Joann Your email to the group concerning the Huxford Library is very enlightening, thank you for sending it on. My descendant was Mathew Brinson, b.1789 Onslow Co NC and died 1861 in Shelby Co Texas. I know his ancestors and descendants, but I have never been able to find out anything about his first wife, Henrietta McLamore, who I believed he married in Georgia. He married a second time in Al(?) to Elizabeth Carrigan and had more children. Is there anything listed in the papers you have about this Brinson family?
