The TRUTH IS what I am seeking, SIR. I do respect you and your work.However, according to the "ladies" of the Tarboro Historical Society in a book published 1881, James who married Unity IS a JR.I know how difficult this work is.I as a Braswell, have had to change "my tree" MANY times.I understand how the the "professionals" would place James (where they did) who married Unity not knowing he was a JR.I had him where you did also.At ancestry.com if you go and read the description you will see that they stated THAT THE FAMILY MEMBERS OF 1881 WHO SUBMITTED THE INFORMATION for their families may have omitted other wives, and guessed at some of the dates.I did not include that as the list of the children WAS correct. Anyone doing this work knows they need to VERIFY everything and not just copy what someone else says is so.Do you have proof sir that James who married Unity is NOT a JR? The people of the time period 1881 say that he is!I realize that this might place James "JR" who married Unity under the James "SR" who is the son of Robert and Susannah which also might place him in Edgecombe Co. which does not compliment the "theory" that they were infertile, stayed in Virginia, and all of the rest of the propaganda "out there" blatant vulgar opinions of one who seems to be a very intelligent and educated man It is VERYdistressing to me that there is so much obvious hate "out there".I would suggest to all researchers of their family go to ancestry.com and see for yourselves.Make your OWN decision. This is YOUR family, OUR family at least by name, and they suffered much that we all might reap the blessings of their hardship and sacrifice.Calling a woman born in the 1650's a tramp and her children infertile bastards is BEYOND my comprehension.
SINCERELY WALT, AND I MEAN IT, ANN BRASWELL
