Hi Everyone, I'm still thinking about Brisbin problems. Has anyone found any more about the loyalist brother of Capt. John and Capt. William Brisbin? I'll paste my notes below. Jackie Loyalist BROTHER BRISBIN: George Mytinger Brisbin told a story of the loyalist brother of Capt. John Brisbin. He said that this brother held a commision in the English army and was with Gen. Howe at New York. He was said to be tyrinical and for this reason the American brothers changed the spelling of their name from Brisbane to Brisbin. Story printed in 'Eagle's Notes & Queries' Volume I, pgs 93-94. George M. did not name the brother. Dwight Miller's book on several families including BARR-BRISBIN gave a name to this brother: Hugh. He says that Capt. John emigrated to America abt 1754 with brothers William and Hugh and sister Janette. He also gives a name for Hugh's wife, S. Fetz. Mr. Miller made many errors in his book and I think we should keep that in mind. Anne Futch sent information she received from Linda Brisbane of Churchville, PA. In the Pennsylvania Vital Records, Vol I, there is a Hugh Brisben on page 296, marriage May 1746. In PA from 1742-28 Marriage Licenses, only the male name was recorded. I have also found this marriage on Family Tree Maker CD #172,'Pennsylvania Vital Records, 1700's-1800's'. This is a list of marriage licenses issued by Gov. James Hamilton and only the names of the grooms are listed. They are listed in two collumns, and across from Hugh Brisben is Sebastian Felty, another groom of that year and month. Here is where Miller got the 'bride's' name! At the Genealogical society of PA, Carlene viewed the original handwritten license "Hugh Brisbin May 1746" located in the 'Warren S. and Josephine I. Ely, Memorial Collection'. There is no conclusive proof that Hugh Brisbin was the brother of John & William.
