    2. Blakemore, page 62: "LUCY NEVILLE BLAKEMORE, the fifth child and second daughter of Thomas Blakemore, Sr. and his wife, Ann Neville, was born April 8, 1764, and died in 1858. She married THOMAS BRAGG and they were the grandparents of the Confederate General Braxton Bragg (1817-1976). Their children were (1) ELIZABETH BRAGG, born June 29, 1782. (2) SUKEY BRAGG, born December 3, 1783. (3) ARMSTEAD BRAGG, born May 17, 1785. (4) SIDNEY BRAGG, born December 31, 1786." Page: 13: "THOMAS BLAKEMORE, SR., the eldest child of Edward Blackmore (Blakemore) Sr. and his wife Hannah________, was born June 19, 1718, and died October 26, 1808. He came from Lancaster County about 1756 and settled in Frederick (now Clarke) County. On November 5, 1756, he married ANN NEVILLE, born October 11, 1735, and died January 10, 1826. She was the second daughter of George Neville by his second wife, Mary Gibbs. George Neville had nine daughters but no sons." Page 14: "Thomas Blakemore's plantation, known as 'Moorland,' was in Frederick (now Clarke) County, Virginia, the latter county having been formed from Frederick in 1836. The land is at Berryville, on Alternate Route 340, but it is now longer owned by the family. While the old house is still standing it is so altered in appearance as to be unrecognizable. Close to the house is the family burial ground which the Clarke County Historical Society says is the largest private burial ground in Clarke County." Page 15: "Some years ago my aunt [this would have been the author, Maurice Neville Blakemore, writing], Mrs. Worcester Reed Warner, had the stone wall rebuilt with original stones, a new monument erected for Thomas and Ann (Neville) Blakemore, and the grounds generally cleaned and restored under my supervision. . . . . Thomas Blakemore, Sr., and his wife Ann (Neville) are buried here with other members of the family, some with tombstones while the stones of others have disintegrated through age and lack of care. . . . . Below is listed the ten tombstones which still remain: ' THOMAS BLAKEMORE son of Edward Blackmore (Blakemore and Hannah __________ born June 19, 1718 died October 26, 1808 'ANN NEVILLE wire of Thomas Blakemore and daughter of George Neville and Mary Gibbs born October 11, 1735 died January 1826'" Other graves located at same site are: George, son of Thomas and Ann, and his wife Elizabeth Mauzy; Thomas, son of Thomas and Ann; and the rest are children of George and Elizabeth. Hope this info is helpful. Jerry Dalton, Dallas
