RE: Richard Brinkley and family. I am a descendent of Richard's brother, Stephen Sr. Their mother was Francis who died ca 1829 in Davidson Co, NC. I am searching for her husband, as it seems everyone else is! Stephen, Sr stated in a deposition in Davidson Co Pleas and Quarter Sessions, 16 May, 1839, that he was born in Granville Co, NC. He stated that he recollected the marriage of Philip White in 1782 in Granville Co, NC. White's widow was applying for a Rev War pension. So there must have been quite an age difference between Richard and Stephen, Sr?
