How interesting, Beth.In my mostly fruitless flights thru space, "on my broom", chasing Balls, Conways, Howards, Wills/Wells, Walkers, Madisons, who have crossed somewhere with my more immediate Riggs/Myers lines I got this:
On the Madison site someone posted the 1732 will of Ambrose Madison (grandfather to Pres. James Madison) in it he mentions "to be laid off some part of my land which I have in company with GEORGE BRAXTON Gentleman and others."I'll bet this is the George whose grave you found and also that he was closely related to the Carter Braxton who is much mentioned on this forum.
Now I wonder who George's two daughters married? My husband's g,g,grandfather was John BRAXTON Madison, born 1808 died 1899(Yadkin Co., NC)so I have been looking for a Braxton woman who married a Madison.If anyone knows of such please contact me. Thanks, Rickey
