He was later promoted to sergeant of the Invalid Corps. He probably was

Brunswick county, nursing his wound.

In 1880, John, Susan and Antoinette, now 21 years old, were continuing to

Note for: Rebecca Moore, - FEB 1878 Index
According to "Civil War Solider from Brunswick County, Virginia:"
"John (Tucker Braswell, one of her sons) enlisted in the Brunswick Grays,
Co. G, 21st Infantry Regiment and was killed at the Battle of Cedar
Mountain on 9 August 1862 when Stonewall Jackson struck General Banks.
His mother, Rebecca, filed a claim for his personal effects and the Army
pay owed him. With her husband already dead, she now had lost her only
son in the war. She gave her address as Gholsonville Post Office."
Note: Even though the book says John was her last son, she actually had
another son, William L. Braswell, who lived into the early 1900s.
