From Carey Bracewell: "A John Valentine was a neighbor to Rev. Robert Bracewell John Upton to John Valentine, deed for 100 acres of Upton's original 1600-acre patent, dated 9 Jan 1650 and may have been instrumental in arranging the marriage between the Parson's son, Richard, and one of John Valentine's kin. We have no idea at present what Virginia county Sarah came from. She was not John's daughter, as proved by his 1652 IW will. It escapes me at the moment which Braswell researcher from the generation before mine first postulated Sampson as Sarah's maiden name. Whoever he or she was made too much of the fact that Sarah had a grandson by that Biblical name. The popularity of the name "Sampson" among many 18th Century Tidewater families should have been a clue that it was not unique to Braswells. There are no colonial Virginia Bracewell - Sampson records to even suggest such a connection to Sarah." \\
