Dear Jackie, How many times have you been called an angel! This line of Linda Bell Brisbane's is too close to not have a connection....I am in shock! I was sure that my family was not from PA and always ignored queries and info with PA in it. What is sort of funny is the Grover marriage....my great aunt Edith was a Grover.....I will have to see if she was related even before marriage to George Brisbane. When Nancy wrote saying she was sending my letter to you....the name sounded like one I had seen. So last night I looked in the archives, and you have so much research! I can't remember which letter it was...a will I think, you mention Briston as a spelling. I can't get over how much this name changes back and forth. Briston was the spelling in James P. Brisben's marriage records to Rose Walner. This new info is great...but...of course it just leads to more questions. I have a note I hung onto about marriages in Jefferson Co., IN, and it may clear up the ???? you have in the list below for the child of John Brisbin and Mary Clark Young.......Elizabeth W. Brisben, m. Nicholas D. Grover, Jefferson Co., IN, 20 June 1821. Have no proof, but it seems to work time wise. 2 John Brisbin b: 1766 Lancaster Co., PA d: Jul 1837 Madison, Jefferson, IN .... +Mary (Clark) Young b: 11 Jul 1776 m: 05 Jul 1796 prob.
