Romona is north out of Spencer, on White River, of course.

Re: Brenton, William, sons Adam & Robert Samuel

nrscott30 — 2012-09-24 00:45:03Z

Mundy's Station later became Romona, which is located in the Northeastern section of Washington Township, in which is located the county seat, Spencer. "Where the county seat was to be located was for some time in doubt.... Mundy's Station was...a rival. Brintonsville was laid off by Adam Brinton, an eccentric old bachelor, at what is now called Mundy's Station. It would have been a formidable rival for the county seat but for an attempt of Mr. Brinton to make a speculation out of his lots....he employed a venerable preacher to act as 'puffer' and run up the price of the lots; but the people getting wind of this...refused to invest...." (p. 663-4) "in the year 1819, the first tax was levied.... In this year, John Dunn's ferry was taxed $5, and that of Adam Brinton $8." (p. 695) OWEN COUNTY, INDIANA, 1884, Charles Blanshard, editor. First Edition, Second Printing 1997. If you want something more exact, I think you would have results by contacting the Owen County Public Library in Spencer, Indiana. They have a very useful and helpful genealogy section.

This is really cold. It is related to an article that I wrote from notes from a lot of researchers of Owen Co. IN history/genealogy. Right now I don't know where to look for the article. But I will see if I can find it. I'll post a note on Owen Co. IN rootsweb list. Perhaps whoever donated this information will catch up with us again.
Happy hunting!

lorrac58 — 2012-09-23 19:28:20Z

In this part of Indiana, the name appears as "Brinton" in early records. I'm reading through the early county commissioner reports of Monroe County, where one of the first roads ordered to be constructed in the early days led to "Brinton's Ferry" on the White River. Do you have any idea where this was located in terms of section number/township?

Re: Brenton/Brinton family

DLBrenton — 2012-08-04 15:44:15Z

I think we may be related. My gg grandfather was John Riley Brenton born in 1846 and died in Henderson, Texas 1922. His wifes name was Dorinda Bracey. They had a daughter Josephine who married a Yeilding, son Andrew Jefferson(Jeff), son Robert E.(Bob), daughter Alice, daughter cornelia (Nellie) who married a Bracey- her first cousin., Daughter Caladonia your great grandmother, son Hardie(Horchee)and son Walter Scott who happens to be my great grandfather. my Name is Amie Brenton and I have been looking for info on the Brenton line. I know that John Riley Brenton's mother was Catherine ( Lou Katy ) Feilds and that his father was also named John Riley Brenton. His father was born in 1812 in Indiana. I have not been able to go past that. I would love to correspond with you and maybe we could find out more info together! I also recently recieved a photo of John Riley and Dorinda from another one of Josephine Brenton Yeilding's line. Would love to send it to you!
My email is amlybre@gmail.com and my name is Amie Brenton.

Brenton Tree - Marriage to Peters? Falmouth, Cornwall

scott_brenton1 — 2011-11-30 18:52:33Z

Hi All,

I wonder if anyone who has Brenton in their family tree has come across William James Brenton - maiden name of mother Peters? He was born 1912 - d. 1996 - but I am struggling to find his mother/father. Other than a possible name of Peters for his mothers maiden name.

My paternal Grandmother's maiden name was Brenton. Her Father's ancestors came from Cornwell and came to live in Broken Hill, NSW, Australia in the 1800's. My Grandmother's name was Ethel Olive Brenton b 1913 and she married my Grandfather Arthur Cameron in 1932 in Adelaide, South Australia. I know 8 generations of Cameron's yet I know little about the Brenton side. Maybe you can enlighten me?

John W. Brenton killed 11/2/1966 in Korea

I'm looking for relatives of John W. Brenton who was killed by North Korean Commandos on November 2nd 1966 while on patrol in the DMZ. We held a memorial service at Tachikawa AB Japan before the 6 soldiers were shipped to the United States for burial. I have 15 pictures of the Memorial that I would like to share with any family members or friends if they're interested. No charge of course.

Henry Brenton and Mrs. Hannah Ginn

RickDHarms — 2011-07-24 15:31:17Z

Henry Brenton married Mr. Hannag Ginn in Shelby County, KY in 1793. They later moved to Barren County, KY where they joined the Mt. Tabor Baptist Church in 1800. Also a member of the Mt. Tabor Baptist Church in 1800 was Nancy Ginn who was my GGG Grandmother. I am trying to prove that Nancy was the daughter of Mrs. Hannah Ginn from her first married to an unknown Ginn. Nancy Ginn was married to Jesse Stallsworth in Jan 1803, and Henry and Hannah Ginn Brenton asked to be relased from membership in Feb 1803 when they moved to Clark County, IN. Jesse and Nancy Ginn Stallsworth remained in Barren County, KY, but several of their children also later moved to Clark County, IN. If you have any information about Henry and Hannah Ginn Brenton, PLEASE e-mail me directly at: sendmeit@suddenlink.net

I'm getting ready to leave for a couple of weeks, but wanted to touch base before I left. I will give you a quick line then when I get back we can get into it in depth.
I don't have any Smocks in my line that I know of, so I'm
not sure about that name.

Willima Bullock b-Maryland married Sarah Oard (Ord)b-Maryland around 1778/1788. Daughter Catherine Bullock married John Brenton b-1797. (John's father William B-1760,
mother Fanny wiley b-1762) (John's sister Ruth b-1799 married William Brenton Oard???)John & Cathrine Bullock Brenton had a daughter Sarah Brenton b-1818 who married Benjamin Archer b-1818, they had a son John Archer b-1841 married Mary Ann Whisler b-1842 who had a son Ellery Archer b-1877 married Julia Ellen Maney( my great grandparents) So Brenton, Wiley & Oard are all in that one line.
I hope I did this so you can follow, any connections?? email me direct l.romer@bresnan.net Please!

Dr. Samuel Brenton, V.S.

brentoma — 2011-04-29 17:34:04Z

My grandfather's grandfather, Dr. Samuel Brenton, was a veterinary surgeon who emigrated to Michigan from Ontario, Canada and founded a veterinary practice in Jackson, Michigan c.1880. He eventually moved his practice to Detroit, Michigan (c.1887).

I have found that his parents were Francis and Elizabeth Brenton, formerly of Cornwall, England, and that they had emigrated to the area near Hayden's Corners in county Hastings, Ontario, Canada prior to 10 October, 1858 (the date of Samuel's birth), but can find no records of them or their predecessors.

Any information that anyone could provide regarding this [or any related] branch is most appreciated.

Charles William Hogg

CharlesArthur_Hogg — 2011-04-14 17:54:29Z

Hello Joy

Thank you for your message. My daughter-in-law had only just brought the paper to me. Yes, Charles William Hogg was my grandfather. My father was 15 when his father was lost at sea. My grandmother died in 1916 just a few hard years afterwards. My father spoke very little about that time but his sister, my aunt, told me more of the effects and efforts made to alleviate them.

There had been a recession in the transatlantic trade and my grandfather, who had been a purser on some Cunard ships for many years felt fortunate to get the job of bedroom steward in the first class section of the White Star Titanic. Most of the better jobs went to Southampton based crew but tips were good in the first class section, so grandfather was glad to take the job.

Thank you again. I read the Daily Post ! I would be interested to know more about the very elderly Smiths of my childhood, if ever you learn more.
Have had to be devious in getting this reply to you as my PC would not allow me to reply directly for some unknown reason.

Kind regards
Charles in Mold

Brenton, William, sons Adam & Robert Samuel

nrscott30 — 2011-04-11 15:31:41Z

Russell Hamm lists Adam Britton's Ferry at Munday's Station. That man is Adam Brenton, the older brother of Robert Samuel Brenton. These two brothers came to Owen County, IN from Clarke County, IN. Their father, William, having been granted land there for his Revolutionary War service, took his family from Bourbon County, Kentucky.
How might they have crossed the Ohio River; that is, where were the landing sites? And how might the brothers, who came independently to Owen County, IN travel from Clarke County, IN?
The aforesaid Samuel Brenton later left Owen County, IN about 1855 for Iowa or Nebraska with his wife, Margaret L. Jean. They had a son, Adoniram Judson Brenton, born near Ottumwa,Wapello County, Iowa in 1856 and a second son, Benjamin Brenton, born in Nebraska. Their third child, a daughter, was born in Owen County, IN. What route or routes might they have traveled?
Late in 1861 Sam Brenton enlisted in the Indiana 50th,which mustered in Seymour, Jackson County,IN. The unit then traveled, I know not how nor by what route, to the camp of rendevous and instruction near Bardstown, Nelson County, Kentucky. Sam contracted pneumonia enroute and died before they reached the camp.He was buried in Bardstown, and along with other soldiers was removed to the military cemetery near Lebanon, Marion County, Kentucky sometime after the war. Any idea how those men went from Seymour to Bardstown?
Judson Brenton married Mary Elizabeth Rice and they lived at one time in Farmer,or Farmer's Station, Owen Co. IN. Their son Herman Orville Brenton, married Mary Annette Gantz, a daughter of Dr. Thomas Gantz of Freedom, Owen Co. IN. He was an only child. They moved to Indianapolis, Marion Co., IN and after Judson and Mary died, the Brenton family was gone. Herman inherited the house down by the railroad and general store in Farmer. The old highway went up over the hill to the east of the present highway; it still exists and a few families still live there. Mary Annette (Gantz)Brenton's parents are buried in the Farmer Cemetery; Judson & Mary Elizabeth Brenton and Herman Orville & Mary Annette Brenton are buried in the Riverside Cemetery in Spencer, Owen Co. IN.
We would love a reply with any information that you may have. Thanks.
Nancy Scott, searching for a Brenton decendent & for Owen County, IN research.

Charles Brenton Hampshire

leilamargaret — 2011-03-12 23:13:43Z

I have a Charles BRENTON (variously spelled BRINTON / BUNTON) was born about 1808 in Ripley, Hampshire, England. He married Hannah and they had the following children.

4. William born about 1841 in Avon, Hampshire, England

In 1841 Charles and the family were living at Sopley, Christchurch, Hampshire, England, and Charles was an Agricultural Labourer.

5. Hannah born about 1844 in Avon, Hampshire, England
6. Elizabeth born about 1850 in Parkstone, Poole, Doreset, England

In 1851 Charles and the family were living at Canford, Parkstone St Peter, Dorset, England, and Charles was a Farmer’s Labourer.

7. Charlotte born about 1853 in Parkstone, Poole, Doreset, England (my 2 x g grandmother)

In 1861 Charles and the family were living at Parkstone, Dorset, England, and Charles was an Agricultural Labourer. Ann, Henry, Charles and William had left home.

Hannah died sometime between January and March 1869 aged 58 in Poole and Charles died in Poole in 1893 aged 85.

In 1871 Charles and Charlotte were living at Parkstone, Dorset, England, and Charles was a Gardner and Charlotte a Housekeeper.

In 1881 Charles was living by himself in Church Street, Parkstone, Dorset, England, and Charles was a Gardner

In 1891 Charles was living with his married daughter Elizabeth and her husband John Bryant and their family at Poole, Dorsett, England. John Bryant was an Inn Keeper. Charles gave his occupation as a retired gardener.

Does anyone have any of this family in tehir tree, or can anyone shed any light on the parents of Charles BRENTON and Hannah?

Re: Brentons of South Wales UK

mariabrenton1 — 2010-08-08 18:10:17Z

the St Merryn Brentons moved there from St Wenn in the first part of the 18th century. Philip Brenton and jane Knight had Henry b.1758,William,b.1755, Jane, b.1760 and Prudence b.1763 in St Merryn.
Henry and Frances Old had Henry b.1789, John b 1797 and Richard, b.1800 (my 3x gt grandfather)who moved to Padstow. Henry 1789 had a son called Henry b 1828 in St Merryn and maybe he had a son called Henry. I would guess your Harry name might come from Henry, but without knowing your grandfather's name, that's all I can say.

I checked out the family of Maj. James Brenton, on Ancestry Family trees. He was born 1740 Va, died 19 Aug 1782 Mercer Co. Ky, Married twice and his children born from 1764 through 1779. No Martha listed. His son James, b 1764 died 1836 in Indana, had no Martha listed either,
1818 is too late for these men I'm afraid.

I believe she married Anthony Brunnemer(born PA died Mar 1857)and she was born in KY. I do not know where she died but I believe they were parents of William Thomas McMillan
Brunnemer 3-30-1853 and James O. Brunnemer. Can anyone confirm that Martha's father was Major James Brenton who fought in the Revolutionary War? Please and thanks.

quinn828 — 2009-12-15 15:26:21Z

I am related to the brenton family as a "half" niece as orrie remarried after my grandmother died to floy moore. Most of the family lineage has been researched, the only person, not accounted for was orrie brenton, although he might be buried in kansas. This is my grandfather. My main interest lies in finding out some information or lore about him because, he apparently led a colorful life as a cowboy, traveling from town to town to compete in rodeos; he even had a mural painted, with him as the subject, riding a bucking horse. I actually saw this mural in the early 1960's in a bus station, somewhere in Oregon around Portland, but i was really small and didnt understand that this was my grandfather, lol. Well, thank you for your input, anything is appreciated, sincerely Quinn

Hi Tom, My William Brenton was born 1 June 1760 in what is now Hampshire Co.Virgina, USA. Back then it was the Southbranch of the Potomac River. He died 21 Nov 1838 in Clark Co. Indiana. Married Fanny Wiley. His father we believe was Henry Lewis Brenton who died at the Redstone Old Fort on the Monongahela River in Pennsylvania, USA. Henry Lewis son's were Andrew, Francis William Robert Adam Samuel & dau Anna all born we are pretty sure on the southbranch of the Potomac River. My William had a son William but he was born about 1803-1804 & married a Sarah Harlin in 1841. I have not come across any of the info that you spoke of.

Hopefully this will get you started on your Brenton line. Military records are restricted to spouse, children, parents or brothers/sisters of veterans. If any of them are alaive you can have them complete the form to get a copy of his records.
Look over these records and let me know if you need some help with anything else.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR REPLY....I went to the link you posted and read all the information I could find on the 65th Regt. at least I know what it means now thank you again !! Yes I know where he is buried and the information you have is correct.....Clida P Brenton (Sutton ) is my grandmother and Otto P Brenton is my grandfather. They are both buried In Union Cemetary right outside of Doniphan Mo. it's a small family owned (Sutton) cemetary. I have a picture of their tombstones side by side and I also have a copy of his death certificate. The problem is I cannot find anything on his parents or siblings or anything. We have information on him but it stops with him! I went to the national archives but there is sooooo much on that website I don't have clue how to search on there. His death certificate states his fathers name is Jas Brenton....Mothers listed as "UNKNOWN" .My grandmother never spoke about him to me nor did my mother who did'nt know much about him either since he died when she was about 12. HIs place of birth is listed as VELBEN INDIANA on the death certificate .... which does not exist according to search engines on the web and map. I have ran out of Idea's ....Can a person get a copy of someones military records when you are a grandchild and not the person child? Birth certifacate is suppose to be harder to get I was told.
Thank you again for your help....sorry this is so long a post !!

Re: John Brenton obit, Halifax 1905

This John would not have been a direct descendent of Admiral Sir Jahleel Brenton as he had two sons and two daughters. The eldest son died as a teenager in England, and the other son died without having children. Both daughters married and children.
This John would not have been a direct descendent through the Admiral's father, who was also Rear Admiral Jahleel Brenton. He had three sons, Jahleel (above) and Edward Pelham who had no children of his own, and James, who died during a naval battle while on board the Petrel.
I do however, believe he is related, as many of Rear Admiral Jahleel Brenton's siblings and nephews also reamained with the British Navy.
I just don't know which one yours belongs to yet.

searching for information on my grandfather, ora b brenton, who was born in kansas, approx. 1900. according to family lore, he competed in rodeos and travelled thru most of the western united states. He died in about 1941, his family being very poor, could not afford to bury him, so his brothers, claimed his body to be buried. He was married to helen homewood, who died before him in about 1934. any information would be appreciated.

James Brenton was born c. 1811 possibly Lymington. He married Martha ?. They had 8 children, one of which was my Great Grandfather (George) who was baptised in Lymington in 184 (as were all the children). Does anyone have any information about James Brenton and Martha, like birth or marriage please. Thanks.
