From A Compilation of Some of the Descendants of Roger Prichard: c. 1600-1671, 1953, "The Bradley family was from West Riding, Yorkshire, England, and were staunch Cromwell men. Sir William's title and the right to bear arms were conferred by Henry VIII. [Since Henry VIII died in 1547 and Sir William was born in 1597, this conferrence must have been to his father or grandfather.] He was an officer in the Parliamentary Army. After his wife died, Sir William entrusted his eldest son, William, to Theophilus Eaton, William Davenport, and a small band of dedicated men to sailed to the New World in 1638 to found a new colony.

Abbie Stewart Observes 100th Birthday
November 15, 1998 Abbie Bragg Stewart had her 100th birthday with a party at Twin Lakes Care Center. Her children and grandchildren hosted the party at 2 pm on Sunday afternoon. Relatives and friends attended.
Abbie was born November 16, 1898 in Sabine County at Isla, Texas (Milam now). She is the daughter of the late David Benjamin and Naomi Dorsey Bragg, granddaughter of the late Frank and Tabitha Halbert Dorsey, and the great granddaughter of the late Joel and Emaline Grindle Halbert from Mila
Abbie and her siblings grew up just off the Carter Ferry road in the Sabine river bottom, or Bragg Community. Her parents were farmers and raised cattle. She and her brothers and sisters went to school at Ross Springs school, which was approximately 3 miles through the woods from their home. They walked there and back each day, having to cross the Patroon Creek on a log. She attained the highest level of education taught at the school which was the tenth grade.
Abbie has one living brother, Edward of Center, Texas. Her other siblings were William Herman Jr., Carson, Sallie (Sanders), Anna Belle (Brown), Leona (Waller-Boyette) and Bessie Mae (Jones) and two brothers that died in early childhood.
Abbie and her family attended Bethel Church near Moss Springs school and there she met Thomas Grady Stewart. (This was later called the New Hope Church). After he returned from World War I the were married January 26, 1919. They lived in Hemphill about three year and then moved back on Dave Bragg's place, and later bought a home from Tom Bragg on the Carter's Ferry road. They remained there, farmed, and raised cattle. After Grady died in 1975, Abbie remained there until she was approximately 90 years old and then moved to the Twin Lake where she is living today.
To Grady and Abbie's union was born James Dalton, Doris Aileen (Waits), and David Gerald. Dalton and Gerald reside in San Augustine and Doris in Tyler.
Abbie has seven grandchildren, David Waits, Linda Jean Lyons, Judy Hodges, and Janice McCoy, Timothy, Bradley and Roger Stewart. She has ten great-grandchildren and four great-great grandchildren.
Abbie is Baptist and was active in the church, and played music for the church until she was approximately 88 years old. Beside being a homemaker, she loved to garden and flower garden. Back in the 30's and forties she loved her radio programs, Our Gal Sunday and Helen Trent. If she could not listen to the stories she would see that someone did and at lunch the story was told to the rest of the family, and every one kept up. Her hobbies were reading, tatting, crocheting, quilting, and sewing. She would read her Bible, and what ever else was available. At night during her children's high school years she would sit by the fireplace, and read the Literature assignments to them by the light of the fire and a kerosene lamp. She also read the Bible and Sunday School lesson to them.
There have been good times and bad times but Abbie was always there and willing to help.
Happy Birthday Abbie!!

The 1900 census seems to indicate he was born circa July 1856 in New York. Frank Bramhall, in his 1903 book "Genealogy of the Bramhall Family" instead shows a date of birth of July 23, 1851.
Eileen Bramhall-Hav? emailed, in May 2013, that on a visit to Alma some years previously, she had purchased a book about the history of that town.
She found the following brief mention of her grandfather's family: "About 1898-An Alma man named BRAMHALL invented a windmill-like machine which he claimed would replace the gold pan in placer mines. He tried out his "mill" in some black sand about four miles southeast of town and got a report back from the DENVER assay office, that it did contain traces of gold. Word of the report got out quickly "and everyone in Alma flocked over to this gulch" said attorney T.L. Porter. WC Murray, president of the towns First National Bank, either bought or leased the land and proceeded to sink a mine shaft with a crew that worked day and night. Samples were sent to Denver each time brought back slight encouragement from the assayer, who Porter felt was stringing the miner along"
Eileen added that Charles was a carpenter, and that she knows for a fact that he gathered his family and hightailed it out of Alma, not long after this, 'taking off for Kansas,' where daughter Ferne was born in 1900.

Ron Romano, a volunteer for Spirits Alive at Eastern Cemetery in Portland, provided the following transcription of the tombstone of Cornelius Bramhall:
In Memory of Mr
CORNELIUS BRAMHALL
Who decd March ye
28th 1761 In ye
53d year of his age
Ron further indicated that "I have been able to find no record of marriage or kids for Cornelius, so he either never married or any records of spouse/kids are lost. but there are no other Bramhalls known to be buried at Eastern Cemetery so I wonder if he just may never have married."
