    Cornelius, William, and George Bramhall are said to have come over from England about 1680, landing at Casco, now Portland, Maine. They and two others, Joseph and Mary, were the children of James Bramhall, R. N., and Lady Florence Temple. James was the only child of Cornelius Bramhall, a native of Canterbury.
    We have no information of the descendants of William Bramhall, and but little of those of Cornelius. The following record is that of their brother, George Bramhall, and his descendants.
