    3. Hello MargM & Everyone, I am trying to find out about Maiden Brush. In the mid 1800s several of the Creighton children were born there and some died there too. I can't find out about the location on the Internet, but think it was probably a little to the north of the current Gosford township. Can anyone enlighten me as the the location and history of this area, and what it is now called? How did it get it's name? I know there is a road through Wyoming called Maiden's Brush Road, but this is all I have discovered. In the 1850's when my Creighton ancestor [William Creighton, son of Robert Creighton, the elder] lived here he was a sawyer and a wheelwright, so perhaps it was a timber-getting area? Regards Wendy McKenzie
