Andersons of Colonial N. Carolina

A daughter of Rev. Robert Bracewell, Jane, married the unfortunate rebel with the stretched neck. (Full disclosure, I would have been on his side). I have been perplexed and bewildered for years attempting to map where the property was. So I shall omit any whining on my part and just simply lay out the clues as I have amassed over the years…

This is very “roughly” where I think it was… but I am busily re-working this area…

…as usual, don’t click this image…click the blue filename below to open a better view…

I’m presently nitpicking these clues and particularly am intrigued with the last one (which I have only recently dug up)…

If I can somehow get a coherent grasp of how James Long’s property adjoined the Braswell (et al) property then perhaps that will help to make some sense… and perhaps I can make better sense of the Robert Scott connection. This has been a tough nut to crack…

An aside… a Braswell commenter just rattled my cage… it seems this is my best guess of where the original preacher may have lived:
