From Ann H. Kahn of Sebring, FL, published in Braswell Branches, Vol. 9, No. 3, Summer 2000:
I connect with Judah BRASWELL m. William HUNT (IV), son Alexander and daughter Nancy. William IV was s/o Henry and Agnes HUNT. My Alexander was born about 1760 in Edgecombe Co., North Carolina. I have proven his service in DAR.
William was married to Ann Cloe at his death. In 1790 Judah HUNT was in Granville Co., North Carolina; William IV and children were counted in Robeson Co., North Carolina."
From Nona: My Lucreasy BRASWELL was probably born ca. 1750 (she married William WILLIAMS ca. 1778) and Lucreasy had a sister named Judah who was probably born by 1760 and was married to a Mr. HUNT before 1779. Judah had children Alexander and Nancy.
