It did say that... Brunson is an old variation on the same name which Brinson originated from. Brunson just isn't as common (because it's more of a mispelling of the root name, De Briencon, I would assume.) >> Hi Fredda - I know of some Brunsons in NC and Allendale SC from mid 1700's to 1800's. some are buried with out Humphreys ancestors in Allendale. I don't know anything about the origin of Brunsons name, though. judy Canant
