Benjamin died before 1847 in Edgecombe Co. Nancy was born in Edgecomb Co., NC about 1800. Nancy was the daughter of Perminter Braswell and Margaret. The 1830 census Edgecomb Co., NC lists one child under five. He and brother, Ephraim Jr. both died before 1850, both had wives named, Nancy, which has caused some confusion in making definite identification of those listed in 1850 with mother, Nancy.
Evidence points to their belonging to Benjamin.
