Before I list the bible info below, I just thought I would mention that Genforum now has a "BRISBEN" board. Here are the listings from the BRISBEN family bible. (note: William Brisben, Elizabeth Watson > John Brisben and Mary Young > James Young Brisben and Juliet McClung, are my direct line.) There are also some good pointers for the HATCHER line here (hope it helps, Nel) I know the relationships of most of these people......so if you have any questions, I will try to answer them.. Barbara Lee has given me permission to transcribe and post these pages from the Brisben family bible, which she is in possession of, passed down from her mother Laura Lea Brisben daughter of Robert Cresswell Brisben and Jane Getty. I can not say that I have transcribed everything correctly, as some of it is hard to read.....but a good portion of this has already been proven by other documents. Pages in two columns and sometimes groups of people are listed together with a line separating them from other entries. Single entries have a line under them.
