LEANNE, thanks. WE will use them as sources and perhaps others that have researched in these counties can help with originals. It gives us sources which we need. DATES with Names helps, as I don't have all And several by these names. Looks like we/I need more HOLT info. Thank You, marie, iowa -----Original Message----- From: Leanne Dooley [mailto:ldooley@newwavecomm.net] Sent: Sunday, November 01, 2009 9:01 PM To: mari@netins.net Subject: Beresheba (Brinkley) Sellars Mari?, I have only abstractions from a Brinkley co-researcher regarding the Orange Co Court of Common Pleas & Quarter Sessions Records but do have several dates these came from. The depositions are of George Holt, Martin Loy (married Polly Sellars) and Crosley Brinkley (son of Beresheba Brinkley before she m. Thomas Sellars.We can't determine Crosley's father & assume she was an unwed mother in1775 (Maybe a soldier that didn't make it back from war????). The date on these are 18 Feb 1815. The there is also the division of land order carried out by George Holt, Wm Holt, Mason Tarply, John Boone, James Gant. This date is 15 Nov.1817. Evidently Bersheba got half the land. I used to have actual copies of the records but sent them to my cousin and they haven't been returned yet. The suit was listed as Thomas Sellars vs. Peter Brinkley Jr. The bible record with the marriage date of Thomas & Beresheba was given to me as a torn bit copied from an old Brinkley bible from someone who won't share much of the info in the bible with anyone, yet (he says). For some reason he liked me & helped me with our brick wall on Crosley Brinkley's parents. Martin Loy & Polly Sellars Loy went to Adair Co., KY along with my ancestor, Charles Brinkley (Crosley's eldest son). About 1822. Martin Loy stayed, Charles moved on to Lewis Co., MO, (1852) then on to Texas. Martin & Polly had about 8 kids (7 b. Orange Co NC last one b. KY). I believe and a Simeon Waggoner family from the same area in NC went along also. If you want to see the court abstracts, I can send them in another email...but he wasn't too good at abstracting. You'd get the jest of things anyway. There were several other dates of entry of material regarding the lawsuit, but it was mostly court business, not much genealogical info we didn't already have. If I can help in any other way, please let me know. If you have any info on my Brinkleys, or questions please yell at me. Cheers, Leanne
