Pedigree for William Lemuel Horn II
     
     Edward Brantley came to Virginia as an indentured servant. On 18 June 1638, John Seaward was granted 400 acres in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, for the transportation of Edward and seven others. Two 400 acre patents in Seaward's name were recorded on the same day for the transportation of the same persons. Apparently there was a problem with the first patent, because "This land was surrended up and soe much land taken up in another place." The second patent was for "400 acres upon Warresquike River, now called New Town haven."2

Additional Data
Edward Brantly was granted 675 acres in Isle of Wight County "adjoining the land of Mr. England, and Mr. Tooke" on 30 October 1669.3
