Note 96 — HISTORY (continued 2)
Reading edition
Purdie & Dixon’s Virginia Gazette, September 26, 1766. Mercer spelled the name Brownley in Ledger G, but in the Gazette article it is printed consistently as Bromley. As published in the George Mercer Papers it is spelled, and perhaps miscopied, Bramley. We have chosen Bromley as the most likely spelling, in the absence of other references to him.
