It contains a lot of good data. I haven't posted it her before. I hope it helps someone with their research.

(I obtained this information from my cousin, Alliene Adams-Kruse of 1012 Holly Street, Perry, Oklahoma in August 1963, and in turn, she had obtained much of it from her older brother, Paul G. Adams. He had written it in Santa Clara, Cuba, Feb. 24 1960.clw)

“This brief history of my mother’s people (this is Paul talking) in America has been compiled from information that my mother related to me, and from records that were left in the family Bible as well as from members of the family who had preserved some of the family History.
I was told by my Mother that the name, Brengle, was a German (my Uncle Allan Frank Wilson says it is a Saxony name clw) name, and that a family bearing this name came to what is now the United States during early Colonial days and settled in the Colony of Maryland. She told me many times that the earliest record of her people in America was in the Colony of Maryland, and that the Brengle family of which she was a member migrated to what later became the State of Kentucky, before the Revolutionary War.
According to a book by Clarence W. Hall, in his “Samuel Logan Brengle – Portrait of a Prophet”, published in 1933 by the National Headquarters of the Salvation Army, Inc., New York, N.Y., the Brengles came to America in early Colonial days, and settled in Maryland. He writes, “Hewing out a soil, fought Indians with flintlock rifles, and were content with their lot. They were content, that is, until a party of rugged frontiersmen came to their clearing and told them thrilling tales of a land to the South and West, a land of beautiful hills and rich valleys, tall forests of timber land, plenteous game, ample plains, and roving buffalo herds, warm climate, and clear-running water alive with fish.
The Brengles accordingly donned their deerskin shirts and trousers, coonskin caps and moccasins, collected their tomahawks, hunting knives, powder horns, and bullet pouches, loaded their few belongings on horses, and set out for Kentucky, where extensive estates of black land, blue grass, and tall timber were to be had simply by occupying them. Trekking across the Alleganies and the Great Smokies, they moved with caution born of experience, as it was necessary to keep eyes open and long rifles ready for any movement of shrub or undergrowth: Indians were ever ready to dispute their passage from ambush and seal with red death the “rights” of the invaders.
Thus, pushing their way through wilderness broken only by winding Indian trails, the Maryland Brengles reached the wilds of Kentucky in 1763, thirteen years before the Declaration of Independence, and six years before Daniel Boone brought his family to Kentucky. Settling on eighteen hundred acres of choice land, they made their clearing, built their log cabins, filled their lungs with air that no white man had breathed before, and fell to the task of making the fertile soil provide them with a living. Between times, they fought Indians, wolves, bears, mosquitoes, and malaria. Among the pioneers of Kentucky, there grew up a saying – “The cowards never started, and the weak ones died on the way”. A boastful sort of saying. But the Brengles had arrived.
“George D. Brengle, son of the Kentucky-conquering contingent of 1763, and grandfather of Samuel Logan Brengle, lived in Fredericksburg, Kentucky, where he did well both as a blacksmith and as a progenator.”
“My mother (Paul still talking), Ida Luetta Brengle, was born near Fredericksburg, Kentucky, on March 7, 1868. Apparently, this George D. Brengle was her grandfather and the grandfather of Charles Marion Brengle, who in turn was the grandfather of Charles L. Wilson.”
My Uncle Allan Frank Wilson (Charles L. Wilson writing) says he has heard that the Brengles came from Saxony; one or more of them left the petty wars in which Saxony was frequently engaged, by hiding in a hay wagon and eventually migrating to Pennsylvania, from which one branch went to Illinois and the other went to Kentucky.
I shall designate George Brengle, the first one of which I have any record, as George1. Then in sequence to me will come Jacob2, Charles3, Ruth4, and myself (Charles5)

From this point, the information starts documenting our family information.
