I am in contact with Perry Brisbin on occasion and believe that he is a subscriber. Whether he wants closer contact is a decision he would have to make. But think I am safe in passing along his stated intent to, early next year, publish an update of the book. I'm certainly looking forward to it. Perry has provided me with some great information on my ancestors, when the prospects of finding them seemed bleakest. Thanks for bringing this to everyone's attention - now all one has to do is find a copy of the limited press run! For those who have not tried it out but have Brisbins in Illinois and Wisconsin, suggest typing BRISBIN in the surname slot of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), General Land Office (GLO) site for the Eastern States. Quite a few Brisbin land patents there for some folks. don in laos - a generation away from being surnamed Brisbin

GEORGE MYTINGER BRISBIN George Mytinger Brisbin sent the following information to 'Notes & Queries Historical and Genealogical', Relating Chiefly to Interior Pennsylvania, Annual Volume, 1899., pgs 93-95. Edited by William Henry Egle, M.D. M.A. +Muriel Brisbin Morrison says that the village of Brisbin, PA is named for George Mytinger Brisbin. "Captain John Brisbin of the Revolution" - (The following communication came into our hands a number of years ago. The writer was George Mytinger Brisbin, Esq., of Osceola Mills, PA. Accompanying was the roll of Capt. Brisbin's company, but as this is published in the History of the Pennsylvania Line in the Revolution, does not occasion its reproduction here. There are some points, however, in the letter which are interesting, and hence given.) In compliance with the promise I made you I have carefully copied the names from my grandfather's roll book, and forwarded them to you. There is some explanation which I deem necessary and will endeavor to make. Many of the names are spelled in different ways, where they occur in different places in the book. Grandfather spells his sometimes Brisben, and again Brisbin. I think he was unsettled about that time, as to the spelling of Brisbin. He was from Scotland, and the name in Scotland is spelled "Brisbane", where the title is still in existance. Dr. William Brisbane of Philadelphia, is my authority for the Scotch way of spelling the name. While in Europe he visited Scotland, and had a copy of the "Brisbane" coat of arms taken, and brought it home. Dr. Brisbane, I believe, is the son of William Brisbin, who was the son of grandfather. I have frequently heard my father say, many years ago, that his father and a brother came to this country together; another brother held a commission in the English army; that the two brothers at once espouced the Revolutionary cause and entered the army; the third brother was with Gen. Howe, at New York, and whenever the opportunity offered showed his tyranny over those he termed "rebbles". This fact becoming known to the "rebble" brothers, they determined to alter the manner of spelling the name, that their descendants might never have the sins of the tyrannical brother to answer for - hense "Brisbin". Grandfather had been in the English army before the Revolution, but what service he rendered I never knew, but he had a large land grant from George III, which was located on Green River, Kentucky, but during the war his papers became scattered, the land was monopolized by strangers and lost to him. ... General St. Clair's name is frequently made mention of in the accounts of the soldiers, from which I infer the regiment was in his immediate comand, although my father at one time had a letter from Maj. Gen. Anthony Wayne, highly extoling, Captain John Brisbin's services, but that letter was taken to Washington for some purpose and never returned to him again. Grandfather raised his company in Lancaster County - disposing of his farm for the purpose - which, I believe, at that time included the territory now covered by Dauphin and Lebanon Counties. His headquarters while enlisting the company was at Harrisburg, although his home was afterwards at Bird-in-Hand, where my father was born in 1784, after the war was over, of course, and where grandfather married again, for the third time. He was a widower during the war. His third wife was a widow named Wood, who was my father's mother - whether she was the widow of the Col Wood, who commanded the regiment, I have forgottenif I ever was informed, but somehow it occurs to me she was. I have copied a receipt which is in the book of one of the soldiers, a copy, I suppose, of the many given. It is as follows: April 10th, 1777 "This is to certify that I have received from Capt. John Brisbin, of Col. Wood's regiment, in full of all demands, as wages for my services in said regiment, as witness my hand. Hugh Reed. Attest - A. Steel." Grandfather had gone into the continental service in easy circumstances and come out of it poor, and long after the war was over he was harrassed by creditors, from whom he had gotten supplies for his company, but before he died he had paid everything. A copy of a letter which is qreserved in this book will serve to illustrate what I have asserted. It is as follows, to wit: "Mill Creek, Jan'y 12th, 1783. Sir: I just now received your letter concerning the tow steers I bought from John Logan. I bought them for nine pound, Congress money, in the year 1777, the 12 day of July. You wrote to me I bought them in the year 1776. Sir, I was in Canada that year. I have sent the depreciation of nine pound by John Craige, Esq., which was three for one. If you find any error in it, send me word by John Craige, and your receipt for the money. I am, with respect, your humble servant, John Brisbin. Mr. Daniel Climer." This book, made up of the stamp paper, is in a silapatted and torn condition, as it naturally should be, after having been carried and used nightly, from camp to camp all through the eight years' war of the Revolution, and handled since then for a hundred years, but there is still enough of it left, strange to say, to make it a very desireable relic for those interested. John Brisbin, a son of Capt. John's, was also a soldier of the Revolution. He settled in Centre County and some of his descendants are residing there now. Capt, John Brisbin is buried in old Paxtang churchyard. The inscription on the stone is as follows: CAPT. JOHN BRISBAN, Soldier of the Revolution, Who Departed This Life, March 13, 1822, Aged 91 years. G.M.B. *******************

Am still trying to get my head clear on the Brisbin line. Below is apparently the line my family descends from. When the name changed from Brisbane to Brisbin (assuming it did), I have not yet worked out. And I have other bits and pieces taken off the Internet that need to (hopefully) be fitted together with that below. One thing pretty clear, however, is that this line, at least, were Empire Loyalists at the Revolution and moved from New York to Canada - then migrated into the US again later. (And this said over the long weekend of the Fourth.) It is noteworthy too that many of the Brisbins were centered in Illinois, Wisconsin. Checking the US gov land records in these states shows considerable activity by various Brisbins in the 19th century, particularly in Wisconsin. I've also run across a BRISBINE family from IA census. The mid-1800s. Will post if someone wants a look at brevity, but it is a name with some children's names. One of the things needed is names, dates, locations, even if approximations, on the postings. Helps immensely in (hopefully) piecing together families.

Hi everyone and thank you Peter! This list really did need a wake-up call. I have often seen the Carolina Brisbanes in the census and wondered why we've heard from any of them. Now we know a lot more! Looks great! I recently found the Ged Com sent to me by the late Ken Brisbin of Canada, it was lost in my computer. Here is something for you Don. Enjoy & contact me so we can figure out how to get the whole gedcom to you. I think it looks like some of it came from one of the World Family Tree volumes.

Once again, Jackie... thanks so much for all your involvement with the Brisbin list. This latest information sort of leads to the Brisbins in Illinois and Missouri... so I guess I'll be in the following here shortly. I just wish there were more of my family around so's I could brain squeeze 'em. Clarence Edward (Bradley) Brisbin (1952, Peoria, Illinois) Jackie Marshall wrote: > Hi everyone and thank you Peter!

Jackie, what you sent is one of the more exciting events in my family tree search, which isn't terribly old. A few weeks ago, literally, myself and my nephew (in CA) were in despir about ever piecing together my grandfather's line. There were vague recalls of "Ioway" from him in the 1950s, but absolutely nothing else. His children thought he was born in Iowa, but.... He led a family of fruit tramps from Iowa to Colorado to God knows where, ending up in California in the mid-1930s. And just didn't stop moving about until in mid mid-60s. Bits were pieced together with bleary eyes from poring over records. Then Perry Brisbin in Canada stepped in with an outline of some of what you just put on your msg - then yours - and much is beginning to fall into place with other bits and pieces. What you posted is magnificent. If there is more, I'm overwhelmed. And I suspect many of those on the Brisbin list will find keys to hooking many of the seemingly separate Brisbin families together. (There are only 345 or so of them listed in the SSDI.) Will get back to you, Jackie, privately soonest on working something out. Just down-loaded the PAF 4.0 tonight, but have no idea how to use it yet. Have not yet used a genealogy program. A bit of a learning curve ensues. Again, a zillion thanks, and yes, lets continue with a bit of life in this here Brisbin list. Peter, Bill, Edwin, Karen, thanks too for adding some starter fluid. Babbling from tiredness, monsoon heat/humidity and excitement. don in laos

Hello, I'll try this again---maybe it will ring a bell with someone! This is my g.g. grandparents--unable to find Mary Ann's parants and sibling proof. Mary Ann Brisbin/Brisbain married to John Hayhurst They were married in Hamilton Co. Ohio Feb. 14, 1841 Mary Ann born ca. 1820 and died between 1900-1910- census records Here are other names in Hamilton Co. Ohio, but have no proof of connection to these people(so far) John Z. Brisbin married on July 14, 1843 to Eliza Risk Arthur Brisbon married on Mar. 8, 1835 to Sarah Goshorn Sally Brisbun married on Nov. 9, 1836 to Joseph Williams The story is Mary Ann's mother was a Montgomery and her father was from Ireland. But no proof of this story. There was a Robert Brisbin in Hamilton Co. born ca. 1825 died ca. 1870 married 1st Margaret Howard, 2nd Kate His father is Robery Brisbin Sr. born 1770-1780 I know this is all skechy but it's all I have- Thanks Sara

Ron & Edward, Thanks, I subscribed about to weeks ago but there was no activity. I thought I had been unsuscribed. I guess we need to keep on huffing and puffing. peter gold
