The following records show that Burwell W., James M. & Joseph J were heirs of their youngest brother, Thomas J, which proves that he had no wife or children. Their 2nd youngest brother, Duncan had died in 1832 at the age of 22. Burwell W. & Permelia Matilda's children were Sarah Ann Bracewell & James Polhill Bracewell, who moved to Hamilton Co., Florida with their mother before 1850 after Burwell died. James M's apparent only child was Mary Martha Bracewell, whose mother was a Boswick. James M. married 2nd Mrs. Sarah Jane Bright and they can be found in Key West, Florida in 1850 with her apparent son John H. Bright, and his nephew Thomas C. Bracewell. Joseph J. married Dorothy White, and their children were Amanda M, Josephus, Elizabeth, Martha Jane & Thomas Clinch. This is all based on records and the process of elimination.
