The "family tree" format of this file represents Grace Bicknell's work from the early 1900s. It has many "Branhams" because several Vawters married Branhams.
Plus some family information gathered later on the family of David, son of John, who came to Texas to run the ferry across the Sabine.
Bartholomew's father could have been John, but there is no documentation to support this belief at this time. He could have been born in "the Colonies" instead of England. There is no record of his birth or immigration.
Bartholomew and Winifred had at least 6 children, John, William, David, Margaret, Benjamin and Edward. There was also a Richard and an Augustine that are the right age and were indentured to Bernard Noel.
SEE THE RECORDS OF GEORGENE JURGENSEN FOR MUCH MORE INFOMATION ON BARTHOLOMEW VAWTER AND DESCENDANTS, including land transactions, patents etc. (Grace Vawter Bicknell's book "The Vawter Family in America" is also included in another file on this website. Grace concentrated primarily on two sons of David and Mary (Offill, Offott ?), Jesse and Philemon, however they had at least four other children.
A notation by William Snyder Vawter in his documents points to the earliest land record for Bartholomew.
Taken from early Essex Co., Records:
The parish of Cittenbornd, Essex Co. 16 Dec 1693 sold 150 acres to Bartholomew Vawter.

Edward has been called "Edward the Builder" because according to family tradition, he helped build the Vauter Church. This is not verified, but his brother John was a vestryman of the church and they both were likely involved.
