Charles & Persis (Brandegee) Brace” (source), her great-granddaughter Ella (Chapin) Browne’s DAR application has “Charles Brace and Persis Brandegee, his wife” (source), and the Brace Lineage, from the Brace side, says Charles “married Pursis Brandicha and had six daughters” (source). Her name was passed down: a daughter Pursis (Mrs. Avery), and Sally’s daughter Persis Brandegee Chapin (1823-1843).
