Add PhotosIt is believed that Aaron and Nancy Braswell came to Madison Co, Mo with their daughter, Willia (Braswell) Norton and her husband Abraham Norton. (A church letter dismissing the Norton's in good standing from the Mt. Moriah Baptist Church in DeKalb Co. TN, is dated "Saturday before the second Lord's Day in Sept 1852")
The Braswell's made their home on the old Norton place and family tradition say "when Nancy died, Aaron buried her where he could see her grave from his window". When he died, he was laid to rest beside her. The graves, in a field, were plowed around and left undisturbed as long as the Norton's and their descendants, including Otto White's wife Myrtle Norton, owned the farm. It is believed that the grave markers are no longer standing today.
