Susannah BRACEWELL outlived her husband by many years. At this time in history a woman could not make a legal document unless she was single or a widow. Susannah Probated her Will on 22 October 1714, but it was not Proved until 26 June 1732. Since her will was legal there must have been some notice or information concerning her husband's death before 22 October 1714. She left the home plantation in the upper parrish to her son Richard, whom she named as her executor along with WILLIAM. To her son WILLIAM, she gave the old plantation house with forty acres of land and various household items. Susannah remembered her daughter Ann, her granddaughter Elizabeth BRACEWELL, and her grandson- John Riggs- with small bequests; and left the remainder of her estate to her elder son James BRACEWELL. This James later moved to Edgecombe County, North Carolina, and became the direct ancestor of the late James Craig BRASWELL, well-known citizen of Rocky Mount, North Carolina (Will Book 3, pg. 304). The children of Robert BRACEWELL, Jr. and Susannah BURGESS: James, Ann (BRACEWELL) Riggs, WILLIAM and Richard (father of Elizabeth).
