I am trying to make a connection between the spelling of Braly and Brawley. My 5th Great Grandfather was John Braly he was appointed Registrar of Deeds for Rowan Co. in 1762. Also there is a Neil Brawley who I would love to prove to be related to the same family. Most of this information is from the book Carolina Cradle and from what most people have told me. Also there were some articles in the papers, Brawley, Rowan Story P. 151 the paper was the North Carolina Mercury and ?Salisbury advertiser can anyone tell me how to get the articles. I am also trying to figure out for sure if John Braly's father was Hugh Brawly/Brawley Can anyone tell me sites for online help. Also there is a book by James S. Brawley called The Rowan story 1753-1953 does anyone know where I might get this book thanks for any help Peggy Braly Parish
