Robert II (Jr.) known as clerk. It is not known at present if "clerk" is a title or vocation. However, it is used by his name in many of the records and distinguishes him from his father. He is listed as eldest son of Parson Bracewell on page 588 of Isle of Wight by Broddie and as son of Robert, the Minister, in the William & Mary Quarterly, Vol. 7, page 229. He received a gift of land from his father on January 16, 1660. Based upon this record Robert II (clerk) was probably born around 1635. His year of death, around 1674 is based upon a land transaction found in Isle of Wight by Broddie, page 569, where Robert Braswell, son of Robert (clerk), sells land where James Bagnall lives to said James Bagnall, Robert’s father, Robert, Clerk, dec’d, lived there and gave same to him in deed of gift. The James Bagnall mentioned here was the husband of Ann Bracewell, daughter of Parson Bracewell and sister of Robert, clerk. The date of the above land transaction was August 27, 1674
