The appraisers were Wm Huffe, Harrison Barnes, and Samuel Moseley. It was recorded on 29 March 1809 (Brunswick Will Book 7, page 320).
A sale of some of the estate was held at Samuel’s late residence on 23 December 1808, and payable on 25 December 1809. Tabitha Bracey bought most of the furniture, sheep, corn, etc. (Brunswick County Will Book 7, page 349).

In August 1818 her daughter, Tabitha, was appointed a guardian, named Samuel Huff, in Robertson County, Tennessee (Brunswick County Deed Book 25, page 22). On 13 November 1826, Paschal Bracey was given power of attorney for his mother, Tabitha King, of Robertson County, Tennessee, to secure her part of her mother’s estate (Brunswick County Deed Book 27, page 212). In a letter from W.C. Parham of Benton, Arkansas, to Sam Bracey of Little Rock, Arkansas, dated 30 October 1906, it was alleged that Samuel Bracey of Brunswick County, Virginia, had served in the Revolutionary War, but no records have been located to so prove such a statement. Samuel witnessed a deed of sale of 300 acres from Thomas Bracey to Sackfield Bracey, 23 November 1790 (Brunswick Co. Deed Book 15, page 128). He acted as security in 1795 when Thomas was granted a license to keep an ordinary at his house (Brunswick Co. Order Book 15, page 516).

He married three times. He married Mary Nancy Poyner 13 August 1827.(14) Bondsman was William B. Cleaton. Diggs Poynor, guardian of Mary, gave consent (her father was deceased). Nancy was the daughter of John Poynor.

Angelina was born 9 October 1815.(17) Angelina was the daughter of William B. Simmons. Angelina died 20 March 1883 in Mecklenburg County, Virginia.(18) On 13 December 1825 Paschal (Peter) Bracey sold to William Huff the 110 acres of land that he had inherited from his father on Lizzard Creek, along with his interest in the dower lands of his mother, Tabitha (Hicks) Bracey King (Brunswick County Deed Book 26, p. 474). On 13 November 1826, he was given power of attorney for his mother, then of Robertson County, Tennessee, to secure her part of her mother’s estate (Brunswick County Deed Book 27, page 212).
On 23 February 1828, he sold some property on Blacksridge in Mecklenburg County, near the Cook Place (Mecklenburg Deed Book 23, page 280). On 29 January 1830, he was an assignee of Diggs Poyner (probably father of his wife, Nancy, against Henry Rose and others (Brunswick Order Book 4, page 384).
On 10 December 1830 Peter bought 274 acres in Mecklenburg County from Thoms Walker where he spent the rest of his life at his home called “Neville” (Mecklenburg County Deed Book 24, page 393). He bought 698 acres north of this property on 5 August 1836 (Mecklenburg County Deed Book 27, page 82), and on 10 March 1840 he purchased a mill and six and a half acres, which was known as the Thomas and Bracey and Bennett mill (Mecklenburg County Deed Book 28, page 484).
Paschal and Angeline E. Bracey sold to Charles Turnbul and Peter J. Turnbull on 23 December 1842, 684 and 1/4 acres ini Brunswick County, land which he had purchased in the same year (Brunswick County Deed Book 33, page 86). In 1857 Peter bought 616 acres in Mecklenburg County at public auction for seven dollars per acre.
Peter Bracey farmed, ran a mill, and loaned money. He was said to have worn a powdered wig, and once while lying down in the back hall of “Neville,” so the story goes, he was told that Armistead Boyd was coming. He jumped up and went to his room to get his wig before meeting Mr. Boyd.
Another story about Peter Bracey concerned Parthenia Jones, sister of Pattie Lambert Bracey, and her sister, Mintie, who were visiting at the Baisey home where they met Mr. Bracey, who visited the widow Baisey regularly. As he was leaving, he bowed to the young ladies and told them that they should meet his people.
He always carried a gun with him when he went out, it was thought because he feared that the slaves might kill him.
An appraisal of his estate (crops, furniture, farm equipment) taken on 22 June 1863, showed his property to be worth $44,121.

As was reported in the Confederate Veteran in 1916: “‘A Veteran of Seven Wars’ is the title A.W, Bracey bestows upon himself, and he tells interesting stories of his ‘battles’ in these wars. ‘The first war I entered was the war for the Lord. The second war was the War between the States. The third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh wars were the wars in marriage,’ said Mr. Bracey. ‘I have been married five times and am now in my seventh war, but the conflict is not a bitter one.’ Chaplain William Stanley, of the Orphan Brigade, to whom he told this story, said he looked like he was good for several other wars.”(45)
In 1924 the Confederate Veteran carried this article: “A.W. Bracey, Sr., of LaCrosse, Va., now seventy-eight, renews for the Veteran and writes: ‘I was in the 14th Virginia Infantry, Pickett’s Division, and have been Adjutant of L. A. Armistead Camp, No. 26, U. C. V., for many years. I was the only veteran from my county (Mecklenburg) at the Memphis reunion; there are sixty now living in the county. I am the youngest of our Camp members and the last survivor of Company E. Our captain, J. C. Hutchinson, died in Chattanooga some months ago; had been living in Houston, Tex. He was a brave man and as smart as brave. I have been married five times and reared eleven children; have thirty-seven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. I married last when I was fifty and my wife was twenty. Have never spent a cent for tobacco, never was drunk, never made but one bet (as a boy on marbles). I was converted and joined the Church in 1863, and have led more songs in Church and seen more souls converted than any man of my age. Have seen the day when I could whistle against anyone, and can sing yet the notes to any tune, even ‘Goo-Goo Eyes.'”(46) Doll was considered to have a good singing voice and was well known for his physical strength. At about sixteen years of age he enlisted in the Confederate Army.

viii.    WILLIAM HICKS3 BRACEY, b. 1829; d. 1913.
ix.    HUGH DAVID BRACEY, b. 1831; d. 1914, Volusia Co FL.
Notes for HUGH DAVID BRACEY:
He married twice. He married Frances O’Brian 27 November 1851.(85) The minister was P.F. August. Mrs. P. Bracey gave consent for Hugh, who was under 21 years old.
He married Mary Cornelia 2 January 1878 in Marion County, Florida.(86) Mary applied for a pension from the State of Florida 24 March 1914 in Volusia County, Florida.(87) It was approved on 18 May 1914 at the rate of $120. She was then living in DeLand and owned a house and lot (Lot E, Block 6, Rich’s Subdivision, valued at $1800, with household and kitchen furniture valued at $150).
Ball was employed as a dentist.(88) Ball applied for a pension from the State of Florida on 31 July 1907 in Volusia County, Florida.(89) In this first application he gave his age as 76 and stated that he had enlisted in Company F (later transferred to Company I), 14th Virginia Regiment. He stated that he was discharged prior to the war under the Confederate law exempting those who worked 15 or more hands as farmers. In an application dated July 1909, he was 78 years old, stated that he had been in Volusia County, Florida, since November 1866, and had enlisted in Boydton, Virginia, in 1862 in Company F, 14th Virginia Regiment, and was discharged at Lee’s surrender, but goes on to say he was on detail from 1862 as a farmer in Mecklenburg County, Virginia and was not with the command at the time of surrender. He stated he had previously been granted a pension by the State of Florida at $120 per year. His itemized property at that date was: real estate at DeLand (Volusia County) ($2500), young orange grove at Ft. Ogden (DeSoto County) ($1500), personal property ($300). In an application dated 3 November 1913 in Volusia County, Florida, he was then 82 1/2 years old, stated he had enlisted at Norfolk, Virginia in the Petersburg Greys, 12th Virginia Regiment, afterwards transferred to the 14th Regiment, and that he was discharged in 1863 at Winchester, Virginia. He was supposedly involved at Seven Pines, White Oak Swamp, Malvern, Second Manassas, Fredericksburg, Harpers Ferry, and Sharpsburg. Documents in the file dated 1907,1909 and 1913 state that he ran a school for several years and that his “patrons” had obtained the discharge for him from President Jefferson Davis without his knowledge while he was in Maryland. He did not avail himself of its use until after the Battle of Gettysburg, keeping it in his pocket. After Gettysburg, he was having difficulty marching with a “lame foot” which he had had since boyhood. He was required to furnish a substitute in order to go home. After discharge in 1863, he spent his time in Mecklenburg County. “I have never ceased to be a rebel.” He then stated in 1913 that he had been deprived of the earlier pension he had, at first, received. Physicians’ certificates attest to his medical condition (senile debility, chronic rheumatism, and heart disease). He made reference to his earlier proofs of service. His claim was denied on 21 March 1910. A letter dated 31 October 1910 at DeLand, Florida by his brother, William H. Bracey, attested to his service. Hugh wrote a long letter of protest on the same date, making reference to his brother, William H. Bracey of Gainesville, Florida. Hugh persisted, writing to the Clerk of Court in Mecklenburg County, Virginia, looking for proof that he had served the government after his discharge. The claim was again denied on 23 November 1910. It was finally approved on 23 December 1913 at the rate of $150 per year. The record of the War Department, Washington, DC, showed that H.D. Bracey was a private Company F, 14th Virginia Infantry, from 1 May 1862 to 31 October 1862, the last roll on which his name appeared.
He graduated from Randolph-Macon College in Boydton, Virginia and also graduated from medical school as a dentist. He also served in the Confederate Army and was captured and imprisoned.

Notes for SAMUEL VIRGINIUS BRACEY:
He married Katherine McRae 12 February 1896 in Mt. Holly, Union County, Arkansas.(94) Katherine was born 24 May 1873 in Mt. Holly, Union County, Arkansas.(95) Katherine died 6 May 1939 in Little Rock, Pulaski County, Arkansas.(96) The following biographical account of Samuel was recorded in the Annals of Arkansas. “Samuel Virginius Bracy has been retired several years from his business and professional activities, but he still enjoys the renown and prestige won throughout the State of Arkansas during the active years of his life. ” Much of the esteem in which his fellow citizens hold him derives from the long and successful battle he fought to raise the standards of the pharmaceutical business and profession. He engaged in this battle both as a member of that business and profession and as a public official–having been president of the Arkansas State Board of Pharmacy for ten years. “He is also remembered for the distinguished service he gave while on the Compensation Commission and there are some, of ripe old years, who even remember him as the young man who was City Clerk of Hope, Arkansas, which first knew him as an ambitious, vigorous and brilliant college student and then as a druggist in his first job. “For years he was an active partner of Snodgrassf and Bracy, the drug store which was first at 120 Main Street, in Little Rock, and then–as now–at 110 Main Street–and which in its first thirty years was open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. “Through the years that he was giving long hours to the building up of the drug store he founded, to public service and politics, to civic activity, his church and the Rotary Club, of which he is a charter member in Little Rock, he also operated a farm. This is eleven miles out of Little Rock–and there he spends his retirement, occasionally venturing away from it only for his other hobbies, hunting and fishing. “Samuel Virginius Bracy was born in Camden, Arkansas, on February 11, 1872. His father was William Frederick Bracy, who was born in Mecklenburg County, Virginia, in 1829. The elder Bracy attended rural schools in Mecklenburg County, Virginia, ands then became a clerk in a drug store at Washington, Arkansas, to which he migrated when he was twenty years old. The drug store was owned by Dr. Penn Jett, of Washington, Arkansas, who, recognizing the acumen of his young employee, assisted him financially to obtain a start in a drug store business of his own, which was opened in Camden, Arkansas, and which William Bracy operated until 1879, when he sold out and retired to his farm. He died in 1893. The mother of Samuel Virginius Bracy was Ann Hawes (Coleman) Bracy, who was born in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1839, and who was educated at Princeton, Arkansas, and Memphis. She and William Frederick Bracy were married in 1858. Born to them, in this sequence, were Adele Bracy, India Bracy, Mary Bracy, Clara Bracy, William Bracy, Samuel Virginius Bracy, Anibel Bracy, Eugene Bracy, and Junius Bracy. Adele became the wife of M.C. Cross; India, of S.A. Buchanan; Mary, of C.R. Benson; Clara, of Lee Cross; Anibel, of Harvey Hudson. William married Frankie Newton; Eugene, Bertha Buford. The mother of these nine Bracys died in Camden, Arkansas, in 1904. “Samuel Virginius Bracy was first educated in the grammar and high schools of Camden, Arkansas, and then at Ouachita College, Arkadelphia. For his professional training he went to the St. Louis College of Pharmacy in St. Louis, Missouri, his father, who encouraged him in his choice of profession, having long known the disadvantages of a lack of pharmaceutical education for one in the drug store business. Young Samuel Bracy was graduated from the college of pharmacy when he was twenty-two. He had worked in a drug store since he was fourteen years of age. He then returned to his first job at Hope, Arkansas, where he remained fourteen years. It was in the early part of this period that he served as Hope’s City Clerk, for he had soon shown civic interest and exhibited civic leadership. In 1908, he moved to Little Rock, where he formed a partnership with Latta Snodgrass, another pharmacist, and they opened the Snodgrass and Bracy Pharmacy in 1898–the store which, in one location or another, was never closed through three solid decades. “Long a member of the Democratic Party, Mr. Bracy became active in its Little Rock organization soon after establishing himself in the capital city. At the same time, he became active in Little Rock’s civic affairs and in affairs concerning Pulaski County and the entire State of Arkansas. His ten years on the Arkansas State Board of Pharmacy as well as his presidency of this important body were natural consequences of his leadership in his field of professional interest and his civic and political activity. The same may be said of the four years he served on the State Compensation Commission. On the list of Rotarians when that organization was chartered in Little Rock, he has been a member for more than thirty years. He is also a member of the Little Rock Chamber of Commerce and an elder in the First Presbyterian Church in Little Rock, and a member of City Planning Commission for several years. “Mr. Bracy and Katherine McRae were married in Mt. Holly on February 12, 1896–one day after his twenty-fourth birthday. Mrs. Bracy was born in Mount Holly, Union County, Arkansas, on May 24, 1873, and died May 6, 1939, in Little Rock. Born to the marriage was Alfred McRae Bracy. He married Dorothy Huffmaster of El Dorado, Arkansas. They have two children, Alfred McRae Bracy, Jr., and Nancy Bracy now attending the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, Arkansas. Mary Eleanor Bracy, Samuel Virginius Bracy, Jr., and Clara Bracy who died in infancy were also born to this union. Mary Eleanor married Van E. Manning; her son is Van E. Manning, Jr. Samuel V. Bracy, Jr., who assists in the management of the Snodgrass & Bracy Drug Store, is the father of Samuel V. Bracy, III, Fletcher and Calvin Bracy, all of them students. “Well into the seventh decade of his life, Samuel Virginius Bracy finds on his farm all the compensations for his retirement as well as the rest which he feels he has earned in a long and strenuous life. Enjoying his memories, he also rejoices in the knowledge he served his fellow citizens well and that they, appreciating the extent and value of his service, will pass on to future generations the esteem for him which they have felt for nearly three score years.”

Pattie was born 10 October 1871.(39) Pattie was the daughter of George Lambert and Parthenia Jones. Pattie died 9 July 1950.(40) Her body was interred Bracey-MacAlphine Cemetery in Mecklenburg County, Virginia.(41) Mont served in the Confederate Army in the cavalry. He was in the battle of Williamsburg and in the Gettysbury campaign. Whenever possible, he obtained furloughs to come home, by promising to bring back a fresh horse to his commanding officer. This happened so often that he rode his horse by way of the creek branches as he neared home, so the neighbors wouldn’t notice his frequent furloughs.
During the war as Confederate money became highly inflated, Mont spent several hundred dollars (all he had), just before the surrender, for a meal, since he saw it soon would be worth nothing.
At the division of Peter Bracey’s property after he died in 1863, Mont received the King house and 40 acres. At the close of the war, when everyone was selling out to move south and west, he asked Col. Baskerville for his advice. The Colonel advised him to stay put because the land would become more valuable with time. Mont moved to the King house, farmed, prospered, and began to buy and sell land.
About 1880 he bought the St. Tammany ferry which crossed the Roanoke River. He also owned a blacksmith shop, a store, a mill, a distillery with his brother, Pack, operated, and an interest in a cotton gin.
