1. SAMUEL1 BRACEY was born 1762 in Brunswick Co VA, and died 1808.
He married TABITHA HICKS 1785 in Brunswick Co VA. She died 1858.
Samuel1 Bracey, son of Thomas Bracey and Mary Floyd, was born in Brunswick County, Virginia about 1760-1765.(1) Samuel died December 1808. Samuel died intestate. The guardian accounts of all four of his orphans are in the Brunswick County records (Guardian Accounts, vol. 1 (1815), page 56, and (1820) pages 111, 113, 115, 116).
An inventory of his estate was taken on 10 December 1808 and included 17 Negroes, much livestock and household furniture. Edward W. Harrison was administrator and Tabitha Bracey was administratrix. 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).
He married Tabitha Hicks 1 April 1785 in Brunswick County, Virginia.(2) The bondsmen were Hamlin Hicks and Thomas N. Smith, and the minister was Edward Dromgoole. The bride was “under age.” Tabitha was the daughter of Robert Hicks and Rebecca Harrison.
Tabitha died circa 1858.(3) An account of sale of Tabitha King was recorded in Cheatham County, Tennessee, dated 31 October 1858. The total value of the estate was $1059.61.
Signed, sealed and delivered in the presence of Elijah Hudgens and A.J. Teasley. Tabitha moved with her second husband and at least two of her children, Tabitha and Harrison H., to Tennessee. 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).

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.

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.

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.

ix. HUGH DAVID BRACEY, b. 1831; d. 1914, Volusia Co FL.
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.

11. ALTAMONT MONT HART3 BRACEY (PASHAL PETER H2, SAMUEL1) was born 1841, and died 1917 in Mecklinburg Co VA. He married (1) MARTHA PATTIE JONES 1863. She was born 1841, and died 1897. He married (2) PATTIE P LAMBERT 1899. She was born 1871, and died 1950 in Mecklinburg Co VA.
He married twice. He married Martha A. Jones 2 December 1863. Pattie was born 16 December 1841. Pattie was the daughter of Joseph H. Jones and Louisa Taylor. Pattie died 5 June 1897. He married Pattie P. Lambert 11 October 1899 in Washington, District of Columbia.(38) They were married by the Rev. S. Domer, pastor of St. Paul English Lutheran Church, 738 11th NW, Washington, DC.
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.

Hello, My name is Wanda Hughes-Greene. My Great Great grandmother name was Molly Bracey. I have traced my family tree back to Minerva Bracey who was born in 1825 and was owned by Pashal Peter H. Bracey. Based on my research I believe Abner Paschal Pack (1849) impregnated Eliza Bracey, Minerva Bracey daughter….. My Great Great grandmother Molly was their offspring. I am looking for any information pertaining to Abner Paschal Bracey descendants.
I see that this post was created almost a year ago to the day. I hope you are still checking in.
My story is similar to your story. Not only that, but your ancestor’s as posted above are intertwined with my own. My great grandfather descended from the son of William Huff in your post. Daniel Huff being his Uncle.
Our unusual Brunswick CO, VA stories may find us blood related as well.
Tabitha Hicks Bracey remarried after Samuel Bracey’s death in 1808. She married Dr. Benjamin King Dec 31, 1814 in VA. They had one known daughter, Hannah R King born ca 1814?. Hannah R King married John Louis Hudgens, son of Gabriel and brother to my Holder H Hudgens. before 1835 when a daughter Josephine T Hudgens was born. Benjamin L was born 1836 and Hannah R in 1839. Hannah R King Hudgens died around 1839 probably in childbirth.
John Louis Hudgens apparently left the children with his mother in law and went to Louisiana where in 1844 he married Henrietta Carlin Carlin. On the 1850 Louisiana, St Mary Parish census, Benjamin Hudgens is living with his father.
medicines and took all of my clothing. I get enough to eat but that is not all. I am under Dr. Bowling of Nashville and I cannot get enough money to get a small quantity of medicines for my own use. I would like very much to see you all but I do not have the means to go anywhere.
