Hi Elizabeth, No, I haven't confirmed the parents of Celia BRINEGAR. (I haven't spent a whole lot of time on her.) Judging from her US Census returns, she was probably born in Virginia and came to NC at a very early age. She was born February, 1819. However, I don't find any BRINEGAR's in western VA at that time. I do know that there were two BRINEGAR males in Ashe County between 1810 to 1815, namely Jacob BRINEGAR and Adam BRINEGAR. I don't know if these two BRINEGAR's relate to the Jacob & Adam BRINEGAR's of Clark and Fleming Counties, KY. Kinda look similar, tho. - Dave On 18-Oct-98, Elizabeth Harris wrote: >Dave Hamm wrote, >>Looking for more information regarding the descendants of Enoch HAM. >>Enoch the son of Eli HAM and Celia BRINEGAR.
