Thanks for your response.
The Susanna referenced in the will of Richard Towle IS Susanna Burgess, wife of Robert Bracewell, Jr. At least 3, and probably all of the children of Susanna Burgess Braswell were fathered by Richard Towle.
I am a descendant of Britton Brassell (c.1750-1827) who appears, based upon DNA to have been a descendant of Susanna and Richard Towle. There is quite a bit of circumstantial evidence linking certain Braswell men carrying a particular DNA signature to Susanna. That DNA signature certainly does not match that of proven descendants of Reverend Robert Bracewell of IOW, VA. If Susanna's children were indeed sired by Robert, Jr., one would expect the DNA to illustrate that.
If you have not done so, please visit the Braswell List on RootsWeb and browse the discussions presented there relative to Susanna Burgess Braswell.
