Notes for William
Bramblett
|
|
The first known William Bramlett
was born (best estimate) abt 1684...under English Common Law
he had to be 21 to
be a witness to the deed dated 1716. He lived in Essex &
Caroline Co., VA and moved abt 1750-1752 to Lunenburg Co.,
VA.
(part of Lunenburg Co., was used, 1754, to form Bedford Co.,
VA]. The 1752 Lunenberg Co. tax list shows William Sr
and
William Jr Bramlett living in the same household. William Sr
probably died soon after giving his stock & household
goods to
son-in-law Stephen White in November 1759. This action,
comments regarding his will "bearing date 6th of February
1750" and
maintenance "agreeable to my age", show he was an elderly
man in 1759. William Jr, believed to be the son of William
Sr (might
be a grandson?) married Anna Ballard abt 1760-1762, she was
the daughter of Richard Ballard of Bedford Co., VA.
Henry
Bramlett Sr b. abt 1810, believed to be William Sr's eldest
son, bought 250 acres in King George Co. (Prince William
Co.,
VA formed from King George, Fauquier Co formed from Prince
William) deed recorded 1735. It was Henry Sr's son,
William
b. abt 1732, who moved to SC. Also to SC were Henry Sr's
granchildren, offspring of sons Henry Jr and Reuben. Henry
Jr's
widow, Margaret "Peggy", also to SC. 35

Deed of Gift
Between William Bramlett Sr and Stephen White
Below is a "Deed of Gift" between William Bramlett, Sr., and
his son-in-law Stephen White -- husband of Agatha. It
provides the
date of William, Sr.'s will which has not been found so far
and it establishes the fact that William, Sr. was alive on
26 Nov 1759,
the day this Deed of Gift was recorded with the Clerk of
Bedford County.
The original handwritten document is recorded in Deed Book
A-1, P.238 in Bedford County, VA. What you see here is not
a
scanned copy of the original deed but a facsimile that has
been transcribed as accurately as possible.
It's possible that two of the witnesses last names are Young
vice Going. It is very hard to tell from the copy I have. If
you have a
chance to compare this to an actual copy, and find any
mistakes, please let me know.
