About Elizabeth Bragg
Biography
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Bowman-851
Jeffery Robertson married Elizabeth Bowman, daughter of John Bowman and Elizabeth Elam Bowman. John is said, by some, to have been born in Switzerland. Elizabeth Elam was said to be the daughter of Martin Elam and Elizabeth Bolling, who was said to be the daughter of John Bolling and Elizabeth Bowling. Jeffery was literate since he wrote his signature on his will rather than making his mark. This certainly indicates that he had been educated to some degree, probably in Scotland, before he came to America.

Elizabeth, Jeffery's widow, married Hugh Bragg. His will proved 11 June 1736, listing her as a legatee (Will Book I, p. 1, Amelia County, Virginia). William Robertson and John Robertson were witnesses, and one of his daughters was named as Mary Robertson. Jeffery's son John was apparently a minor. Henrico County Colonial Records, Book 3, p. 56 lists a court order to William Robertson "who is security to Hugh Bragg for the guardianship of John Robertson" to be summoned to appear at the next court and bring the orphan with him (dated May 1739).
Notes
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Bowman-852
John Bowman Sr married about 1685 to the widow Elizabeth (Elam?) Nunnally, relict of Daniel Nunnally. By said marriage Daniel Nunnally's estate Bull Hill came under the control of John Bowman Sr. Bull Hill was on the south side of the Appomatox River near City Point and its site now lays within Prince George County. The John Bowman Sr - Elizabeth Nunnally marriage produced a daughter, Elizabeth Bowman born about 1690, who married Jeffrey Robertson about 1705 in Henrico. John Sr's death date is inferred by Elizabeth Nunnally Bowman entering land transactions in 1718 in her own name, indicating she was then a widow.
