In 1820 census for Wardsboro, VT there are three Brimhall households. One is Ebenezer and wife Sarah and the other two are Gideon and Gideon, Jr. I suspect that Gideon Sr may be the head of the clan with sons Gideon and Ebenezer living nearby. There is a ROOTSWEB WorldConnect ref. to Ebenezer but it doesn't look reliable.Cannot find Gideon after 1840 but Ebenezer in census up to 1870. Possibly Gideon moved west.
