ONE BRANCH OF THE BROWNSON 0 BRONSON AND BRUNSON FAMILY
Compiled by Dr o EoRo Brownson
Richard and John Brownson were a t Hartford at an early perios of the
settlemento From them most if not all of the Brownsons 0 Bronsons or Brunsons
have descended o Ancient Woodbury by Co t hen 0 Vol o 2)
The John Bronson branch of this family has been well written up in
Bronson Bros o Hi story of Waterbury and the same data repeated in Anderson 8 s
History of Waterbury 0 but only small segments of the Ri chard Brownson line
have been publ i shed o
To keep the two branches separate 0 I have designated the descendants
of John Bronson as A and those of Richar d Browns on as Bo Also I have not
given the elder Richard Brownson a number 0 as our knowledge of him is very
incomplete o But the WBronson Lineagew by Mrs o Si bley bas quite a complete
resume of the ori gin of the name and some hi stor y of the family in Englando
Of the elder Richard Brownson we know l i ttle o He is supposed to
have been an old man in Hartford a t the time of its settlemento He evidently
came to America with his two sons 0 John Bronson and Richard Brownson and a
daughter Mary Brunson 0 settling first at Cambridge 0 Mass o between 1630 and
16350 All were 0 of course 0 born in England o We do not know the dates of
birtb 9 but Richard Brownson Jr o died i n Farmington 0 Conn o i n 1687 0 where he
and John Bronson had settled about 164-0o
Richard Brownson °s first wife was Abi gail Wibourne 0 or 9 as sometimes
Wyborno She came from the County of Kent 0 England 0 and Richard came
from the County of Essex o These counties were separated by the Tba.mes River
and both were to t he east of Londono It i s said that Richard Brownson Sro
and his family lived at Braintree 0 Essex v England and were members of Reva
Hooker 0 s church at Chelmsford 0 England befor e he was "Silenced"o
writte~ 0
Abigail Wibourne Brownson was a sister of Margaret Pantry 0 wife of
William Pantry of Cambridge v as i s shown in her will v in which she deeds
certain items to WAbigail and John Brownson 0 °My si ster 0 s children° ~
(See New England Families 0 Vol o III 0 P o 1538)0
Abigai l joined the Farming ton Church (Congregati onal) July 19 v 1653
and Richard April 2 11 16540

NEW HAMPSHIRE
by Marguerite Willette Brown
The sailing ship Elizabeth
departed London on the
17th day of April, 1635.
. On board were many of
England's disaffected,
leaving family ties and the
circumstances of their lives
for a fresh start in the new
land of America. John
Brown was one of these
disaffected.
�Unlike many souls who
pledged themselves to
servitude for the sponsorship of their ocean
passage, John Brown was
not without financial
means. Forty-six years of
age at his emigration from
London, he had accumulated a moderate
savings - enough, he
anticipated, to catapult
him in the New Land to the
respected status of landowner.
With John Brown
aboard the Elizabeth were
two teenaged acquaintances
15-year-old
James Walker, his baking
assistant, and Walker's
17- year- old sister Sarah,
the future Mrs. John
Brown and matriarch of
the Brown family in
America. Today that line
includes more than 2,100
persons in Ne'v Hampshire, Vermont, Montreal
and Illinois bearing the
Brown name.
In this genealogy
Marguerite Willette Brown
has drawn from hundreds
of sources across the
country to string together
the thread of some 350
years of family history.
Word-of-mouth tales of
ancestors have in many
instances been verified in
town histories or public
records, and literally
hundreds
of
Brown
progeny have been contacted in the preparation of
this authoritative anthology of the ten
generations of a great
American family.

"ROOTS" has swept the country, and while Alex Haley was doing
research on his black ancestors, my wife, Marguerite Willette Brown, had completed and put into publication a book on my Brown ancesters in October,
1976. It is a beautifully bound book in rich brown with gilt lettering and is called
"Genealogy of John Brown of Hampton, New Hampshire." The reason for the
title was to segregate John Brown from the Browns who pioneered to Salisbury
and Watertown, Massachusetts from England and Ireland.
From word-of-mouth and records, my wife has included details and
engrossing stories which were related by members of the Brown family from
every state of the Union. Stories of an adventurous and hard-working family
have been passed down from one generation to another, many of them are
amusing and some of them sad.
The pioneer, John Brown, who came to this country in 1635, only fifteen
years after the famed "Mayflower," was the patriarch of all the Browns (over
two thousand and more) named in the book and, his progeny have ventured to
all parts of the United States and Canada in the 340 years since his arrival.
Such accounts make the book more than a genealogy. It is a history,
brought to the reader via a frame of personal interest, and as such reflects the
social and economic aspect of earlier times more effectively than a bare textbook could convey.

Stamford Genealogical Society

Stamford, Conn. 06904
Dear Sirs, - I received your letter and, rather your card telling about the
activities of your genealogical society and was much interested in ito
I have been writing a column in the !EBA.NON NEWS, laba.non, Pa. on genealogy
for the last five (plus) years, 284 weeks to be ex.act. I know because I have
numbered every column which has been published. I a.m sending along a sheet
of instructions and information which you may want to put on your bulletin board
for your members information. I will also send along a few duplicate coluinns
I have which you may keep. These a.re of colunms which were published some time
ago.
There are several things here which I have on hand which I would like to
contribute to your genealogical library. They are as follows:
1. Brossman Pioneers In America, by Schuyler C~ Brossman
2. Felty Family (of Bethel Twp, . L3banon, Dauphin, I.a.nca.ster and Berks Co.Pa.)
(The township was first in Lancaster , than Dauphin and Berks 1 finally
in Lebanon and Berks Counties, where it is today, pa.rt in each County)
-;3;
This Felty Family record was compiled by Ed. Berge, Philadelphia, Pa.
3. A list of veterans of all wars buried in Bethel and Tulpehocken Townships,
Berks County, Pennsylvania, compiled ft-om many sources by Schuyler Cl .
Brossman.
4. The Dieffenbach Organ Builders by Victor C~ Dieffenbach, written ca. 1959
published by his son Ray J . Dieffenbach, 218 North Maple st.,
Elizabethtown, Pa. 17022. published 1967.
The above mentioned items should be considered as gifts from the writers
themselves, even though I am sending them. They were given to me for the
purpose of distributing them to libraries where researchers may find them.
Are you willing to send me a copy of your quarterly bulletin. I would like
to see what it is like?
s?1r ce.~
Schuyler c. Brossman, Box 43
Rehrersburg, Pa. 19550
Will also send along a copy of our little booklet entitled, 0 50th Anniversary,
1918-1968, Celebration and Parade - KEYSTONE FIRE COMPANY, RE.HRERSBURG, PA. Saturday, June 8, 1968" This will give a history of the local fire company and
may be of some use to anyone studying .Volunteer Fire Conipa.nies.

** * ************~************************
Note - It appears that the m&rriage of Susanna Brossman and Daniel Klopp ( see
page 3) is in error. lhile a Susanna Bro ssman and Dewiel Klopp di d marry , it
appears t o be in the next generatio n. The marriage of Daniel Klopp and ~usanna
Brossman t ook place Jul 20 , 1817 by which t i rr1e Susanna would have been 45 yr s .
old , consi der ing her birt hdat e of 22 Jun 1772, and quite unlikely t hat they
wou).d have raised 11 children a t tha t age . A new entry discovered in the pastor
ial· records of the Rev . J . W. Boos , Berks County Hist . Soc . r ecord CR- 8399 , of
a Susanna Brossman and J ohannes Kessler on 9 Sep 1794. when Susanna would have
been 22 years old , is more logical. Additi onal research must be undertaken to
prove this beyond a doubt , but it is a new lead to follow .
In the same records a Catharine Broszman i s listed as having married
Balthaser WittJner on Oct 22 , 1793 . Thi s may be the sister of Susanna mentioned
above . Again, additional r esearch must be undert&.ken to certify this .
Regarding the Maria Appolina. Brossman , born ca . 1732 who was onfirmed
at the a ge of 16 in Christ Church of Stouchsburg on 9 Sep 17 i+8 . I t
that she became the wife of Bal thaser Unbenha.gen (Umbenhauer ) as the r ecords
of the Rev. John Casper Stover show the children of Balthaser Unbenhagen and
wife Maria Appolina had a s a.s sponsors Frantz Pr ossman (Br ossman) ar d also
Justina Cath rina Pressman
rosst!lan) . 'I'wo children of Ba.l thaser Unbenhagen
and Appolina were named Frantz and the other Ju s tina Catharina . Ther e were
several other children listed with di ferent sponsors . Ti.Tfle a.nd effort may
answer these questiops and problems .

�THE BRINTON FAMILY
OF BRINTON HILL
Salisbury, Connecticut
J. brief hist.or)" based on the recollections
of George P. Coopernail, K.D.,
F.A.c.s.
�The Brintai Family of Salisbury, Connecticut
Among the most interesting f anily histories in
New ~land is that of Joseph Brinton, an 18th cen 1l.uy settler
who lived on Brinton Hill in the Lime Rock district of
Salisbury, Connecti.c ut. Joseph was barn in 1767 at Mansfield,
Massachusetts, where his ancestors were &IIDng the earliest
European inhabitants. After maving to western Conrecticut as
a young man, Joseph acquired densely wooded land on a mountain
north of Lime Rock and west of Falls Village. Assisted by his
wife Naomi and t reir yo~ son, Joseph Osman, he cl eared two
acres of i:asture and establismd a farm ttat soon became a
local landmark.
Todq the hilltop retreat of the Joseph Brintons is
little changed from the wq it looked a hundred years ago.
The main house, the barn, and a snail dwelling across the road
stand on their original fourrlat icns, enclosed by woods am
neatly restored by the cur.rent occui:ants. Behind the ltli te
frame house ~ pine tl'Bt great•grandsons of Joa eph Osman planted
wtim they were boys now rises rore than sixty feet. Where the
pasture ends a trail leads almost a mile through the forest to
cliffs overlooking a broad expanse of the Housatonic River
valley. Directly below is the Lime Rock church where many
Brintons are buried.
Although the rustic setting of the Jos~h Brinton hone
suggests that he was a farmer seeki~ new land, th is was not
the case. Between the American Revolution and the Civil War
outsiders moved to Salisb.iry and adjacent tams because the
area was one of the wcrld' s lead:lng produ: .rs of high-grade
iron. Far more tha11 a century forests arounl Brinton Hill were
cut bare for charcoal, black smoke tilled the valleys, am
forges fiared thrcugh tm ni. ght. This important, era in
American history ended mn modern steel mil.le were built
farther west. By 1890 the clos:ing or mines at Salisbury had
clouded the future ot its residents, and it is correct to sq
that the fortunes of the Bri.ntons rose ani fell with those of
the iron industry.
Another unusual element in the Brinton f anily history
is that the male line or Brintons can be traced to a very early
period. The true ancestral . home of the Joseph Brinto ns is not
in Salisbury but rather at Foxborough, Massachusetts, where an
Englisbnan naned Thomas Brentnall settled in 1664. Thomas am
his wif' e Esther cleared land
Wading River, twenty miles
south of Boston, and raised a family there. In 1685 they moved
near
�page 2
a short distance to a new farm on too outsldrts of present-day
Mansfield. The six boys born to this couple are forebears of
a New England family that usually spells its name Brintnall.
It was Nathaniel Brintnall of" Mansfield whose son Joseph moved
to Salist:ury, accornµmied by a brother or cousin named Ebenezer.
Apparently Jes eph was the first to alter spelling of the family
name to Brinton. Records mdicate that Ebenezer made the same
change in 1812.
Because of this modification of nane, descendants of the
Salisbury Brintons can be sure that they are ·not related to any
other Brintm families. In ~land the mme Brentnall is finnly
established, and it is always spelled the same wq. At least
fifty Brentnall families are currently living· in London and the
surrourrling counties, a region that is also the home of many
Brintons • . Sirx:e the two families have similar names, the
origin of other Brintons in America is worth noti~.
In most cases Americans named Brintcn are descendants of
Wi1liam Brinton, a Quaker who settled near Vlest Chester,
Pennsylvania, in 1684. The well-known 1704 House, a farm near
Brandywine battlefield, was built by his son. A fatr Aioorican
Brintons are related to Willian Brenton, who arrived at Boston
in 1634 and 1 ater became too fir st Governor of Rhode Island.
His descendants were Tory sympathizers, and many BrentCl'ls left
America during tre Revolutionary period. Certain Brintons in
Kentucky• Indiana, and far west.em states are descended from
Robert Brinton, an early settler of Virginia. Although several
other Brintons may have come to America in colonial days, none
has been identified as founder of a family.
When Thanas Brentnall arrived at Wading River• the Boston
Colony had been settled for thirty-four years, rut it was little
more than an outpost in a wilderness controlled by Irrlian tribes.
The .fourrlers of Boston were Puritais seeking freedom to Jr actice
the1r religion, and many early inhabitants were refugees of too
English civil war that lasted from 1642 until 1660. While
religious faith played an important role in developnent of the
colony, it is probable that the majority of immigrants came
to America mainly to imp-ove their eoonomic or social status.
With very few exceptiais, they were yoernen, manb ers of the
English middle class who were denied advarcemnt in a mtion
governed by aristocrats and weal thy laniowners. In Anerica
these inmligrants found work worthy of their talents. They
pros~red as merchants and farners, and they created a very
democratic type of society. However, the mw society was very
small by rodern standards. In 1664 there were only three or
four tmusand fanilies livi ng in Boston Colony.
Becau; e he came to America ootween 1620 and l.672, Thomas
Brentnall is considered by genealogists tD be a first settler of
New ~land. His birthplace :ill ~land is not -lmam, but the
�page 3
birth of his children is recorded in the archives of Boston
along with many other facts relating to their lives.* · For
exanple, Thomas Brintnall, the second son, was a Captain in
the militia and became a lEBding citizen of Sudrury,
Massachusetts. He JIB rrie d Hannah Willard, an heiress whose
father probably came from the ·Engli Si county of Katt. John
Brintnall, fourth son of the immigrant Thomas, was a farmer
and surveyor woo leased land at RtDl'llley Marsh in Cl'Brle s Town.
An inventory of his household made in 1702 reads: 11 2 heads,
1 negro man, houses upland and mack> 100 acars, one pair of
oxen, S cows, 6 horses and mairs, 40 sheep, 2 swin"•
One way to visualize hqwr too early Brintnalls lived is
to vis it Sudhlry1 ltlere tte ruins of tm colaiial settlement
lie almost untoucmd. Even more can be learned at Mansfield,
where the Brentnall children ~ere raised. Although colonial
Mansfield has been replaced by a factory town, the spot where
Thomas Brentnall built his farm in 1664 is well known to
descendants who live in the area. Albert H. Brintnall of
Mansfield can guide visitors to the site am point out tm
graves of many ancestors of the Salisbtry Brinton family.
The follanng is a complete list of the children of
Thomas and Esther Brentnall:
Samue11 1665
Thomas, 1669 (died
Nathaniel, 1Q71
1733)
John, 1673
Joseph, 1674
Caleb, 1679
Penelope, 1681
Mary, 1683
Mehitable, 1685
To ascertain which of too s:>ns was the ancestor of
Joseph Brinton of Salisbury 110uld require extensive research,
but this is not an important fact. In Volume 2 of nAmerican
Ancestry" a Brinton descendant records that tm father of
Joseph was Nathaniel Brintnall of Mansfield and that the
father of Nathaniel was named Samuel. Sanuel Brintnall was a
a grandson of one of the boys listed above, and a report
compiled . by the Media Research Bureau indicates that the name.
of Samuel 's father was Thona s.
Although Thoms and Esther Brentnall were probably far
from bei~ weal tey, their descen:iants prospered in America and
rapidly :Ux:reased in number. When Nathaniel Brintrall arxl other
*
Thomas Brentnall died in 1692 and 11as born about l.635. The
English parishes did not keep birth records prior to 1558.

members of the fifth generation reached manhood, the colonies
declared war on King George III, and during the years· of the
Revolution at least thirty-si.X Brintnalls served with too anny.
Most of them were Minute Men, meni:>ers of the militia enlisted
for a few months at a time. Four of these Brintnalls lived in
Mansfield, and Nathaniel is listed as private in his first
enlistment and sergeant during a second tour. It appears that
he was promoted to Captain in later life. Captain was the
highest rank achieved by Brentnall descendants during the
Revolution.
In view of the large part that ancestors of Joseph
Brinton played in the early history of New England, the relative
scarcity of Brintnall or related Brinton families today is
difficult to explain. Particularly surprising is the complete
disappearance of Brintons from Salisbury township, for family
records indicate that thirty to forty Brinton relatives were
living in the Housatonic Valley a century ago. In some respects
their way of life must have seemed idyllic, even though Salisbury
was not the scenic wonder then that it is considered to be today.
Ebenezer Brinton ( 1769-1835) lived on the main street
in Lime Rock, a bustling village that is now only a hamlet. He
had so many children and grandchildren that it is almost
impossible to account for all of them. Among those who died
at Lime Rock are: Ebenezer 2d (1792-1875), Parker B. (1796-1822),
and Harlow ( 1805-1860). Two or three children moved far away
from Salisbury, notably Preston Harrison, who went to New Orleans
about 1850, then settled in Belize, British Honduras. A
grandchild (or great-grandchild) who must have been wel.1-lmown at
Brinton Hill was N. Harry Brinton (1845-1894), husband of Harriet
Barker Brinton (1846-1896). A Henry Brinton photograph, otherwise
unidentified, remains in the family today. Another Brinton of
undetennined parentage was Warren ( 182.5-1895), who died in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin. His son, Warren D., lived in Chicago.
Joseph Brinton (1767-1811) and his wife Naomi King Brinton
(1776-1853) lived on Brinton Hill, and unlike the other Brintons
they are buried at the Salisbury Town Hall. They produced at
least three sons. Samu.el Brinton (1811-1882) moved 1x> Canaan
Center, where he served as Postmaster and Commissioner of
Highways. Elmcre and Ormel Brinton belonged w this Canaan
branch of the family. Nathaniel Brinton (1810-1872) founded a
family in Falls Village, which is located only a mile from
Brinton Hill on the Canaan si de of the Housatonic.
A partial genealogy of this family is as follows:
·Nathaniel married Margaret Hoskins in 18.36, son,Dwight, born
1848. Dwight married Mary Lloyd in 1873, sons were IJ.oyd D.,
�page 5
born in 1881, and H. Roscoe, born in 1887. Former married
Ada Cosgrove in 1904; latter married Julia Stevens in 191.L..
It is likely that ~11e one or two Brinton families now living
in Falls Village are descendants of Nathaniel.
Joseph Osman Brinton (1801-1888) inherited the Brinton
homestead and lived there with his mother, Naomi, and his wife,
Caroline Baily (1798-1898). He was a metal worker, a skilled
craftsman, but his only son, Joseph (1836-1907), found no
employment in the iron indust~ and became a music dealer in
Falls Village. After the death of Naomi, Caroline became a
dominant figure on Brinton Hill, for she lived to be 100, and
she is still remembered in the 1970's as ttGrandma Brinton".
The J. o. -Brintons .were married on April 10, 1828, and they had
two other children. Sarah Adeline died as an infant in 1832.
Caroline (1832-1887) 4id not marry.
Joseph Brinton lived on Brinton Hill with his mother.
In 1863 he married Charlotte Elizabeth Hawthorne (1844-1915).
She was the youngest child of Thomas Hawthorne (18ll-1881), an
iITUnigrant who was born in Birmingham, England, and died in
Elgin, Illinois. Her mother, Elizabeth Jones, was born in Wales,
and Mrs. Hawthorne may be the only recent Brinton ancestor who
was not of purely English origin. Charlotte's children were:
Joseph Porter (1864-1951); Charles Edward (1865-1953); Arthur
Edson (1868-1939); Clarence Hawthorne (1870-1947); Grace Peet
(1872-1952); Nellie Louise (1875-1939).
When Joseph Brinton died, nothing was left of the iron
industry except slag heaps covered with weeds and empty mine
shafts like the one that can still be seen at the base of the
Brinton Hill mountain. Instead of becoming a second Springfield
or Bridgeport, the Housatonic Valley was a graveyard of
abandoned factories. Express trains still ran from Falls Village
to New York, but they no longer carried men like Theodore
Roosevelt and Andrew Carnegie. Salisbury was becoming a strictly
rural community, and in 1911 the children of Joseph Brinton sold
the farm on Brinton Hill. During the next two decades the
homestead deteriorated rapidly as it pissed from one local family
to another, but in the 1930s Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Howell,
residents of Ardsley, N.Y., and New York City, purchased Brinton
Hill with the intention of restoring the house and using it as
a summer home. Al though Mr. Howell died before this work was
completed, his wife continued to rebuild the farm and to add
modern interiors to the house and the barn. Today Brinton Hill
!arm is a beautifully maintained residence, and Mrs. Howell, now
Mrs. Allen L. Owens, welcomes visits by any descendant of the
Brinton family.
�page 6
Although Joseph Brinton fathered four children, his
brothers and sisters produ:ed few offspring. Charles married
Leota B. Erwin. Their daughter, Leota Brwin ( 1919) is a nurse
living at Newtown, Connec.t icut. Clarence married Eva Josephine
Crane, and their children were Philip Hawthorne ( 1899-1904) and
Clarence Crane (1898-1968) 1 professor at Harvard University.
Nellie Louise married Dr. George P. Coopernail, Bedford Village,
N. Y. They were the parents of Charlotte Louise (1904)(Mrs.
s. A. Beckwith), Litchfield,' Cormecticut; George Brinton (1905-1920);
and William Fulton (19QCJ-1909). The children· of the Beckwith
family are: Ann Beckwith Blake, Elizabeth Beckwith Parsons, and
George Beck.with.
Joseph Porter Brinton, merchant and cabl.netmaker, married
Susan Maria Hulbert (1864-1934), whose family was already well
known in Great Barrington and Salisbury at t~ time of the
Revolutiai. Their children are: Malcolm Hulbert (1889), dentist,
Cheshire, Cormecticut;. Edward Rupert (1893), contractor, engineer,
St. Petersbtrg, Florida; Charlotte Hawthorne (1899)(Mrs. Reginald
Guile), nurse, Mt. Kisco, N.Y.; Joseph Porter Brinton Jr. (1902),
industrialist, Greenwich, Co:r:mecticut, arxi Delray Beach, Florida.
Sons of Malcolm and his wife, Arma Harrison Lay, are:
Malcolm Hulbert Jr. ( 1929) and Ro be rt Harrison ( 1938) • Both sons
are mrried and have fanilies. Daughter of Edward and his second
wife, Margaret Elouise Still, is Barbara Ann (1929), who lives in
St. Petersburg, Florida. Married to Robert Louis Van Voorhis, s~
has a daughter, Mary Margaret, a son, Edward Brinton, arxi aie
grandchild. Charlotte Guile has two daughters, Glcr ia Elizabeth
(1922) and Gwendolyn Hulbert (1924). Both are married and have
families. Joseph P. Brinwn · Jr. is the fatmr of Joseph Porter
Brintai Jd ( 1925), Greemrich, Cormectic ut ~
The best known descerxiant of the Thomas Brentnall family
is Professor Crane Brinton. In his lifetime, he was a housemaster
and teacher of history at Harvard University, a U.S. Government
official and CCl'lSul tant J and author of a dozen books that are
still used in college courses. Joseph Porter Brinton Jr. is
well known in the chemical industry and several other fields. He
has been Treasurer, Gram Central Art Gallery, Director, Greemrich
Hospital, Director, Putnam Trust Can?UlY, President, Greemr.ich
Country Clli>, Director World SE11icrs Golf Asaociation.
Through Susan Maria Hulbert, the Brintais are closely
related to the fanily of Charles Reed Bishop (1822-1915), who
left Glens Falls, N. Y., as a youth and became a fanous bus imss
leader in Hawaii. Susan Hulbert• s aunt was the
of
Bishop• s first cousin, and two of the coq>le' s children played
important roles in ti. developnent of the islands. The widow ot
of these children, "Aunt Annie" Faxon Bisoop, was still living
n•
one
�page

when Joseph Porter Brinton Jr. visited Hawaii in the 1950• s.
Charles R. Bishop and his wife, Bernice Pauahi Bishop ( 18311884), a native Hawaiian princess, had no children, so the
royal lands, amounting to roughly nine percent of the lam
area of Hawai. i, are now admini.st er Ed by the Bishop Trust in
Honolulu.
In appearance the male descendants of Joseph Brinton
tend to be six feet tall, fair of complexion, and distirx:tly
Anglo-Saxe n in looks. A f fJI'( . individuals in the family are
dark. Brintons are generally conservative, individualistic,
and strong-willed. Many of them have an old-fashioned New
England outlook. As in Brinton Hill d~, most Brintons
place a premium on hard work and like to spend their spare
hours hunting, fishing, or partic:ipating in other outdoor
activities.

The relationship of the Brinton and Brintnall fanilies
is recorded in the erx:yclopedia, American Areestry, and in the
Cope genealogy of t lE Pennsylvania Brinton family.
A comprehensive list of Brintnall ancestors appears in
Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors of the Revolutionary War.
Thomas Brentnall' s fanily is described in Boston Cit,' Documents
