The Missouri Brinley
are unique as they descend from BOTH
Jacob Brinley and Eve Hoke as well as
Mathias Brinley. Jacob and Eve had a
daughter Barbara and Mathias had a son
Mathias, who married each other. They were
in Pennsylvania in the late 1700's, in
Kentucky in the 1790's and Missouri by 1804.
Based on DNA we
know Jacob and Mathias were related but not
as brothers. The DNA testing company said
they had a common relative, 2 to 4
generations prior to Jacob's birth in 1721.
Today these families have relatives in
almost all US states.
There are at least
3 different Brindley families in the United
States, which are not related to each other
and proven via DNA. In addition there are
Brindley families with some families
spelling their name as Brinley. Our German
family has one family member spelled
Brindley living in Oregon while all others
are spelled Brinley. He descends from the
Missouri Brinley's.
The English
Brinley's arrived in the US in the early
1600's and settled in New York and other NE
areas as well as Pennsylvania in the
1700's.
A second group of
Brindley's, aka Brinlee, descend back to
Ireland and England. |
