I am looking for any information about my GG Grandfather, Jacob Brazier PLAIN (or his ancestors) who married Mary Ann DOYLE. I have seen him referred to as "Jacob", "Jacob B.", "Brazier" and "Branch". I know that he was born in Poughkeepsie in 1828, and was living in Esopus in the 1850 census (listed as Urury in the index, but it is Brazier) with his wife Mary, daughter Elizabeth, and son Andrew. I believe that he may have been the son of Jacob PLAIN & Cynthia RELYEA. In that 1850 Census, the next family listed was that of Charles RELYEA...there was also a Henry Plain listed three families before Brazier, on the previous page. By 1853, he is living in Jersey City, NJ. Here is what I have for Brazier's family: Jacob Brazier PLAIN, b. June 1828 in Poughkeepsie, NY; d. Aft. 1900. He m. Mary Ann DOYLE, b. Abt. 1826 in Ireland; d. December 16, 1898 in New York, NY. She was the daughter of Thomas DOYLE. Children of Jacob PLAIN and Mary DOYLE are: i. Elizabeth PLAIN, b. Abt. 1846 in NY. ii. Andrew J. PLAIN, b. Abt. 1848 in Jersey City, NJ; d. May 27, 1897 in New York, NY. iii. Emily PLAIN, b. March 1852 in NJ; m. William KNORR; b. 1852 in PA. iv. George PLAIN, b. Abt. 1854; d. June 09, 1894 in New York, NY; m. Kate BROWN. v. Henrietta PLAIN, b. September 1859 in NJ; m. _____ TORBIT. vi. Fredrick B. PLAIN, b. September 15, 1860 in Jersey City, NJ; d. October 08, 1933 in East Orange, NJ; m. Mary Agnes HERZOG January 01, 1883 in Jersey City, NJ. vii. E. Victoria PLAIN, b. Abt. 1863 in Jersey City, NJ; d. August 30, 1878 in Jersey City, NJ. Any help would be appreciated. I have run into a brick wall with Brazier, and am trying to confirm whether he is the son of Jacob PLAIN & Cynthia RELYEA. Thanks, Tom Smith
