In "The Ancestry of David Bracewell, " Carey Bracewell describes
the fourteen-generation lineage traced from Edmund Bracewell, who
was born in Grantham, Lincolnshire, England, c. 1510, to Carey's
son, David Bracewell, who was born in Texas in 1964. He outlines
the career of the first American Bracewell, the Reverend Robert
Bracewell (1611-1668), a Londoner, Oxford graduate, and
"Cavalier"-one who was invited to Virginia to take charge of St.
Luke's Church, now a national historic landmark.Following the lead
of the Reverend Bracewell, Carey Bracewell explains how each
successive generation has faithfully emulated his example of
pioneering religious leadership. More than just a recitation of
genealogical lineage, this family history tells the fascinating
story of how the Bracewell men and women struggled and brought
Christianity to the wilds of Tennessee, southern Illinois,
Arkansas, and Texas. Among their many lasting accomplishments, one
Bracewell ancestor, Richard Brazil, founded the oldest Baptist
church in Arkansas. Bracewell published a genealogical journal on
the Bracewell family and started the Braswell DNA Project. He was
the first to discover the DNA profile that traces the family back
to one man who lived in Bracewell, Yorkshire, in the late Middle
Ages.

Drawing from a wide range of sources, this work is a continuation
of one line of the Bulkeley family, focusing on the ancestors and
descendants of Moses Bulkley (1727-1812) last presented in The
Bulkeley Genealogy by Donald Lines Jacobus in 1933. The
relationship between the earliest American ancestors on this line,
Reverend Peter Bulkeley and Reverend John Jones, founders of the
First Parish Church in Concord, Massachusetts in 1636, is
re-examined. New evidence revealing critical errors made by Concord
historians since 1835 will re-characterize the essential clerical
friendship the two men shared and show the true reasons for John
Jones's removal to Fairfield, Connecticut in 1644. Using census
records, rare newspaper articles, obituaries, wills, surrogate
court records, and family stories, this line of the Bulkeleys of
Concord and Fairfield is chronicled in a new family history
covering the mid-18th century to the present. The
Bulkeley/Bulkley/Buckley genealogy is supplemented with genealogies
of several families these Bulkeley/Bulkley/Buckleys married with in
the 19th and 20th centuries. This work evolved into a "search and
rescue mission," and offers a comprehensive on-paper reunion of
families that have been documented to the beginning of the 20th
century, and a few who have never been documented in a genealogy.
