    1. [GASCREVE] Braswells

    3. Sharon, The Braswells are a really tangled up bunch to try and sort out. They are not my direct line since I descend from Juniper Hall Sr's second wife, Martha Thigpen, daughter of Travis Hill Thigpen and Hannah Hardy Hall (who were also from Pitt/Edgecombe NC). One of my fellow Hall reserchers pointed out just today that there were at least 10 men named Kindred Braswell. The one that we think was the father of Juniper Hall Sr's first wife was bon in SC in 1740, married Rhoda ukn and lived in Burke Co then moved into what is now Emanuel Co with his second wife, who was Ricey Roberts, widow of Isham Roberts of Screven Co. Family lore is that Juniper's wife was Elizabeth Braswell, but the Braswell family researchers say that he didn't have a daughter named Elizabeth. There are just a small number of documents available that tie Juniper with the Braswells. Then there is a Bracewell family, some of whom insist that the two families were not related. I tend to disagree. The one thing that does seem certain is that the Bracewel/Braswells were connected to my Hall family. I am a very long way from figuring out exactly who Juniper's first wife was, though. If only we had the Burke, Screven, and Emanuel records! Carol B. Miller
