Mother: Susannah BURGESS |
There is proof that William BRACEWELL was the son of ROBERT
BRACEWELL, Jr. and SUSANNAH BURGESS, and that he was born about
1680. The records show another William BRACEWELL witnessed a
deed for this first William BRACEWELL as early as 1714 (Chowan
County, North Carolina, Deed Book B, pg. 179). This and later
records of another William BRACEWELL have caused some confusion
among genealogists. It seems that Richard BRACEWELL, brother of
ROBERT, JR., also had a son named William. If so, he would not
have been included in the will of Richard as he preceded his
father in death. (Richard BRACEWELL made his will in 1724/25.)
Although there is some uncertainty as to which William is which,
both are descendants of the Reverend ROBERT BRACEWELL, Sr. of
the Isle of Wight County, Virginia.
In 1711 our William BRACEWELL and his wife Mary were in Chowan
County, North Carolina. He was the first of his family to move
to North Carolina, but was soon joined by four of Richard's
sons- Richard Jr., Robert, Valentine, and Jacob, with whom he
was closely associated during his short life there.
Toward the latter part of the seventeenth century, the vast
unsettled lands of North Carolina had been opened for
homesteaders. After the Tuscaroras Rebellion was crushed in
1712, there was a rush to secure choice plantation sites along
the rivers and creeks of the new territory. Many younger sons of
prominent and wealthy families who by law of primogeniture
inherited no share in their father's estates, took advantage of
the opportunity to make their fortunes. New arrivals from
England and indentured servants who had completed their period
of servitude joined the throng of hungry land speculators.
William and Mary BRACEWELL took advantage of the demand for land
and became land speculators. The first time they appeared in the
records of Chowan County, North Carolina, was when they patented
two 640 acre tracts of land on Cypress Swamp, issuing out of the
Moratuck (Roanoke) River (Land Grant Book 2, pg.s 173-174).
During the next nine years, William and Mary patented four more
large tracts of land in Chowan Precinct and purchased other
parcels of land. This brought their total to over 5,340 acres of
land which they resold portions of from time to time. There are
numerous accounts of William and Mary BRACEWELL's activities in
the early records of Chowan and Bertie Counties from the 4 May
1711 to the 8 September 1722 (Patent Book 3, pg. 26; Patent Book
8, pg. 220; Chowan Deed Book B, ppgs. 19, 125, 135, 144, 178,
179, and 377; Hathaway, Vol. 1, ppgs. 19, 287 and 3000).
William BRACEWELL and his wife Mary also assisted his relatives
and friends in their business transactions by witnessing their
deeds and acting as power of attorney;
(SEVENTEENTH CENTURY ISLE OF WIGHT COUNTY, VIRGINIA, by Boddie-
pg. 651; Chowan Deed Book W, pg.s 166-167; Hathaway Vol 1, pg.
154).
On 1 April 1720, William BRACEWELL was listed among the members
of Captain Robert Patterson's Militia (Hathaway Vol 1, pg. 443).
Some time during the latter part of the 1720's William BRACEWELL
died intestate in Bertie County, North Carolina. His eldest son,
WILLIAM BRACEWELL, inherited all the lands of his father subject
to his mother's dower rights.
Mary BRACEWELL, widow, paid poll tax on 1600 acres of land for
the year 1721. She must have continued their land speculations
as time went on, for she purchased 190 more acres in 1721 and
300 acres in 1722 (Chowan Deed Book C, pg. 182).
Mary, widow of William BRACEWELL, was remarried some years later
to Moses Quinn (Bertie Deed Book C, pg. 119).
There is definite proof that a William BRACEWELL (Sr.) had a son
named James, as a James BRACEWELL, son of William BRACEWELL,
bought land south of Roanoke River in Edgecombe County, North
Carolina, on 4 January 1741 (Edgecombe Deed Book 5, pg. 51).
There is a Benjamin BRACEWELL, who was probably a son of William
BRACEWELL (Sr.), as he was constantly associated with William's
son James.
Chowan Precinct, which had formerly been a part of Albemarle
County, became a part of Bertie Precinct in 1722. In 1741 the
area where William and his family had lived became a part of
Hertford County. Page 12
