Notes

The Bronaughs were middling-level landed gentry, prosperous enough to be recorded in numerous county transactions throughout the changing jurisdictions of the Northern Neck region of Virginia. The Bronaugh plantation undoubtedly used numerous slaves, indentured servants, and other white employees to work the farm, some as overseers and others as tradesmen (smiths, carpenters, etc.).
