The county history of 1880 has no passage naming this settlement, which was common for the smaller places. Its township is covered in full.

Museums hold 93 specimens collected within 10 miles of Braffetsville between 1905 and 1969: 92 Animalia, 1 Plantae. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by B. Montgomery, L. Alward & P. Alward, Clark, C. F. (Clarence F.), MB Trautman and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.

The eight closest, with where each one stands in the county. Distances are straight-line, computed from the Geographic Names Information System coordinates.

Matched on this settlement's Geographic Names Information System number rather than its name, so it cannot be a different place of the same name in another state.

This settlement is recorded in the Geographic Names Information System as feature 1064478. The sheet list is computed by point-in-boundary test against the United States Geological Survey's historical topographic inventory.
