Joseph (3Richard, 2Robert, 1Robert) Braswell (Conjecture)
Joseph Braswell was born c. 1710 Isle of Wight Co VA. In about 1738 in Isle of Wight Co VA, Joseph married Sarah Kindred b. c. 1715 Isle of Wight VA. Note, this Joseph is not the Joseph Braswell, son of Valentine Braswell, found in 1743 and 1756 in Edgecombe Co NC land sales.
On 8/26/1745 Joseph and William, acting as Executors, presented their father's will in Isle of Wight County Court. Joseph and Sarah began their southerly migration sometime after their marriage. As both Joseph and Sarah's families had considerable holdings and both were recipients of considerable inheritances, some time would have been required to divest themselves of their holdings
In 1746 Joseph and Sarah sold lands in Isle of Wight Co VA which they owned jointly with brother William and his wife Sarah. In 1749 Sarah and her sister, Faithe, sold land in Isle of Wight Co VA to their brother, Samuel.
Joseph and Sarah probably were in Orangeburg Dist. SC by 1750. Joseph is reported to be found in the 1778 Orangeburg Dist. SC Tax Roll. And, he is believed to have died sometime thereafter in Orangeburg Dist. SC.
