I'll type this information from the Edward Pleasants Valentine Papers concerning the Izard and Bracewell families on this forum so that other researchers can see it. You have my permission to post it on the Izard Forum if credit is given to the Valentine Papers.

I only found one reference to a George Izard and it was from Middlesex County Records, but it might be valuable to you. It says: "George Izard imported into this colony by Honble. Ralph Wormley Esq. July 3, 1699. O.B. 1694-1705, p.288." (Valentine Papers, p.625)

I found other Izard and Bracewell entries under Isle of Wight County Records (Valentine Papers, p.623-624:
"Richard Izard on a Coroner's Jury. April 4, 1664. Bk.1, p.8"

"Richard Izard, Planter of Isle of Wight Co. from William Thompson Mercht. of same Co. for valuable considerations. 250 acres whereon sd. Thompson now lives, 'Which I formerly bought of Robert Godwyn and Jane his wife and given to ye sd. Jane by ffrancis Lynch? her father which sd. Francis Smith (sig. Lynch?) bought the land of Mrs. Margaret Upton, Relict of Capt. John Upton' all Houses, Edificies, fences orchards gardens with whatsoever thereon now growing. 26 Jan. 1664. Wit. Thos. Woodward, James Bagnall, John -X- William. Recorded ffeoy 9, 1664. Bk.1, p.28."

"Richard -X- Izard aged 54 yeaers deposition of; Xbr 14, 1665. Bk.1, p.45."

"Mr Izard lands adjoin Col. Robert Pitt. Mar. 9, 1665. Bk.1, p.68."

"Richard -X- Izard witness to conveyance between Anthony Spiltember & John Jennings. April 9, 1668. Recorded April 9, 1668. Bk.1, p.130."

"Richard Izard appointed guardian to sons of Robert Braswell [sic] and granted administration of the estate of sd. Robert Braswell. Bond 5000 lbs. tobacco and cask. Security Thomas Green and Richard Penny. Aug. 20, 1668. Bk.2, p.16."

"Rebecca Izard relict of Richard Izard, decd., granted administration on the estate of sd. Richard Izard. Bond 80000 lbs. tobacco and cask. Security Mr. Marshall, Lt. Smith and Mr. Sharp. 23, 7br.1669. Bk.2, p.20."

"Robert Braswell [or Bracell] his heirs - Daughter Jane Stockes, sons Robert & Richard: Guardian of children Richard Izard & Geo. Gwillen. Gave to Richard Izard a gold ring. Died possessed of 700 acres of land, a mill and many negroes. Dated Feby. 15, 1667. Wit. Richard Izard, George Gwillen. Proved May 1, 1668. Bk.2, p.52."

"Richard -X- Izard, will of: dated May 22, 1669. 'beinge Sicke in Body'. To two daughters Mary Izard & Martha Isard [sic] Two third parts of all my proper estate either in land or chattles or my other goods whatsoever belongeth unto mee. To wife Rebecca Izard the other third part of my estate and if in case that either my daughters mary & Martha shall dye before they come to age that then my will is that the survivor of the aforsd Mary & Martha shall have the aforesd two thirdsparte of estate wholly & solitee only it is my willthat if any one of my two daughters by surviving obtayne the two thirds of my estate as aforesd That then the daughter so surviving shall pay out of the aforesd two thirds unto James Bagnall the sonne of James Bagnall two thousand pounds of Tobacco alsoe that two daughters Mary & Martha remaine with their Mother and also the divident of my estate bequeathed as aforesd and she to have the charge of it, until they come to age. Wife Rebecca Izard executrix, and Sonne in law James Bagnall be overseer of will. Witnesses John Burwell, Richard -X- Anglee. Proved & Recorded June 9, 1669. Bk.2, p.69."

Page 625 in the Valentine Papers contains the will of Rebecca Izard, and entries concerning Michael Izard and Frances Izard. I'll send those at a later date if you're interested.
