Sarah H, Jones says - June 08, 2011

My Grandmother was born in Albemarle County - her name was Sarah Ware Bramham (Father = Nimrod Bramham). She was kin to the Bibbs,and I believe there is a plaque referencing a business owned by Bramham & Bibb. I remember my Father meeting with a Charlie Bibb many times on our way through Charlottesville. Our family home on Cherry Street was eventually sold to the Fife family, and it is on the historical register. Goss is another family name. One of the many “Sarahs” in the family married John Stringfellow Walker of Woodbury Forest School.
