My gr-grandmother, Mary Agnes BRINKLEY, was born 1874 in Clarion, Clarion Co, PA, to James Augustine and Margaret Jane HARRIGER Brinkley. James was born 1844 in Westmoreland Co, to James Augustine and Elizabeth AARON Brinkley. 1810 Westmoreland Co - Mt. Pleasant census has a William Brinkley, 26-45, with 3 males under 10 and 1 female under 10, 1 16-26 and 1 45+. Pages from a bible that we believe belonged to William Brinkley list children David born 1803, John 1805, James 1807 and Jane 1809. Also listed are Sarah 1811, William 1812, Perry 1814, Thomas 1816 and Mary 1820. William was not found in another census until 1840 in Derry Twp with 1 male 15-20 and 1 male 50-60 and 2 females 20-30. William was not found in the 1850 census even though we believe he died in 1851. Perry Brinkley, 35, and family were in Derry Twp at that time. Is anyone else researching this family? I'm looking for a will for William who died in 1851 and deeds that would show him buying land and the disposition of his estate. My grandfather told me that a baby in his mother's Brinkley family had been the lone survivor of an Indian raid. Since William was having children by 1803, he could have been born around the 1780s, about the same time that Hannastown was destroyed by an Indian attack. I'm trying to learn if William might have been that lone survivor. Bea __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
