Dennis Lee Brokaw, Sr. Lcdr. USN Ret - Find a Grave ID 47251658 is extremely well read on this family and adds to this memorial the following information:
The majority of my early Bragaw information came from the published genealogy "Our Brokaw-Bragaw Heritage published in the late 1960's by a cousin Elsie Foster. A lot of her early Bragaw information was taken from the New York Genealogical & Biographical Record 1955-1956. I have since included the information from both sources into my personal database along with my own research. I will include here the page from Elsie Foster's book on Andrew Bragaw's Father Isaac Bragaw:
