Are your Brimers from Jefferson County, Tennessee or connected with a Holybee girl born about 1820. The Brimers I am looking for are any from Jefferson County. I know John Brimer joined the U. S. Army and came to Fort Gibson, Indian Territory, (Oklahoma) in 1837-40 and married a girl named Holaby, Holybee, Hollabe etc. I believe he left children and am looking for descendants. Following is information on him.

The pension record of Hezekiah Holybee, his brother-in-law, states his brother-in-law, John Birmer died in Jefferson Barracks, Missouri while in service.
