Hello to all Just for the sake of curiosity, does anyone out there happen to know who the parents of Enoch Brinson were? He was born about 1784 in Craven Co North Carolina and wound up in Texas during the early 1830's. He is listed as being one of the original 300 colonists of Stephen F Austin. We Texas researchers keep finding references to this Brinson and would like to know his background. I have enjoyed reading the messages sent to the list, it's a great way to share information.

David, I downloaded your 1850 US map with no problems. Where did you find this map? Can you send the others that you have? Thanks Joe Brinson

Hello to Everyone on the list -- My name is Robin Clark. My great-grandmother (on my father's side of the family) was a Brinson. I am interested in exchanging information.

Hi All, Enclosed is a map of the USA in 1850 it's attached. It shows the distribution of the Brinson's. I also have one for 1880, 90, 1920 & 1990. I hope you can view it. If not I will try & convert it. I found it here, where you can search for other surnames, if it's still here !? David Brimson, Oxford, England.

I suspect that the accent of the family made it sound like "Stirring". When the will was drawn up, it was surely not written out by this dying man, but a person with legal authority to do so. He signed his name as Stirring. Perhaps, even he, thought that was how it was spelled. People were not as literate in those days as we are now. - JPC) ========================================================== MIn Bk SC "A" 1815-1822 Screven Co, 7-15-1818 Petition of John and Adam Brinson Executors of last Will and Testament of Isaac Brinson ===================================================== Certificate found in files at Archives at Atlanta under Burke Co GA, Jefferson Co.

Joe - since you are so close to Sylvania, Screven Co, GA, you ought to take a trip down there to the Library and look at the Screven Co History Book. I believe there is some on the Capers family (you have Daniel Capers Brinson) in the book. Millen is so close to Sylvania - and to Wrightsville, where our Brinsons went after Jefferson Co, GA. Our Bryan family (which m into Brinson family) was from Allendale, SC and went to Sylvania, GA before the "War of Northern Aggression". A Bryan son, Lewis Martin L Bryan, married Sarah Asenath Humphreys of Allendale. One of her sisters married into the Bowie Family, which was closely kin to the Capers. If you don't have anything on the Capers, you could find something in Sylvania. Best wishes - Judy

Roy Vestal >> Ok Roy - I have a scanner, but don't know how to use it yet - so this is an abridged article from the Screven Co History Book Mr Brinson and his Railroad The rr we know as the S & A was once called the Brinson Rr and this name is still occasionally heard in Screven co, although it was officially dropped in 1914. It serves as a memorial to George Mills Brinson, a distinguished promoter and businessman who missed being a native of Screven Co by just a few miles. Mr Brinson was born in 1861 at the home of his father M.S. Brinson, near Millen. Jenkins co had not yet been created and his birthplace was then in Emanuel Co, and not far from Screven C. with no more than a meager education, he left home as a very young man and went into the lumber business in Emanuel co. He rapidly became a prosperous businessman and soon got into the rr business by promoting the Wadley Southern railway, which was originally about 100 miles long. In 1906, while he was building the Brewton and Pineora railroad, the Statesboro News had this to say of him : (etc) Years later he moved to Savannah with a million dollars or so he had made out of his Stillmore operations. It was at this time that he launched the Brinson RR which was only a part of his varied business activities, lumber, naval stores and banking. the Brinson Railway was chartered under that name on May 16, 1906. the line was opened for passenger traffic from Savannah to springfield on may 27, 1907, and the first frieght train was operated on aug 3, of the same year. (and so on) It tells of his involvement in other rr in the area, including the Savannah Valley rr. on June 2, 1910, the name of the Brinson RR was changed to the Brinson Railway Co, probably indicating that Mr Brinson had been engaging in some equity financing to support the rapid expansion of the line. (It goes on about growth and that he sold about 1913 to James Imbrie of NY. He "built one railroad too many", it says, because his nemisis was Midland Rr co which was chartered May 17, 1915 with a proposed route from Savannah through Pineora, Statesboro, Swainsboro and Sandersville to Milledgeville. Mr Brinson called on Bulloch co Businessmen to buy stock and they responded favorably. On March 9, 1922, Midland went into recievership and George M Brinson president was appointed receiver by Judge peter meldrim of superior Ct, Savannah to "administer the property under the orders of the court". It was put up for sale at public outcry, but no bidder appeared. 11-22-1923 the Judge ordered the Midland Rr to cease operation." mr Brinson was in his later years "no longer a rich titan of commerce and industry." He died May 7, 1941 at Brooklet Ga and was b in Macon. he had no children. Screven Co Brinsons (there are others, but out of time) William "Bill" Jason Brinson and Frances Zeagler had twelve children. their son Washington Kilpatrick Brinson was the ninth child. The other 11 were Rufus Lafayette, born June 21, 1861; William jason, Jr, b jan30, 1863; Solomon simeon b 4-4-1865; John Lucius, b 12-23-1866; Charity A S b 12-4-1868; Nancy Ann "Annie" b 10-12-1870, James Hamilton "Hamp" b 6-15-1872; mary Rachel b 3-22-1875; Martin Luther, b 4-12-1879; Barney Styron, born July 17, 1881; cora Frances b Nov 17, 1883.

Hi Y'all, I'm looking for information about Eli C. BRUNSON (b.1821 AL) married in 1851 AL, Sarah HOLCOMB(b.1832 MS d. 1912 TX), daughter of Robert HOLCOMB. Eli's father may have been Sam BRUNSON (b. 1794 SC). Does anyone know more about this family? I look forward to your reply. Kerry (Way Out in West Texas)

Hi - I was going over some of the Brinson queries tonight and I found a Daniel of the right age and in the right state. The only thing is that his parents were from Burke Co, and that is quite a distance from Albany, where he enlisted. There were units in Screven Co and, I am sure, in the areas of Burke and nearby. However, just on the chance that this might be the right Daniel, I am sending this outline.

You can read of it in the Screven Co History Book, edited by Dixon Hololingsworth. These Brinsons were descended from the early Robert Brinson and through Adam I, I believe. Would have to look it up, and will if anyone is interested. Judy

Hi all, Anyone know of an Alan David Brinson (BA) Cambridge University List of Members, up to 31 December 1988. Brinson Alan David ; Trinity Hall, Ba 1985, Ma 1989. As far as I know he's not from the UK. Either American, Australian, New Zealand or South African. He is a stray (so to speak) & I don't have any more data on him. Cheers.
