John married Catherine Amanda Thompson-[20387] [MRIN: 6916] on 12-17-1839 in Fayette County, Virginia. (Catherine Amanda Thompson-[20387] was born c1826 in Virginia and died on 9-4-1853.)

John next married Mary Jane Witt-[20388] [MRIN: 6917] on 10-16-1855 in Monroe County, Virginia. (Mary Jane Witt-[20388] was born in 5-1833 in Monroe County, Virginia and died in 6-1902 in Imperial, Chase County, Nebraska.) 
Biography* The Braggs were early settlers in Green Sulphur District, especially in the Laurel Creek and Chestnut Mountain region, and their descendants still reside in that section, but not in great numbers. The most celebrated Bragg of the name was Rev. John Bragg, a good Missionary Baptist minister, and who was a hardy pioneer in the work of the Master. Some mention of his great labor in this rough and then poor and sparsely settled region is due to history. He was a veteran soldier of the cross in the wilderness in all the surrounding counties. He was born December 21, 1815, and married twice, his first wife being Amanda Thompson, and the second, Mary J. Witt. By his first wife he reared twelve children, and by the second, eight, twenty in all. During his ministry he united in marriage 396 couples, and was the pastor of practically all the churches organized in the early days in the territory of Raleigh, Summers, Greenbrier, Monroe and Fayette Counties. In 1884 he removed to Imperial, Nebraska, where he died many years ago. He has two sons now residing in this county, Judson Bragg, of Pipestem, and Braxton Bragg, named after the two famous generals of the same name, one a Confederate general who fought at the great battle of Chickamauga, and the other a Union general of Wisconsin. One daughter, Mrs. Dr. Clement White, resides in Raleigh. [James Miller, History of Summers Co., WV, Hinton, WV, 1908, p. 569]
