On 4 Sep 1832 at Loudoun Co., Virginia, Noble Braden, acting for his father Robert Braden, deceased, who had been executor of Joseph Braden's estate, filed an accounting of the estate for the period from 1816-1832 (little detail). The accounting is followed by a statement from Flavius Braden indicating that he has settled the account with Noble. A partial transcription follows: "(photocopy is very faint & difficult to read) Dr. The Estate of Joseph Braden Dec. in account Braden Jo. Estate with R. Braden (Several pages have been omitted from this transcription because they were just statements of account balances & contained no names or genealogical data.) p 193 Contra ……. 1832 By Hire of Beverly $10 Amt to this date $5.00 House rent 1816 & 1817 & Int. omitted do. $44.50 Error in entry of Clothing 1818 to 1822 do 24.00 Hire of Achilles 1822 omitted do 26.20 House rent 1819 & 20 not collected do do 99.39 Hire of Matilda '20-'21 41.30 Clothing for negroes which should have bee charged to Mary Braden's Intr 2 Error in transposition of a/c 549.39 Due 1st January 1832 with out deducting payment made subsequent to 1st Jany 1826 with John Braden surviving Exor. $2158.30 ½ 1827 Dec 31 By Balance due from Rob Bradens former acting Exor $1608.91 ½ ….. (more figures left out) P 194 I have this day settled with Noble S. Braden, Exor. of Robert Braden Dec'd who was Ex. Of My Father Joseph Braden dec'd and I find a balance due me of Nine Hundred and sixty three Dollars & ninety nine cents as per pages. It is to be understood that altho John Braden & Robert Braden were executors yet that John Braden never acted as such even after the death of Robert Braden but the account was continued at my request by Noble S. Braden acting as executor using the name of the John Braden surviving Exr. It is further understood that altho it appears in the a/c thus continued that John Braden rec'd various sums of money on a/c of the Estate yet in fact he did not except such as were passed over by him to Noble S. Braden Exr of Robert Braden all of which have been accounted for by N. S. Braden and included in the above amount of Nine Hundred & Sixty Three dollars 99 cents which is admitted by me as the correct balance due from the Estate of Robert Braden dec'd to the Estate of Joseph Braden at this date. The receipts of which I acknowledge in full payment made me this day by the said N. S. Braden Exr of Robert Braden dec'd of all demands against said Estate. Witness my hand this 4th day of September 1832. Acknowledged before Fla. J. Braden I admit the above to be correct. N. S. Braden Exr of Ro. Braden decd. At a Court held for Loudoun County the 11th day Sept. 1832. This Estate a/c of Robert Braden decd was returned and continued for exceptions until the next Court and at another Court held for said County the 8th October 1832 there being no exceptions filed. Thereto the same is ordered to be recorded. Teste C. Binns C.L.C. " On 4 Sep 1832 at Loudoun Co., Virginia, Noble S. Braden, as executor of Robert Braden's estate, filed an accounting with the court in Loudoun Co., Virginia for the period from 4 March 1832 to 4 June 1834. This accounting mentions the payment on 4 September 1832 to F. J. Braden of the balance due him from the estate of Joseph Braden ($963.99). Flavius J. Braden sold the home and lot in Waterford, Virginia that had been willed to him by his father, Joseph Braden. The property had been in the family 18 years. He sold it to Elizabeth Sullivan on 10 Sep 1832 at Waterford, Loudoun Co., Virginia. Flavius Braden, died of cholera on 13 Oct 1832 while on a ship travelling down the Ohio River. Since Flavius had been in Loudoun Co., Virginia on business in September 1832 and his residence was by then in Natchez, Mississippi, it seems likely that he died while travelling back home to Natchez after completing his business in Loudoun County. The death notice in the newspaper reads, "Died - On the 13th inst. of Cholera, on his passage down the Ohio river, FLAVIUS J. BRADEN, in the 22d year of his age, a native of Loudoun county, Virginia, and late a resident of Natchez, Mis." The notice was printed in the newspaper 1 Nov 1832 of at Vicksburg, Mississippi. The deaths of Flavius J. Braden and William Fenton Braden were mentioned in a letter from Ann Jenners to Elizabeth Braden dated 20 Jan 1833. Ann wrote, "We were all truly sorry to hear of the deaths of Fenton and Flavius." Flavius J. Braden was mentioned as being deceased in the will of his step-father, Isaac Vandevanter III, on 11 Jun 1834 at Loudoun Co., Virginia. An accounting of Flavius' estate was filed in Loudoun Co. Virginia Circuit Court on 29 September 1835 by Thomas Rogers, who served as administrator. Flavius died intestate and no heirs are listed. Flavius J. Braden apparently did not marry and had no known children ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The First Sunday in each month will set aside for a "Brick Wall" Roll Call.
