Jane Wingfield apparently had 4 children after (her) marriage to Jacob
Brinley, Jacob b. abt 1845 Ar., Allis (Alice) b. abt 1847 Tx., Wallace b.
abt. 1849 Tx., E.G. (female) b. abt. 1852. I tend to think Jane either died
at childbirth or between 1852 & before (the) 1860 census as she is not
listed: Jacob Brinley age 60 b. Ky., Stephen age 22, Jacob age 15, Allice
age 14, and E.G. age 8. Also owned 2 slaves. I have wondered why they came
to Cherokee Co. The first time I have found them here is Jan. 26, 1847
where Jacob was called for jury duty, evidently didn't appear, & was fined.
I also found 2 other district court entries for judgements against him (by)
Elisha Ferguson & John Sapington, Nov. 1, 1848. This is all I have on
Brinleys.
