Hi Linda, I think I have something for you!!!! The connection with Samuel R. Brisbin came from Linda Bell Brisbane of Churchville, PA. I have to go look for her address, don't think she is on e-mail. So, what do you think of this? It isn't even my line, but I worked on it when I was trying to figure out where my John Brisbin came from. It is all pretty sketchy, but sure gives you something to start with. You'll have your work cut out for you too!!!!! I also have notes on Capt. William & on his son John. If you'd like I can make up a report that includes the notes, sources, everything and send it as an attatchment.
