Does your wife have any brothers who could possibly be interested in participating, or your son any paternal male cousins? The project webpage is at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~bricker/project_results.html Do a search on the page for "Jacob Christian Bricker". I have a chart showing descendants of Jacob Christian that I received from someone else, which indicates a tentative line of descent to Arthur L.

One of their descendants is a participant in the Bricker DNA Project, and so we know the DNA profile of this particular Bricker line. The Jacob Bricker born in 1759, however, seems to have been of an unrelated Bricker line, possibly the grandson of a Jacob Christian Bricker said to have arrived in Virginia around 1718 and whose son Christian reputedly settled in Westmoreland County, Pa around 1769. The Jacob born in 1759 would have been this Christian's son. Unfortunately, to date there is no participant from the Jacob Christian Bricker line in the DNA Project with which we could compare the DNA of the descendent of the Adam Bricker who settled in Clermont County, Ohio, so we cannot say yet whether these two lines were or were not related.

William Perry Brady, 1766-1843, was the son of John and Mary Quigley Brady, & grandson of Hugh and Hannah. Also brother to Samuel Brady. There is a sketch of his life in Stephenson vol. IV pp 74-75. In the Brady Annals there is mention of his extensive land purchases and his being a surveyor. The "Perry" was taken from William Perry, who raised him following his mother's death in 1783, and gave him training as a surveyor. Ruth

He was listed in East Mahoning in the 1900 census, 1880 census, 1870, and 1860. I thought I would have found a death record on him in Indiana County, or an obituary. I did find a newspaper article on his daughter Tillie: Obituary on December 27, 1905 in Indiana Progress: TILLIE PARSONS Miss Tillie Parsons, daughter of the late John Parsons, died at the home of John C. Work, in East Mahoning township, Tuesday night, of Typhoid pneumonia, aged about 15 years. -- Since it has "late John Parsons" and the date is 1905 but John was in the 1900 census, I would think I would find an obituary or death record in East Mahoning between those dates. Not yet. I looked at Marriages index file by Indiana County Historical Society, Pennsylvania FHL film 539076 item 3, Death Records Index File, 1800's by Indiana County Historical Society in PA, FHL film 539077 item 1, and Birth Records Index File 1800's by Indiana Co. Historical Society, PA FHL film 539076 item 2. There were no marriages for Smith or Parson listed in Indiana County Pennsylvania, No births for Parson either or deaths. I looked for name variations and couldn't find anything on THESE FHL microfilms listed above. I am now kind of confused since I thought John Parson's family lived in East Mahoning, Indiana County, Pennsylvania where would the births have taken place? I'm guessing his marriage could have been in Armstrong or Jefferson County? What about his wife Lucinda Smith Parson's death before 1895 when he remarries to Annie Corson (nee Anna Jane McCracken)? I'm trying to figure out what I do next. John Parson(s) and family lived in East Mahoning according to census records and newspaper articles. Why can't I find the birth and death records or marriage records for this family? Where do I go from here? Thanks for any help, Mindy.
