  • Biography*: A Robert Breswell (sic) was one of 120 persons whose headright was claimed by Thomas Wilkinson in 1658 (Cavaliers & Pioneers, Vol. I, p.378). Wilkinson may have paid Robert's passage in exchange for his services as an indentured servant and for Robert's headright of 50 acres. Or more likely, Robert simply sold his headright to Wilkinson and used the proceeds to purchase land elsewhere. 1658 is not necessarily the year that Robert Braswell came to Virginia, in all likelyhood he came several years earlier. It probably took Wilkinson several years to collect 120 headrights, each worth 50 acres of land, for a total of 6,000 acres.

  • Biography*: ROBERT BRACEWELL, Jr. and his younger brother, RICHARD (c.1652-1725) sold off their Isle of Wight inheritance from their father as soon as they came of age in the mid-1670's and removed to Nansemond County, nearby. The records from that county and period were lost in a courthouse fire. RICHARD took his wife, but ROBERT left his behind, and only returned once (of record) to give his "wife" SUSANNAH a power of attorney to answer suits in Isle of Wight (DB 1, p. 202). We may infer that SUSANNAH was something of a Xanthippe or runaround , not only from her own behavior, but from the checkered marital career of her mother, MARY FLAKE BURGESS,who was beaten so badly by her husband, JOHN COLLINS, in 1694, that she required SUSANNAH BRASWELL's and BRIDGET LEWIS' personal care to recover (DB 1, Orders 1693-1695, pp. 50-51).
