Hello, I'm also researching the same area for my ancestor my gr gr gr grandfather Nicholas Briskey/Brisky and his wife Mark/Merck. In my researching I found that many of the families migrated together around 1830's. First many to GA around Troup and Harris Counties, may counties and states changed boarders during that time. And also, then onto Chambers County, AL or surrounding areas. I have a copy of the Heritage of Chambers County, AL book by Heritage Publishing Company. And in the index there is a Wilbanks listed on 264. Which is probably a decendent of your line. I have found many for others this way. Families maybe married into is Smedley or Smith. Allen D Smedley married Jetty Ozella Wilbanks. if you write seperately to me, I can give you more information.mention name and page no.

Sandel, Have you looked in the book "Abstracts of Old Ninety-Six and Abbeville District Wills and Bonds" by Pauline Young? There is an abstract of John Balthaser Mark on page 421 that mentions Nicholas Brisky and his wife Elizabeth. If you haven't seen this and would like for me to copy it for you, I will.
