My affairs are in an uncertain state, but I will promise 1000 pounds to be paid in 1766, and the further sum of two thousand pounds I promise to give him, but the uncertainty of my present affairs prevents my fixing on a time of payments: the above sums are all to be in money or lands and other effects at the option of my son John Walker.
I am sir, your humble servant,
Thomas Walker"
Col. Bernard Moore, Esq.
"In King William"
Here was the reply:
Dear Sir: Your son, Mr. John Walker, applied to me for leave to make his addresses to my daughter, Elizabeth. I gave him leave, and told him at the same time that my affairs were in such a state that it was not in my power to pay him all the money this year that I intended to give my daughter, provided he succeeded; but would give him five hundred pounds more as soon after as I could raise or get the money; which sums you may depend, I will most punctually pay to him.
I am your obedient servant,

I am exceeding sorry to hear of your unfortunate Circumstances and wish that the situation of my own Engagements, woud permit me to subscribe more largely to your relief than they will; but having several pretty large Sums of my own to pay in a short time it is utterly out of my power (with any sort of convenience) to advance more than One hundred pounds for the purpose and on the terms you mention; this I am willing to do, and accordingly have wrote to the Trustees informing them thereof. I have no doubt of your putting me upon as good a footing as any of the other Subscribers and therefore do not condition with you for terms or say anything further on that head but again beg that something effectual may be done to secure myself and Brothers from the payment of your Bond to Mr. Lightfoots Estate, as I am sensible it woud be attended with great Inconvenience to some of them to advance this money and be a hardship upon us all. I am Dr. Sir, etc"

My affairs are in an uncertain state, but I will promise 1000 pounds to be paid in 1766, and the further sum of two thousand pounds I promise to give him, but the uncertainty of my present affairs prevents my fixing on a time of payments: the above sums are all to be in money or lands and other effects at the option of my son John Walker.
I am sir, your humble servant,
Thomas Walker"
Col. Bernard Moore, Esq.
"In King William"
Here was the reply:
Dear Sir: Your son, Mr. John Walker, applied to me for leave to make his addresses to my daughter, Elizabeth. I gave him leave, and told him at the same time that my affairs were in such a state that it was not in my power to pay him all the money this year that I intended to give my daughter, provided he succeeded; but would give him five hundred pounds more as soon after as I could raise or get the money; which sums you may depend, I will most punctually pay to him.
I am your obedient servant,

I have no doubt of your putting me upon as good a footing as any of the other Subscribers and therefore do not condition with you for terms or say anything further on that head but again beg that something effectual may be done to secure myself and Brothers from the payment of your Bond to Mr. Lightfoots Estate, as I am sensible it woud be attended with great Inconvenience to some of them to advance this money and be a hardship upon us all.

Gov. Alexander Spotswood documentation of a dual identity for Edward
Fitzpatrick/Richard Brayne in a couple of places.
In HISTORY OF THE CARTER FAMILY, compiled & edited by the American
Genealogical Research Institute, Washington, D.C., 1972, on page 428, it
reads:
"Charles Carter was married secondly to Anne Butler Moore. She was the
daughter of Colonel Bernard Moore, and her mother, Anne Catherine Spotswood
Moore, was the daughter of Major-General Alexander Spotswood. Major-General
Spotswood's wife, Anne Butler Bryan, was the daughter of Edward Bryan of
London England.
Edward Bryan was the son of Bryan MacGill Patrick, the Fifth Lord of Upper
Ossory, who had assumed the name of Bryan after discarding the family name,
MacGill Patrick. His mother was Lady Margaret Butler, the daughter of Sir
Walter Butler, the Eleventh Earl of Ormond."
In GENEALOGIES AND TRADITIONS: BRAYNE - BENGER - BARTON - FRENCH by
Elizabeth Maxwell Alsop Wynne, Printing House of Park Indiana, Pennsylvania,
1931, in the forward it reads:
"This little sketch was written primarily that my children and grandchildren
might learn more of their ancestors - from Richard, son of Lady Margaret
Butler and Bryan Fitz Patrick, Fifth Lord of Ossory, who, quietly dropping
the Fitz Patrick, and transposing the "a" left behind him "the pomps and
vanities" of court life, and became simply Richard Brayne - down to my own
well remembered and beloved grandmother, Betsy Barton French."
In GENEALOGY OF THE SPOTSWOOD FAMILY IN SCOTLAND AND VIRGINIA by Charles
Campbell, Albany, 1868, on page 15, it reads:
"During the year 1624 [this is a typo and should be 1724], Governor
Spotswood married Ann Butler, daughter of Richard Bryan, Esq., of
Westminster. She derived her middle name from James Butler, duke of Ormond,
her godfather."
In ALEXANDER SPOTSWOOD: PORTRAIT OF A GOVERNOR by Walter Havighurst,
Williamsburg, VA, 1967, on page 108, it reads:
"Before the end of the year 1724 he [Alexander Spotswood] was married to
Anne Butler Brayne, god-daughter of the Duke of Ormond and daughter of
Richard Brayne of St. Margaret's, Westminster."
Certainly this is a well perpetuated rumor if not based in fact.
Some other information I have on this Richard Brayne. He married Annie
Bignold, the daughter of James Bignold of Shere Co., Surrey. They lived at
an estate called John's Cross. They had four daughters and no sons: Anne,
Diana, Butler, and Dorothea. Butler married in 1724 Virginia Governor
Alexander Spotswood and emigrated to America in 1729 with her sister
Dorothea, who married the Governor's nephew and secretary, Elliott Benger.
The two sister that remained behind are said to have lived at Shelton (or
Shalton) Grounds in Westminster, London.
I came across some information that Bryan Fitzpatrick, the 5th Lord
Baron of Upper Ossory, was also the Vicar Apostolic of Ossory, and was
murdered by Cromwell's soldiers. Might that have provided the impetus for
Edward to change his name in order to remain disguised?
The historical impact of this person is of some importance since he is an
integral part of the history of the Spotswood family and the Carters of
Shirley Plantation. (Although my last name is Carter, I am not of this
family; I am a descendant however of Richard Brayne's daughter, Dorothea.)

He was He promoted Benjamin Franklin to be postmaster for the province of Pennsylvania.4 He SPOTSWOOD, Alexander, governor of Virginia, was born in Tangier, Africa, in 1676. He became a soldier early in life, and served under the Duke of Marlborough at Blenheim, attaining the rank of quartermaster-general in the British army. He was appointed governor of Virginia in 1710; and became extremely popular, introducing constitutional reforms and receiving the co-operation of the general assembly. He was instrumental in the restoration of William and Mary college; and established a school for the education of Indian children. In 1716 he formed the first exploration party to venture into the Appalachian mountains. This party consisted of his personal friends, Indian guides and servants, each gentleman wearing a small golden horseshoe, and being afterwards called the "Knights of the golden horseshoe." He named Mounts George and Spotswood and took possession of the Valley of the Virginia in the name of King George I. He instituted the order of "Tramontane" to encourage further explorations, secured a treaty with the Six Nations in 1772; and introduced the plan to extend the Virginian settlements, to interrupt the means of communication between Canada and the Gulf of Mexico. He was renroved in 1772 on account of a controversy arising as to his right of appointment of church livings. He was deputy-postmaster-general of the colonies, 1730—39, and postmaster of Pennsylvania.

Fitzpatrick/Richard Brayne in a couple of places.
In HISTORY OF THE CARTER FAMILY, compiled & edited by the American
Genealogical Research Institute, Washington, D.C., 1972, on page 428, it
reads:
"Charles Carter was married secondly to Anne Butler Moore. She was the
daughter of Colonel Bernard Moore, and her mother, Anne Catherine Spotswood
Moore, was the daughter of Major-General Alexander Spotswood. Major-General
Spotswood's wife, Anne Butler Bryan, was the daughter of Edward Bryan of
London England.
Edward Bryan was the son of Bryan MacGill Patrick, the Fifth Lord of Upper
Ossory, who had assumed the name of Bryan after discarding the family name,
MacGill Patrick. His mother was Lady Margaret Butler, the daughter of Sir
Walter Butler, the Eleventh Earl of Ormond."
In GENEALOGIES AND TRADITIONS: BRAYNE - BENGER - BARTON - FRENCH by
Elizabeth Maxwell Alsop Wynne, Printing House of Park Indiana, Pennsylvania,
1931, in the forward it reads:
"This little sketch was written primarily that my children and grandchildren
might learn more of their ancestors - from Richard, son of Lady Margaret
Butler and Bryan Fitz Patrick, Fifth Lord of Ossory, who, quietly dropping
the Fitz Patrick, and transposing the "a" left behind him "the pomps and
vanities" of court life, and became simply Richard Brayne - down to my own
well remembered and beloved grandmother, Betsy Barton French."
In GENEALOGY OF THE SPOTSWOOD FAMILY IN SCOTLAND AND VIRGINIA by Charles
Campbell, Albany, 1868, on page 15, it reads:
"During the year 1624 [this is a typo and should be 1724], Governor
Spotswood married Ann Butler, daughter of Richard Bryan, Esq., of
Westminster. She derived her middle name from James Butler, duke of Ormond,
her godfather."
In ALEXANDER SPOTSWOOD: PORTRAIT OF A GOVERNOR by Walter Havighurst,
Williamsburg, VA, 1967, on page 108, it reads:
"Before the end of the year 1724 he [Alexander Spotswood] was married to
Anne Butler Brayne, god-daughter of the Duke of Ormond and daughter of
Richard Brayne of St. Margaret's, Westminster."
Certainly this is a well perpetuated rumor if not based in fact.
Some other information I have on this Richard Brayne. He married Annie
Bignold, the daughter of James Bignold of Shere Co., Surrey. They lived at
an estate called John's Cross. They had four daughters and no sons: Anne,
Diana, Butler, and Dorothea. Butler married in 1724 Virginia Governor
Alexander Spotswood and emigrated to America in 1729 with her sister
Dorothea, who married the Governor's nephew and secretary, Elliott Benger.
The two sister that remained behind are said to have lived at Shelton (or
Shalton) Grounds in Westminster, London.
I came across some information that Bryan Fitzpatrick, the 5th Lord
Baron of Upper Ossory, was also the Vicar Apostolic of Ossory, and was
murdered by Cromwell's soldiers. Might that have provided the impetus for
Edward to change his name in order to remain disguised?
The historical impact of this person is of some importance since he is an
integral part of the history of the Spotswood family and the Carters of
Shirley Plantation. (Although my last name is Carter, I am not of this
family; I am a descendant however of Richard Brayne's daughter, Dorothea.)

He was He promoted Benjamin Franklin to be postmaster for the province of Pennsylvania.4 He SPOTSWOOD, Alexander, governor of Virginia, was born in Tangier, Africa, in 1676. He became a soldier early in life, and served under the Duke of Marlborough at Blenheim, attaining the rank of quartermaster-general in the British army. He was appointed governor of Virginia in 1710; and became extremely popular, introducing constitutional reforms and receiving the co-operation of the general assembly. He was instrumental in the restoration of William and Mary college; and established a school for the education of Indian children. In 1716 he formed the first exploration party to venture into the Appalachian mountains. This party consisted of his personal friends, Indian guides and servants, each gentleman wearing a small golden horseshoe, and being afterwards called the "Knights of the golden horseshoe." He named Mounts George and Spotswood and took possession of the Valley of the Virginia in the name of King George I. He instituted the order of "Tramontane" to encourage further explorations, secured a treaty with the Six Nations in 1772; and introduced the plan to extend the Virginian settlements, to interrupt the means of communication between Canada and the Gulf of Mexico. He was renroved in 1772 on account of a controversy arising as to his right of appointment of church livings. He was deputy-postmaster-general of the colonies, 1730—39, and postmaster of Pennsylvania. He established the first iron smelting furnace in Virginia, and maintained courtly establishments on the Rapidan and at Yorktown. He was appointed major-general in 1740, and given command of the expedition to the West Indies, but became mortally ill before embarking.
