Nora: I know the Brown family from Barnwell SC and Sylvania Screven County GA are related to the Brinson family who at one time lived in Waynesboro Burke County GA. Brumett Brinson is my great grandfather and I am desperately looking for info on him.

I am researching Brunsons from St. George Parish (Screven Co.) and would like to know if the spelling of the surname is the only difference. My line is John and Mary Brunson who came from SC to GA in the 1780s. They were land owners in St. George Parish which I believe is now part of Screven, Burke, Bulloch, and Effingham Co. Also, these Brunsons were linked to Washington Co. also. If anyone knows about these families and if they are or if they are not kin....please let me know. Thanks. Nora Searching for: PHELPS, WEST, CLARK, LEE (two lines), RICHARDSON, GRINER (GREINER), BRUNSON, MCLEOD, PALMER, HICKS, BROWN, CHAPPELL, SCOTT, ACTON, CROCKETT and more. All came >>
