On 10 December 1830 Paschal "Peter" Bracey bought the property in Mecklenburg County where he spent the rest of his life. This property, 274 acres, was bought from Thomas Walker. “Beginning at a corner white oak on Parham’s Creek, thence down the creek as it meanders to Kings Corner red oak, thence N 44 degrees E to the St Tamnee road thence along said road to Allens Corner hickory, thence N 45 W to the beginning”. On this tract of land was his home, “Neville”. On 5 August 1836 he bought about 698 acres north of his property. He bought the mill and 6 1/2 acres of land on 10 March 1840. This was known and Thomas and Bracey and Bennett mill.

In 1857 Peter Bracey bough 616 acres of land at public auction at $7 per acre. This was the land where Charles King lived and died which was purchased by Charles and Wright King from Theophilus Field and wife, bounded by Bracey, Robert Tanner and O.M. Morse. This land had been patented by Theophilus Field .

Peter Bracey was a farmer, and enlarged and ran a mill. He loaned money, and charged interest. There were no banks at that time in this vicinity.

Peter Bracey wore a powdered wig. The story was told that once he was lying down in the back hall of “Neville”, (separated from the front hall by louvered folding blinds), when he was told that Armstead Boyd was coming. He jumped up and went to his room to put on his wig before seeing Mr. Boyd.

Parthenia Jones, (mother of Pattie Lambert-Bracey), and her sister, Mintie, were once visiting at the Baisey home and met Mr. Peter Bracey there. (He had promised Mr. Baisey at his death to look after his widow and children. He went regularly.) As he was leaving, he bowed to the young ladies and told them that they should meet his people.

Peter Bracey always carried a gun with him when he went out. He had a leather patch sewed on his coat shoulder to keep the coat from wearing out. It was thought he carried a gun because he was afraid the slaves might kill him.

When he died in 1863 an appraisal of his crops, furniture, and farm equipment, taken on 22 June 1863, showed his property to be worth $44,121.00+.

Before the Civil War, Virginius worked as a clerk in Petersburg, Virginia. After the war he was a telegraph operator and station agent for the Norfolk and Western at Ivor, Virginia. He moved to Suffolk, Virginia in 1866. On the census records of 1870, 1880, and 1900, Virginius is listed as living in Nansemond County, Virginia. In 1870 he is listed as "Keeping Bar"; in 1880, as "Merchant," with his father-in-law living with him; in 1900, his occupation was "Capitalist."

In Mecklenburg County, he was known as "Cap" but in Suffolk he was known as "Judge."

According to family tradition Annie (Riddick) Bracey owned the Nansemond Hotel in Suffolk. And also family tradition says that after they sold the hotel they moved to St. Tammany. However, they were in Suffolk on the surviving censuses.  (1890 population census for Virginia burned.)

"Cap" told the following story about himself:

He was living in St. Tammany when the Seaboard Air Line Railway was being built through St. Tammany (now Bracey), about 1898-1900. On one winter day, in rainy and sleeting weather, he rode north from St. Tammany in the cab of the work car, with the engineer. As he got out, he fell and was knocked unconscious. Joe Hagood carried him to the office of his store and lay Cap on the floor in front of the open fire, to dry out. When he came back to consciousness, he was looking into the flames of the fire. His immediate thought was that he knew exactly what had happened -- he was dead and in hell. Then he turned over and looked the other way. There was his younger brother, Nealy. He knew something was wrong with that -- he knew Nealy wouldn’t be in hell.
