned 5" floppy--to the present
3.5" disc. They are out of chronological sequence because I have only
recently located the disc containing the first twelve documents. Naturally
these latter data will be of universal interest to Braswell researchers since
it deals with our uncommon common ancestor, Rev. ROBERT BRACEWELL
(1611-1668), and his immediate family.

Subject: Attachments

Dear Cousins,
   I am informed today { in the brusque manner so distressingly common these
days, both online and off} that my sending you research information via
attachments is a violation of the terms of agreement for use of this venue.
This was news to me.
I hope that you will find Documents 13-44 useful to your Braswell research,
and regret that I will not be sending 1-13 as promised, which, incidently,
are  the full texts of the original Isle of Wight County records concerning
our Immigrant ancestor and his immediate family. This would have saved Keith
or Nona {who have memeographed copies}  the tedious task of retyping all
these documents to share with you. More importantly, it would have given us
all a common genealogical database to work from {since we all share this
 first family in common} and eliminated those significant, albeit innocent,
false-to-fact errors about our First Family of Virginia that have been in
circulation lately. Sorry. Most of you know  that my own research has been
essentially complete for years and I share these  materials only out of love
of family.

Subject: Those Braswell ancestors!
X-UIDL: 614a1a10d387cffe5951c1128e22d5d5

Dear Gayle,
   Thank you for your several good messages this date. Good grief! I used up
most of my correspondence time this evening on Foy, but here's a couple of
quick observations to show I care and that I'm paying attention! <g>:

1.  A copy of the index to my Georgia records is in the mail to you.

2.  That the SAMPSON, Revolutionary War vet of Washington County, Georgia,
was a son of RICHARD III of Edgecombe is proved by Edgecombe DB 8-p.548 in
which Sampson disposed of some land he inherited from that late father.

3.  FREDERICK was definitely a member of R&O's family. I'll share my Wilkes
files with you that shows him right in the middle of the community where
R&O's brood were known to be in the late 1770's to c. 1785: Reddies River
(north of Wilkesboro).
Indeed, FRED was granted the very tract that  included the Reddies River
meeting house where they all worshiped, and he was neighbors to the HALLs &
SHEPHERDs which were closely interrelated (literally) with R&O's bunch. He
wasn't mentioned in the SMITH Bible (1875) because Smith's information did
not reliably extend back before the Greenville District period (1786-1800+)
--FRED split  for Georgia before that.

4.  FREDERICK "BRAZEAL"'s Jackson County will was signed October 6, 1821,
and probated May 1, 1826. Wife, ELIZABETH, all of "what little property it
has pleased God to bless me with" except $80.00 to TERRIL ROBERTSON "my
grandson" now and after wife's death, balance of estate to JAMES SMITH
ALEXANDER WILLIAMSON {sic} "my grandson". Wife and son-in-law, JOHN
WILLIAMSON, co-executors. Signed by mark. Witnesses: EDWARD ADAMS,
MARTHA JOHNSTON, JOHN JOHNSTON. Proved by ADAMS and MARTHA JOHNSTON, {I
previously wrongly gave "1828" as his death date. Told you ya gotta watch
this faulty  old memory of mine. <grin>}

ELIZABETH made her will in Jackson County on June 16, 1830, "being low & sick
in body": to CHARLES DOUGHARTY, Jr. "one lot of land drawn in my name" {#180
in Lee County), whom she named as her executor.  Liz, too, signed by mark.
Witnesses: EDWARD ADAMS, CHARLES DOUGHARTY,Senior; ELIZABETH DOUGHARTY.
Proved September 6, 1830, by ADAMS and CHARLES DOUGHARTY, Sr. 

The record that you found associating FREDERICK with a JOHN, Sr. is what got
me to speculating about a connection with your Surry gang, right down the
road from the Reddies River bunch of R&O. The presence of a GEORGE in Surry,
identified him as the Regulator elder son of R&O who evidently was on the lam
and who reappeared in Moore County just as he disappeared from Surry. GEORGE
is named as a son of R&O by Smith (1875) and that name was perpetuated in my
branch for a while. It is noteworthy for its rarity among 18th century North
Carolina Braswellls, all of them associated with VALENTINE's gang. GEORGE was
evidently admired {as poor FREDERICK was not} so you BV could have named his
kid that even if the name weren't directly ancestral. Interesting that BV
named the first one WILLIAM, which may well turn out to be ancestral.   

   And it looks like with the association of JOHN with Northampton County
that your lineage may well point to WILLIAM (s/o RICHARD I, d.1720).  Time
will tell. For it looks like the Northampton bunch (including Keith's) came
from this "WILLIAM I". 
Again we have different branches in the same county, just to confuse us! <g> 

5.  Sounds like your 5 acres are just as time-consuming as my 75! I wouldn't
trust any but a sheep-herding breed of dog with your sheep. They will
eventually kill them just for sport because its in their DNA. I had to give
away a beloved black lab for that very  reason.  I share your frustration
with the ravenous deer, also. I'll have to put up an electric fence around
our pecan orchard or there won't be anything left. You do know to angle the
fence, right? For some reason they won't jump it if it's built at angles.

I wouldn't really call myself a researcher but I have started to trace
my family back generation by generation. I find that my ggg grandparents
were Edwin Lamberth and Susanna Braswell, daughter of Joseph Braswell of
Clarke County, GA.  They were probably married c. 1800 and I think she
died c 1808 as he married again c.1809. Can anyone tell me any more
about Susanna and the lines preceding her.

Thank you for any information that you can provide.

Cousin Carey -

What an outrage.  Who is the culprit here?  I know attachments are legal on
AOL.  Keith can't be against it.  The old Braswell service accepted many
attachments, i.e. the Church, etc.  It's probably the new service -
BRASWELL-L@EMCEE.COM.  If so, we need a new service.  

Anyway, I gotta have a copy of 1-13.  You're on AOL and so am I, so fire
away.  

Your Indignant Cousin Foy

Dear Cousins,
   I am pleased to report that it is not, in fact, a violation of our use of
this venue to
include attachments from time to time. Therefore I will be transmitting
Documents 1-12 in the near future. However I will send them in smaller sets
so as not to overwhelm anyone's poor overworked printer <g>! This series will
include such precious documents as the complete probate records (inventories,
etc.) of our Immigrant ancestor, REV. ROBERT BRACEWELL (1611-1668). I was
 very touched by the expressions of  concern and appreciation from so many of
you. It is not my policy to spread anything but love {and hard genealogical
data! <g>} in the world, so I will not point a finger at anyone.  Suffice to
say this rude complaint did not originate with Keith or anyone else you know.

Carey et al,
I hope I do not offend, but my understanding is that Juno blocks all
file attachments & all email over 61K & all graphics.  I have an 
AT&T account that could receive attachments & graphics, but I try to
stay off it since I only get 5 free hours per month.  Wouldn't it be
more permanent if they were put on the web rather than sent in email.
Hmm, I guess some can't browse the web so maybe email is good for them
though I wonder if they can receive file attachments.  Try sending one
& we shall see who all bounces & who all gets it.

BTW, if you wonder why I don't pay a provider, I am used to getting
my internet free these past 12 years from the university.  File
attachments are new to the internet.  I have to pay $25 to $30 per
month to put Columbia in my local calling area just to reach Juno
& AT&T & the university.  I do not want to spend another $20 on a 
provider.  I think I am spending enough.

is a Braswell Family net at URL:  http://www.pbmo.net/suburb/braswell/
My family didn't get into GA but someone on our net can probably help you.
 Braswell cousins are always welcome.

Dear Cousin James,
   Thanks for the information and suggestions about sharing our Braswelliana
online.
I am still relatively new to this venue and definitely still learning, as
anyone can readily see by the latest exchanges online.  BTW, Cousin Bill
Fields sends his regards. He is still toiling away at abstracting the deeds
of Cumberland County,NC,  in colloboration with Dr George Stevenson, whom you
no doubt also know.  I have advised contemporary researchers to limit their
attempts to contact Bill since at his present advanced age, he doesn't need
to be bothered by a flock of neophyte Braswell researchers. Further,  the
ongoing work he and his team are doing is too important to be delayed with
inquiries that you or I or another advanced researcher could  as easily
handle. Don't you agree? This was my idea, not Bill's, who as you know is
always the soul of Southern hospitality and generosity. Professional courtesy
demands  that I credit Bill with whatever Braswelliana I share with others
that came from him--and it is quite a body of documents and  brilliant, witty
commentary--but the last thing in the world that I want to do is burden our
old friend with a bunch of needless inquiries. 

   I will probably  stay at this until I have shared the better part of my
colonial Braswelliana with contemporary researchers, even though my own
research has been essentially complete for more than two decades. Obviously I
love doing it--it satisfies my need to teach--and as you must know it is very
gratifying to help another researcher save years of effort and frustration in
tracing his or her Braswell lineage. I've been able to help a few folks in
that way already. It's not about ego, but sharing, although I must admit I
can come very close to simply moving on to other hobby interests with
confronted by a crass ingrate as happened this week. 

Carey

My Great-Grandfather (John Jasper Braswell), I was told was originally from
somewhere in Missouri.  I do not know when he moved to Georgia.  My
Grandfather is from Augusta, Georgia/Lyons, Georgia  ( Robert Lee Braswell
) He had five children (June, Jedon, Ann, Francis, Robert) My father is
Robert Ponder Braswell the youngest of five children and only male.  He has
three children (Lee, Brook, Deborah)  I am the second of three children and
the youngest Male Braswell in my generation.  Above my Great-Grandfather, I
do not know much of anything.

Dan T. Price, D.D.S. Comments:

My great-grandfather was George Critton Absher.  He married Lizzie Braswell
on December 24, 1882.  They lived in Sumner County, Tennessee for many
years before moving to Oklahoma.  George died in Oklahoma and I assume that
Lizzie did as well.  I hope someone might know of Lizzie and her
background.  Thanks for your consideration;                 Dr. Dan

Do you have any clues on what states, counties, etc. Sarah was in?

Cousin Keith -

I still haven't had time to work out an easy way to capture the AOL
Braswell's email addresses.  My idea is that a mass mail out would be good
advertisement to get more cousins on the net.  The same thing could be done
with other service providers if they have a "Buddy List."  Another thing that
could be done is do a "people search."  Yahoo has one at URL:
 http://www.yahoo.com/search/people/
If you are interested in Braswells all over the US or in a specific city,
that's the way to do it.  This might be a good project.  I don't think it
could be construed as a commercial advertisement.

Cousin Foy

What a wonderful source of information.  It looks like you have all the
lines covered.  I have started to trace my family back generation by
generation and have come across a Braswell. My ggg grandmother was Susanna
Braswell who married Edwin Lamberth.  She was the daughter of Joseph
Braswell of Clarke Co., GA. I hope to find out more about my line and this
looks like a good place to start!  Susan (Lamberth) Williamson Walnut

Dear Strickland Cousin,
   ANN BRACEWELL STRICKLAND (b.Ca 1682), Isle of Wight County, Virginia, was
indeed the d/o RICHARD & SARAH BRACEWELL. However the assertion that SARAH's
maiden name was SAMPSON is incorrect. Although unproven, it is more likely
that it was VALENTINE inasmuch as she named one of her sons by that unusual
--and proudly perpetuated--surname name (VALENTINE BRACEWELL was the only
person with that given name, for instance, on the Bertie (NC) List of 470
veniremen in  1740. (Colonial Records of North Carolina, Vol. 4, p.523).

   Further documented information about ANN's family will be forthcoming on
this 
venue. If you could supply us with additional information about her family by
MATTHEW STRICKLAND, Jr. and an estimate of her date of death, that would be
interesting for comparison purposes. Please specify any documentation cited.

   Anent the SAMPSON canard, I have no idea how that one got started, for
there is no colonial documentation I've ever seen to support such a
contention. Perhaps the association with some of RICHARD & SARAH's immediate
descendants with persons by that surname, coupled with the fact that there
were some early SAMPSONs BRACEWELL, is the answer. My guess is that the first
 use of that name was to honor the Biblical character; Lord knows they needed
the strength of Sampson to endure their hardships!
