Biography

(Research):There is a common folk-tale of "Six Bragg brothers in England. Three went North, three went South." Thomas, William, and John being the ones who went South.in England. They came to America, and became the ancestors of the vast majority of
Bragg families currently living in the United States.

Born in England around the year 1580, Thomas served a stint in the British Navy. was thenm hired by Admiral Christopher Newport to sail on the Susan Constan taccording to Daughter's of the American Revolution,

Thomas Bragg and Admiraal Newport's daughter Molly Newport were joined in matrimony about two years before the captain's death. Having "obtained land grants from the Crown" for his services in the Navy, Thomas and Molly settled down to begin raising their children, William (1624) and John , the first Braggs born in America,

Little is known about John and his family, but the descendants of his brother
William have been extensively researched. William had a son (John) in 1647born at Old Rappahannock, Virginia, the location to which William migrated.
