One day about 15 years ago I spent a day in the Lib of Congress reading different sources about Brisbins. There is an old book there that outlines a revolutionary War Brisbin that tried to serve and was sent home because of wounds. In this account the man was wounded in the French and Indian War serving the King of England and never healed properly from those wounds. He was granted 5000 acres in Virginia as payment for his service to the King Which later he sold and expanded his Pennsylvania.. So far this sounds like the Captain James that has been much referenced lately. At this point what I have read on this list diverges from what I have read in the book. After being sent home he was made collector of war taxes. He did not collect taxes from all but paid the taxes for the women who were really strapped for money whose husbands were off in the war or had been killed. He had recruited many of these men. The total tax for the war effort was correct. Just the wrong person paid the tax. For this he lost everything and spent the rest of his life living as a pauper with his daughter. She appealed his case to congress several times and was finally successful in some exoneration for his actions and in the early 1800's he began to receive a very small pension. He never recovered financially and died in his daughters home about 1815-1820. Unfortunately, at that time I was chasing the New York Brisbins and did not take down reference notes to this source. Since I am not too far from DC and have a daughter up in that area, I could go to visit and do a day or so of hunting. This I will gladly do at some time if this story seems to be enough different so as to warrant the chase. I am sorry I did not reference the information at the time but then I wasn't not researching as much as reading and learning. George
