Hi Kevin, According to my records, my Brainerd ancestors arrived in Genesee Co., MI around October of 1832. They were from Monroe Co., NY. Suzy
Suzy, I am also related to the Brainerds. My grt. grandma was Caroline Brainerd her grandfather Alfred was said to have been 1st settler in Genesee Co- probably Grand Blanc. I have lots of information on this family. Will have to check where I received the information of Alfred being the 1st settler, haven't been doing much genealogy lately. Eileen Brown Fenton, Michigan
