My husband's great-grandparents were Edward and Mary Brass of Norwegian descent. They lived at Quoyloo, Sandwick--close to Scapa Flow. They had 4 sons (infant son that died, Paul, Wallace, and Edward). and 3 daughters (Jean, Isabelle and Mary). William married Anna Sutherland from Glasgow. Had a farm in Oakmont, PA. They had 5 daughters and one son. Edward at the age of 16 escorted William's wife to the States. Married Bess Milligan and lived in the north side of Pittsburgh. David joined the Hudson Bay Furriers and died of typhoid fever in British Colombia. Jean (Spence) had several sons. One son, John, came to Pittsburgh and died of T.B. Isabelle married a cousin named Scarth. 2 sons, George and Robert. George was a professor of botany in Montreal. Robert lived in Kirkwall. Mary remained single and cared for her parents until their death. This is all of the information that we have--with no dates except for tombstones which we will have to locate the pictures we have.
