The author has cultivated a broad knowledge of 17th- and 18th-century sources, and his publications are known for their extraordinary attention to detail.

Not one to accept older scholarship at face value, his findings have debunked myths and mistakes in any number of older genealogy publications. This new work, which features John Brayton's usual fastidious research, presents the Bridger ancestry with the author's trademark interspersing of genealogical descents, transcribed source records, and historical commentary. Following are some of the highlights of the Bridger volume in Mr. Brayton's own words: \"This monograph is a follow-up of a genealogical chart generously presented to me by Barbara Dossett of Dallas, TX. It contained a skeleton outline of Joseph Bridger's ancestry for five generations, plus the double connections to the Elliots . . .

Boston is mentioned many times in county records as a place of origin. The North Carolina counties of Perquimans, Pasquotank, and Currituck, as well as the Virginia county of Norfolk, also contributed to Beaufort's migrational base. Beaufort County records are the subject of the latest work from genealogist John Anderson Brayton, the author or transcriber of scores of books and articles pertaining to the early families of North Carolina and Southside Virginia. This volume is derived from original Land Record Books 12 through 20. Arranged chronologically, these record abstracts consist of (1) instruments of sale from grantor to grantee, (2) deeds of trust based on collateral, (3) decrees issued by courts in which a debtor's property must be sold to pay off a debt - the debtor may be deceased, (4) Deeds of gift, which are similar to indentures, and (5) straight sales of Negro slaves from one person to another.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Anderson Brayton\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2011, paper, 176 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780806355122\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e101D-9424\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Anderson Brayton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43356227567734,"sku":"101D-9424","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/101d-9424-1500px.png?v=1777495677"}],"url":"https:\/\/heritagebooks.com\/collections\/author-john-anderson-brayton.oembed","provider":"Heritage Books, Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
