Isaac J. Brawley, born 24 Oct 1822 in Pennsylvania, is my 3rd great-grandfather. I know the Brawley's went through Indian, but one of the census entries said Isaac was born in Penn. I don't have info on his parents by do have info on his wife and their children. The youngest child, Leona May married James Washington Munday and they raised their children around Severy and Climax, KS. I would love to swap info, we are obviously looking at the same person and I guess I've found another cousin!

Agens Brawley, Russell County, VA

reajd — 2009-04-26 16:28:03Z

I am trying to find any information the Agnes Brawley who signed an agreement for maintenance in her old age with John Alexander Jr. in 1843 in Russell County, VA. Most Alexander researchers believe that she is the husband of the elderly James Brawley who is listed as living with the same John Alexander Jr. in the 1850 census of Russell County, VA. However, while I believe that she is related to this James Brawley, I do not believe that she is his wife. The argument everyone gives is that because he was not able to care for her, she entered into an agreement for such care with John Alexander. However, neither today's laws nor the laws of that time would allow a wife to enter a contract that effectively gives up what would in essence be community property and under the control of the husband. If she is James Brawley's wife, then his name should appear on teh document. Such, however, is not the case. Hence, I believe she is another Brawley related to John Alexander Jr and his family. Any info anyone has on her or the Brawleys of Russell County, VA, in the 1840s would be most appreciated.

johnw783 — 2008-08-27 23:57:55Z

Hi, I am probably butting in here, but I am a Brawley too, only I don't live in America but in Scotland. You probably know that the Brawley name comes from Ireland and means a pretty field, altough there is some dispute that it is hillslope field but I prefer the first one. My dad was born here in Scotland his name was Charles, but his father came directly from Ireland and he was James Brawley. The name seems widespread in the US, here it is confined pretty much to Ireland with the odd one here and there throughout Britain. It seems pretty clear that most of the US Brawley's are descended from the Irish Brawley's and further back than the great Irish migration as well, and there was some talk about the Brawley lineage being quite noble so it maybe that migration started very early to the US - it would be interesting to know. Anyway the reason for my post is to say, that I agree totally with your Dad.

Re: Looking for Brawley's

Bakerkid22 — 2007-10-17 22:51:09Z

I checked through the Brawley information that I have and didn't see any mention of a Jane Brawley. I am descended from John Brawley b. 7/16/1789 and Easter Dickey b. 2/20/1790. They lived in Rutherford, Tennessee before moving to Illinois and then to Missouri. They had 9 children, but none named Jane, that I am aware of. John Brawley had 3 brothers, Levi b. 1797, Hugh b. 1799, and Prior b. 1802. Perhaps one of them is the father of Jane. They were born in North Carolina and I don't know if they all came to Tennessee, like John did. I hope this is of help to you.

Re: Looking for Brawley's

Bakerkid22 — 2007-10-07 04:55:35Z

I don't know if our Brawleys are related, but I liked your query and would like to help you if I can. I'm a Christian Californian born in Long Beach, so we have somethings in common. Two of my great grandmothers had the maiden name of Brawley. They were Mary Ann Brawley and Isabelle Minerva Brawley. They were both from Reynolds County, Missouri, and their Brawley family had been in Tennessee and North Carolina before that. I can provide more information about my Brawley line, if you think it might help in your Brawley search.

My name is Lee (Elizabeth) Brawley & I am the widow of DONNIE EUGENE BRAWLEY. He was from Mo originally. We met here in FL. I have a few photos of him, one of him and I, and one he told me was of his daughter MISTY DAWN, she is holding a small dog in the photo. If anyone knows where MISTY DAWN BRAWLEY is please let her know I have some photos of her dad I want to get to her. I think I may still have her original social security card also. Donnie had it in with all his old papers. I am pretty sure I still have it. Donnie talked a lot about Misty and even wrote a poem about her. Would love to get that to her also. Misty's mom's name is DIANE. Misty should be about 18? now. Donnie's oparents names were ELMER AND MARGARET Brawley. My email is lackland60@live.com

Hi,
my Brawely relatives ended up in Ohio,
and the farthest back I have been able to
trace them is to James Brawley,
born 4 July 1797. These Brawley's were
and are in Ohio, but I have no clue as to
where they were prior!
If anyone has any information, I'd
love to hear from you!
Thanks.

Re: Researching Brawley's

biosearch — 2007-01-23 04:37:03Z

Also searching this line. John, Hugh, probably James and Thomas came with mother Agnes and settled in Rowan County, NC. in 1750 (abt) Brother William stayed behind to dispose of family property and came some say in 1769. John was well known figure in early Rowan County. There is reason to believe Agnes is buried in Rowan County. Fathers name is unknown. I have heard Hugh and also William. He probably died in Ireland before the wife and sons left. Hugh was a very popular first name in this family so that is a possibility.

I was reading your post, and I have relatives that are Brawley's in California. I believe that is where my family lived before coming to Oklahoma. I don't know very many of my relatives since most of them passed before I was born, like my great grandfather Albert Brawley. All I really know of him is that he helped build Lake Murray in Ardmore, Ok. I'm wondering if we are related considering your relatives are also in California.
