Daughter of Noel Posey Massey 1755-1828 & Lucinda Freeman 1756-1826. Both parents died in Anderson County, South Carolina. She lived, died and was buried on the place where she was born. She and her husband, George Braswell, Sr., were the parents of 17 children, 16 of whom she raised and became head of families. Only one of her children was priviledged to be present at her burial. Her brother, Silas Shaw Massey, died a few days ago at the advanced age of 100 years. She lived a quiet useful life, 39 years of which were spent in widowhood. She early connected herself with the Baptist Church, held an uninterrupted membership therein and fell sweetly asleep in Jesus. Peace to her memory.
