William Brisbin my 6th grandfather born 1724 got records this one married to same 6th grandmother is born 1706 when William is born 1724. This is what general James Sanks Brisbin descending from what shows here might need merge or corrected. Person that added this no longer has a profile. James Sanks Brisbin

Brisbins proven are the same family but bloodlines are confused with each other. Brisbins go back to 1300s Wessex charters before charters.

Hi Private User, Private User, Tamás Flinn Caldwell-Gilbert, Private User can you take a look up on the tree and help to Lawrence to resolve, seems might have some incorrect on the top of this part of tree.

and if you can try resolve and right connect with:

If I good understood Private User, it is same branch of Brisbin family.

In advance thanks.

Thanks ya Guys for giving a shot at this confusing lines in the Brisbin family my line already backed with documents to my 8th grandpa and a Brisbin book. It's our other cousin lines also confused mixed up understandably it's one big Brisbin family some has the same names.

My great grandmother that passed when I was in third grade was a Brisbin.

Pretty much all Brisbins in America came from my 6th pa or his brother Samuel that was killed by natives when he was studying cave paintings believe in ohio

They all were in Canada at first some loyalist then some came to America. We still have kin in Canada to this day also

My line it was my fourth pa and believe his father Joseph Arthur Brisbin that came to America from Canada. Dutch reform church record baptism shows my fifth pa Joseph and his brother with their parents William Brisbin & Elizabeth Ferguson there was a family Bible that was lost also used to be only source till I found Dutch reform record. It's saved on William and Josephs profile. At first was New York then Canada then came down to America yup.

Appreciate ya time looking into it. Rest of our cousin lines got mixed up

Oh ya can look up the Brisbin book also which document my 8th pa and that's when it's part of the noble Brisbin family at that point.

Private User how i already responded to you in message, seems maybe possible mistake is here Capt. John Brisbane, Sr in his profile in section About written that his parents are:

Father James Brisbin and Mother: Margaret Carruth (DAR# A014576)

What I think is a same with: Admiral James Brisbin and Margaret C. Brisbin (born Carruth), but I do not know reason and why William Brisbin and Elizabeth Ferguson was added as his parents (?) also for as his step-siblings: William Brisbin and Jannette Brisbin and also up: James Brisbin and Beatrix Brisbin (born Campell). I think possible James Brisbin is a same Admiral James Brisbin or James as husband of Beatrix was brother of Admiral John Brisbane (?)

Ya on right track actually yeah Beatrix Campbell passed really young she was the mother of the two brothers my 6th pa William Brisbin and Samuel Brisbin and after she died admiral James Brisbin remarried and had the two brothers half siblings think before immigrating to America from Ireland or after. Where we get Scotch Irish from.

Both my 7th pa James and 6th pa William were loyalist and don't know much about Williams brother Samuel other than he was killed by natives studying cave paintings when he came down from Canada to Ohio.

For General James Sanks Brisbin most likely he does descend from my 6th grandparents where he was located at birth. Where my line ended up at in America and migrated. But something's off in General James line can't make out what is other than a error happen to one of his grandparents throwing it off. He could of descend from my 6th pas brother Samuel. Hope it gets organized.

Also there's the two brothers half siblings also.

Hope this guides ya guys somehow many thanks for taking time on this.

Ok here's link to Captain John Brisbin general James grandfather he's born 1730 and he can't be the son of my 6th pa because he would of only be 6 years old idk how they got William born 1706 records show 1724. Capt. John Brisbane, Sr

Maybe Captain John Brisbin is the half brother of my 6th pa and his full brother Samuel. Huh?

Since they all have same father admiral James Brisbin but different moms but the two brothers. Very old family folklore in the family about the two brothers.

General James Sanks Brisbin definitely deserve to be placed in the right line of the Brisbins for sure. There's a picture of him behind Abraham Lincoln also with his signature being sold for 4,000 dollars by a distant cousin on his father side.

My best bet would be digging in Dutch reform records and Canada roots see if General James Sanks Brisbin line can be placed in correct order of the Brisbins.

Found Dutch reform record having my 6th grandparents and fifth grandfather Joseph and his brother. William Brisbin loyalist escape prison helped 52 men through the mountains to Canada where he settled and raised his family. Untill our ancestors started coming down to America.

Capt. John Brisbane, Sr Is not the same person as John Brisbin and John Brisbin seems to have the correct parentage of Admiral James Brisbin & Margaret C. Brisbin

The Admiral James line seems to be Scotland > upstate NY > Canada. Loyalists in the Revolutionary War.

But Capt. John Brisbane, Sr?through=6000000023223784855 was a Patriot in Pennsylvania, apparently also an immigrant from Scotland. His antecedents are not sourced so I can’t say for sure. But he doesn’t make sense as a Loyalist in Canada, so I think the note in the “about” is incorrect.

Private User you had worked on the profile. Can you confirm my suspicions? I realize you may not know his ancestry!

Yeah the Brisbins were patriots and loyalist some of the family had different views and turned away from loyalist activities. Find a grave had patriot John as son of James and Curuth I'll try to pull a record I hope. I think my 6th pa Williams brother separated also because he was killed by natives studying cave paintings in America

The thing with Brisbins is it's one ancient family all Brisbins descend from the same ancient family going back to Wessex definition of the name means broken bones.

Not all the Brisbins remain loyal to the crown there's folklore of patriots and of course my 6th pa William got big bio of loyalist activity. But I think some of his half siblings left branch of the Brisbins did go to PA and illinois. My third pa Daniel Brisbin had plantation farm in Illinois and went to California and Colorado. Daniel and his brother John were disabled veterans from the civil war part of couple major events in civil war cousin Ronald has more info on them than I do

Thank you Erica for checking on this and fixing the merge issue. I'll try to find why find a grave has Patriot John as the son of my 7th grandparents in a sec

Plus patriot John way younger than my 6th pa William like by thirty years so highly unlikely he's part of this line of the Brisbins. Prob connects with us farther back somewhere.

There is a Brisbin with all of our noble ancestors ya guys might want to check out pass my 8th pa John Brisbin. Greenock and Black Hall Stewart's stuff like that. One Brisbane was a Lord Chancellor of Scotland be a beautiful tree to have on here.

Brisbin book I've mistyped I'm sorry
