Dear Carol, My greatgrandmother Sarah M. Brinton was born PA 1848, daughter of George M. Brinton born PA 1814 and Susana Funk born PA 1821. Sarah's Grandmother Sarah Matlack (for which the intial "M" in the foregoing), grandfather John Brinton. Brintons are an old Quaker family. My grandfather William Blackburn and Sarah resided Penn Twp, Westmoreland Co. PA from at least 1870 to about 1905 when all moved to California. Your Brinton Blackburn is very interesting, because I have another line where Brinton was used as a first name in the person of Brinton Darlington. In addition to Darlington and Matlack, other associated family names are Smedley, Dicks, Mercer, Borton, Kinton, Haines, Bagley, Thatcher, and some others. In addition to my grandfather, William John Blackburn, Sarah and William had children as follows: Samuel Z., Eleanor, Grace (married Paddison), and May (married Simmons). I am not aware of any movement of the family to Ohio but it is possible that Samuel Z. Blackburn moved there. Let me know if any of this sounds familiar, and I am checking it with the lists also. Good luck !! William John Blackburn III otherwise known as Bill Mt.
