    1. [GA-Roots] Brown/Brinson/Langley/Brummette
    2. Hi: I am very new to rootsweb, and new to computer genealogy. I have the following family questions: My great grandmother, Eolah Brown Langley ( 3-5-1849 - 11-26-1918) married Brumett Brinson on 12-17-1884 in Waynesboro Burke County Georgia. I have traced Eolah Brown Langley's family but cannot find anything on Brumett except in the 1880 Burke County census and I quote: The 1880 Census of Burke County Georgia, Dwelling #697 and Family #698. The head of household is Elizabeth Brinson, age 48 and a widow and farmer. Living with her is her family as follows: Thomas age 22, Jennie age 20, BRUMETT age 18, William age 14, Lizzie age 12, Fannie age 10, Sarah age 9, Adam grandson age 6. I believe the Elizabeth Brinson (3-3-1829 - 4-4-1901) mentioned above, the mother of Brumett, was Elizabeth Ann Brummette prior to her marriage to Stephen B. Brinson (3-9-1828 - 11-18-1877). Her age could very well be incorrect in the census. In the 1 April 2000 vol 3, issue 5, of the St George's Gazette (The Official Newsletter of the Burke County Genealogical Society) on page 2, under Cemetery Restoration Project Underway one of the family names mentioned is BRUMMETTE. also in the story below the cemetery article is The Herals and Expositor, Waynesboro, Georgia, reporting on two marriages one of which was Wednesday Apria 19, 1882 of R. J. Boyd of Louisville, GA, to Miss Nora Hough of Waynesboro. One of the attendants of this wedding was Eben B. Brinson (probably Ebenezer Brinson). For the above reasons I believe the answer to my finding my great grandfather Brumett Brinson is in either Waynesboro Burke County or Sylvania Screven County Georgia. Is there anyone out there who can help me find Brumett Brinson??? If you have any information on this family please contact me. Thank you so very much, Jeanne jmbarker29@aol.com
