Notes: Brothers was a surname found in the St. Peters Parish, New Kent County records. The strong possibility exists that the maiden name of Agnes was Brothers since she named her youngest child Brothers Finch.
Agnes Brothers? died circa 1772 Charles City County VA.
Brothers Finch was underage in 1745 when his father died and had to have a Guardian appointed for him. This fact places his birth after 1724. He was probably the youngest child since no other children needed a Guardian in 1745.
