Hello Lawrence and List I cannot add anything regarding Samuel. However I also have a BRACHER ancestor. I am descended from Sophia BRACHER (1740-1818) who married John HASKELL (1735-1801) at Frome SOM in 1766. John was a blacksmith and the couple lived in Horningsham WIL. Sophia may have been born in Salisbury. Cheers Chris Farrington Auckland New Zealand
