BRITTON/BRITTAIN: Am researching the following family that--according to military, census, probate & deed records--long lived in the New Brunswick area of Middlesex Co. NJ. My g-g-grandfather William B. BRITTON below moved to Wisconsin after his marriage in 1851: (1) Nicholas BRITTON (d 1828) m. Mary _____? (d aft 1844) (2) Nathaniel BRITTON (d bef 1844) (2) Nicholas BRITTON (1791 - aft 1850) m. Gertrude? _____? (3) Nicholas BRITTON (3) William B. BRITTON (1829/30 - 1910) m. Elizabeth COMBES (1829 - 1912) (4) Irene Elizabeth BRITTON (1853 - 1925) (3) Edwards BRITTON (d aft 1910) (2) Elisabeth BRITTON (2) Mary BRITTON (2) Catherine BRITTON I'd like to find other descendants of this family, learn maiden names of wives, & carry the family further back. I have undocumented information showing Nicholas (1) to be a son of Dan'l BRITTAIN (1655-1733). Several books have been written on the BRITTON/BRITTAIN family - - anyone know which may be most reliable, & most likely to focus on the northeast? COMBES/COOMBS: Elizabeth COMBES appeared in 1850 New Brunswick Census, age 20, living in a rooming house - - no mention of parents. Her death certificate provided: birthplace: England parents: Stephen & Mary COMBES emigration to America: about age 12 My grandfather was given the middle name of COOMBS. I've not yet found any other records for this family. Any information on above families would be greatly appreciated !
