JACOB BRACEWELL, SON OF RICHARD BRACEWELL (1651-1724)
Jacob Braswell, a younger son of the first Richard Braswell of Isle of Wight Co., VA, was the first Braswell in the Edg. area. He received a grant of 284 ac north of the Tar River and in an eastern direction of Swift Creek in 1728. Deed 3-286. This tract of land, would, have been a few miles northwest of where Tarboro now stands, probably in the area of the Leggett community. Jacob sold his land to Robert Braswell in 1740. Edg Deed -391. Jacob also patented 528 ac north of the Tar River in 1729 . The boundaries of this tract were marked by trees growing on the bank of the river. Evidently this land was near the site of the present city of Rocky Mount, as the river makes a turn just north of the city and flows in a outhwesternly direction. Jacob lived on this land for many years, but sold part of it to Benjamin Bunn in 1748. He sold the last of his holdings in Edg Co. 1762 and moved to Johnson Co.
