Description	:	The following document appears to confirm the existence and rough location of Richens Brame Jr's family cemetery. --- On a trip to Mecklenburg County Virginia in June 1950, I was successful in identifying the home site of Richens Brame II who moved from Christ's Church on the lower Rappahannock, via Caroline County to Mecklenburg County, all in Virginia, in 1760.

The homestead is situated five miles East of Boydton and a mile south of a small railroad station known as Antlers. For the span of five generations the property has been owned and occupied by a family named Young. About 1914 the late J. W. Young, preparatory to constructing a new home on the site, demolished the old home with the exception of the central section comprising the first and second story hallways which he retained to form a rear corner of the present residence, as shown in the above photograph. The original home faced eastward whereas the new building was reversed and faces toward the west, so that the plantation cemetery, which was in rear of the Brame home is now in the front yard of the present residence. Inscribed headstones identify the members of the Young family who are interred there but the unlettered fieldstones that mark the resting places of the pioneer family preclude identification of their individual graves. Obviously, there were no stone cutters at that time in this remote country of the Occaneechee Indians. Inasmuch as Mrs. Young, the present owner and occupant, had lived in the old Brame home for some years before it was razed, in part, she retained an intimate knowledge of its structural details so that with the benefit of her memory I was able under her prompting, to sketch a likeness of the old Brame home, portrayed above. For the reason that it was constructed of hand-sawn timbers and weather boarding, in contrast to the round-log or hewn-log homes of other pioneers, Mrs. Young said it was known throughout the countryside, in the early days, as the "Brame fine home." J. Y. Brame III
