Have you looked for any deeds for your Nicholas Briskey/Brishey? They are going to give you the best info on where they had their homestead. If you have looked for deeds for Nicholas and have not found anything then I would look for deeds for his neighbors. I noticed on the 1790 that the closest neighbors were Patrick Gibson, Robert Martin, Jesey Morris, and Wm M. Carter. Have you looked for deeds on these folks? It looks to me like they are living in the Abbeville area of OPD.

Elden, I'm trying to locate where my gr gr gr grandfather Nicholas Briskey/Brisky and his wife Elizabeth Mark/Merck had their homestead in the Old Pendleton District. they we're there around 1789. In the 1790 census it is mispelled as (BRISHEY) on the retype. Its right on the old microfilm. Being disabled I can't afford to hire anyone so any help appreciated. I'm also trying to find out where they we're burried they we're baptist. Thank you.
