Elizabeth,
In the 1740's there were Nottoway Indians from Southampton County, Virginia, with the name of Braboy (corruption of Brave Boy).Around that time 300 Nottoways moved to the NC/SC border area near the Lumbee.Do you think there is a connection?Was braveboy or brayboy/braboy a common indian name?
