"At the June term, 1735, Charles Carter and William Beverley reported as to the agreement they had been ordered to make with Colonel Spotswood for land to set the courthouse on, but nothing appears to have come of it, for in October, 1736, a proposal being made where to build it, the Court, after debate, agreed that it be built at the place appointed by the commissioners "near the Governor's Ford on the south side of the Rapidan. At the same term application was made to the Governor for orders to alter the place of holding court from Black Walnut to Mr. Bramham's house in December next, "it being near where the courthouse is, with all expedition, going to be built," and notice was given that workmen meet at the November term to undertake the building.

At November, after debate where to bild, the Court agreed with John Bramham that he lease twenty acres of land to build it on for 120 pounds of tobacco per annum, and that the plot should "include the convenientest spring to Cedar Island ford."

"The next term was accordingly held at Bramham's house, and it was at this location of the courthouse that Peter was decapitated and his head stuck on a pole, and that Eve was burned at the stake, as appears from the orders published in the text."

[My notes: This may be Sarah Bramham who was in the 1850 census as the mother (b. 1809) of children with William Walton. The reason I say it is not the "other Sarah Bramham from the Nimrod Bramham family" is that there are no slaves listed, and Sarah Bramham, as the wife of Nimrod, is married to Nimrod at this time and would be listed in his household. It could not be Sarah Bramham, Nimrod's daughter, either, as she would not have been old enough to be the h/h.)

One researcher says that they doubt that this particullar Mary could have had another set of children in the 1870's, that the ages are to far off to be Mary E. Bramham that is the d/o Nathaniel Bramham, Jr. & Jemima Dalton Bramham Jr.

The fact that this household has a son named "Sheffie" leads me to believe that there is a connection to the above genealogy.

Oak Lawn, Cherry Avenue and Ninth Street, Charlottesville, VA
p. 93 'Louisa County Homes'
This unusally appealing example of Jeffersonian Palladianism is one of the many structures scattered through central Virginia whose architecture was invluenced by workmen who learned the fundamentals of classicism while in the employ of Thomas Jefferson at the University of Virginia. The three-part house, with its pedimented cetner section and flat-roof Tuscan portico, was built in 1822 for Nimrod Bramham, a merchant who served in the House of Delegates. After Bramham's death in 1847, Oak Lawn was sold to the Reverend James Fife, an influential Baptist minister who in 1823 helped organize the Baptist General Convention. Born in Scotland, Fife served as the city engineer for Richmond before moving to Charlottesville. Oak Lawn has remained in the ownership of Fife descendants. 104-31 (4/17/73). There is a picture on this page.
I was looking at this house outside for the graveyard when invited in by the Fife owners. The gravesite behind has two sections; one is Bramham descendants; one is Fife descendants. In this Bramham cemetery is buried, coincidentally a man by the name of Richard N. Pinkard. This leads me to believe that the Nimrod/Ludlow Bramham family had some connection to my Pinkard Napper Bramham.
Another fact that would make a connection between my Bramham family and the Ludlow Bramham family is that there was one deed between the two different families.

MARY NAPPER TRUE

Re posting: True-Reunion KY Author: Roger Date 14 April 2000 7:59 AM GMT In Reply to: Robert G. True/Elizabeth Davis True (Ky) by True/Cherokee
Dear Grace,
My greatgrandfather was Thomas True. He was born in Bath Co.,VA. in 1835. Family legend says he was Cherokee. His parents were Boswell and Mary Napper True. Thomas moved to WV in 1866. His oldest brother's name was James. He also moved from Bath Co. VA before 18780. Does this tie in with your True's? I am also interested in information about the True reunion in KY. Could you send me the details about it? Thank you, Roger.

My notation:
Great-great-grandfather: Boswell True and Mary (Napper) True

Great-grandfather: Thomas True, b. 1835, Bath Co., VA. (legend: Cherokee) Moved to WV in 1866. Brother's name was James, also moved from Bath Co. VA before 1870. (Didn't say where he moved to.)

Email on the Net - from Roger - in part:
"My great-great grandmother was Mary Napper True, daughter of Mary Ratliff Napper and Thomas Napper. I know that they were Native American just can't document it. They never lived on an Indian Rservation and were never listed as Indian."

Another email - from Roger - in part:
"My Dad had said his mother California was Indian (American). California True did not pass on what nation of Indian she was. Family legend also says her father was killed because he was Indian. Thomas
J. True moved from Bath Co., Va to Clarksburg, V and then to Vindex MD and then to Doddridge Co., WV, where he died on January 29, 1889.

REV. GEORGE MORRIS
On Pinkard Brannon's pension papers, it is stated that he and Eliza Gibson were married in
Louisa County, Virginia by George Morris.

"A History of Louisa County, Virginia" by Malcolm Harris
p. 194

"Rev. George Morris was chosen minister, one of the members of Goldmine, and one who had for a time been preaching among them. With him came a divsiion. He was baptizing candidates and receiving them into distant churches, which the Goshen Association did not hold right. Consequently the church was split and Morris, with a majority, held to old thompson's Meeting house, and the other faction, which was recognized as regular Baptist byt he Association, built a state at what was later to be the site of Goldmine church, for here they grew and flourished until 1805, when they built themselves a church building."

I am not sure that this is the same George Morris, as Eliza has on her tombstone that she belonged to the M.E. church for 61 years, which would have made her join in 1843, before she was marrried.
