Am looking for information on John Brimer born about 1815 in Jefferson County, Tennessee according to his U. S. Army records in the Indian Wars. He married a Holybee girl about 1835 to 1840 probably in Monroe County, Tennessee or a nearby county or they may have married around Fort Gibson, Indian Territory (Oklahoma) where he was stationed in the Army. The Holybee girl was born about 1820. (Source: This information came from the pension record 2750 and 3798 of Hezekiah Holybee (her brother) for the Indian Wars.) John Brimer died 24 Oct 1843 in Jefferson Barracks, Missouri. while in the military. They may have had children but the Holybee girl whose name was changed to Brimer most likely married again so am looking for any census that may have Brimer children with parents of a different name. I know the Holybee family lived in Indian Territory (Oklahoma) in 1840s, Green and Platte Counties in Missouri in 1850s, Crawford (Fort Smith) County, Arkansas, 1850s then on to Texas and Oklahoma from 1850s to present.
