On this site it shows that his mother's name was Lensing.He was born March 18, 1890 in Missouri, and died September 2, 1946. I was one year old when he died. There is a William W. Brinker who married Georgia Rae Maganety. That is my Grandmother. They lived in L.A., more likely Glendale, California. There is also a William Brinker, Head of house John Brinker born March 1890. Address of 1900 in Rhineland, Town Montgomery, Missouri. I have a cousin that I have lost contact with. His name is John Brinker and he moved to Virginia about 30 years ago. I was told that either my Grandfather, or Great Grandfather was adopted. It is sad that I never wrote anything down. Who knew there would be a Internet, and Ancestry.com? William and Georgia Brinker had a daughter named Betty Merle Brinker, and a son John Brinker. Then my cousin was John Brinker's son. I don't know if this is helpful or not.
