Reba, My Isabel E. Brinton was born July 15 1793 in Casey co.KY. She married George K. Minor in 1816 in Mercer. Most of my ancestors came from the Casey/Mercer county area, and a great many of them packed up and went to first Howard county, then onto Boone. I don't have Isabel's family. After George's death, she married James Phillips, the Phillips family also being from Casey Ky. James was first married to George Minor's sister, Mary. Gets kind of turend around quite a bit, it can make you dizzy. Almost certainly, we share the Brinton line, although at this point, I don't know how. Hoping to hear from you, maybe we can compare data?
