My Mt Pleasant_Fayette Brinker connections are a tad earlier than the emails prior; but I am sure related as to at least one Brinker line discussed&..for as mentioned there are several Brinker lines thru this area. My Welshons line <Elizabeth Welshons> m. Jacob Brinker in 22 May 1828. Elizabeth is sister to my gr3 grdfather John Welshons. See below for a skelton tree and notes on Brinker gravesites. I hope this may help, and if my lines relates to a Welshons, Gilmore, Brinker, Trough or Rumbaugh of yours, I would be happy to share notes. Todd &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&.
