Ann Brinton, duaghter of William Brinton, who came from England and died in PA in 1719. She married John BENNET, and they had Olive Bennet who married William PYLE. The PYLEs are a very well documented line. >> Hi Thank you for the info ~ I am looking for a BRINTON who married a HUGHES possibly in Centre or Chester Co. The Brintons listed in the Centre Co. Newspapers were: 1833 ~ Marietta BRINTON married George HASTY (both of Spring Twp in Centre Co ~ this is where my ancestor, John Davis Hughs/Hughes b. 1824 lived.) 1840 is a listing on a Dr. John B. BRINTON of Chester Co who married Ellen M. IRVIN of Mifflin Co., Pa I have a BRINTON surname used as a middle name in my Hughes family from Bellefonte, Pa and was wondering what the BRINTON/HUGHS or HUGHES connection was. Thanks!
