Jeff married Mollie Mae Whitsell or Whitesell.  Her name on the marriage
record is spelled Whitsell.  But in a couple of genealogies that have her
maiden name, it is Whitesell, with no documentation.

Several genealogies reports his first name as Jefferson, which we would expect
for the common name Jeff.  Note that he is reported as Jeffie in the 1900
census, at 10 years old.  However, Jeff himself reports his name as Jeffie
even in formal situations like his Draft Registration and Social Security
records.  This also the name on his California Death Record.  The following
genealogy reports no wife.

In 1940, Jeff's wife has a different name.  Etta is his second wife, reported
by one or two genealogies as Etta Adline Scott.  Her mother is living in their
home.  From his first wife's entry in the 1940 census, we learn that she was
already living in Cooke County with their two children in 1935.  They probably
divorced about 1932 or 1933.  I cannot find the family in the 1930 census.  I
note that his census report here says he was still living in Jones County in
1935.

After his divorce from Etta, he moved to California.  In 1957 he married
again, to Marian Waller (Fisher).

Notes for Jerold Lee BRINKLEY


Marion Mixon records the brief details short life of Jerold Lee Brinkley: 
Jerold Lee Brinkley Birth 15 JUN 1923, Death 31 OCT 1925 in WestOver TX

Mixon, http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/12166079/person/-321973183  I found that
the death date on the grave is different from that reproted in the genealogy
cited above.  The Westover Cemetery transcription shows the date of death for
Jerold as January 10, 1925.  BRINKLEY, JEROLD  2-YR OLD SON OF REUBEN & VERA

Notes for John H BRINKLEY


Genealogies tell us John H Brinkley's parents were William Brinkley and Fortuna
Howell, who were marreid in North Carolina.

A descendant of John Brinkley, Bill Alexander, has compiled a detailed
genealogy of his Brinkley ancestors.  In that genealogy, he reports the name
of this John Brinkley as John Anderson Brinkley.  Other sources, however,
family and public, report him as John H Brinkley.  The middle name of his son
James was Anderson.

The North Carolina record of John's marriage to Jane Parrish (sometimes
spelled Parish) reports John as John H Brinkley.  The marriage took place in
Granville County, North Carolina.

North Carolina Marriage Collection, 1741-2004
John H. Brinkley, Spouse Jane Parrish
Marriage 3 Dec 1832 Granville County, North Carolina.

Jane and John moved to Dyer County, Tennessee, before the Civil War, since
their children were born in Tennessee.

Notes for Rabie Lee BRINKLEY


This child's name looks like Rabie or Raby in all the censuses.  It is found as
Robie on one or two genealogies.  In the Social Security Death Index the name
is Rabie Brinkley.  Several genealogies just copy names they have found from
one or more censuses, including a mistranscription of the name of one of
Rabie's brothers Elmer.

The following genealogy, still, provides some additional information that
seems to come from family sources, like Rabie's middle name of Lee.  This
genealogy lacks Rabie's brother James Page Brinkley.

Rabie was born a few weeks before Indian Territory and Oklahoma Territory were
merged with a few additional pieces of land to become the new US State of
Oklahoma in December 1907.  Genealogies report that the place of his birth was
Walters, later to be in Cotton County, Oklahoma, formed in 1912 out of
Comanche County.

This was part of the Kiowa-Comanche-Apache Reservation that was opened up for
white settlement in 1906.  this appears to be when James and Etta Brinkley
moved up from Texas.  Walters was on the Rock Island and Pacific Railway,
which connected Waurika and Lawton.  The following explains briefly the
history of the area.

"In 1855 a Choctaw-Chickasaw agreement held that they would lease a part of
their land, to the United States for the Wichita and other Plains tribes.
After the 1867 Medicine Lodge Treaty the area became part of the
Kiowa-Comanche-Apache reservation. Cotton County's eastern portion opened to
non-Indian settlement in the 1901 Kiowa-Comanche-Apache Opening, which
distributed land by a lottery system. In 1906 settlers claimed the remainder
of the county's land when the Big Pasture, grazing land reserved for
Kiowa-Comanche and Wichita-Caddo livestock (with many acres leased to white
ranchers), became available through a sealed bid process. The federal
government platted five townsites for the Big Pasture opening, Randlett,
Eschiti, Ahpeatone, Quanah, and Isadore, with the latter two in present
Tillman County. Randlett is the only original town still incorporated. Other
incorporated Cotton County towns are Devol, Temple, and Walters."

The last listed here is Reuben Wyette, son of Reuben Cole.  We see from the

censuses.  Brinkley family sources tell us she died in 1918, having borne one
son, Reuben Wyette Brinkley in 1917.  My cousin and co-researcher Marion
Mixon, gives us her details in his genealogy.

See details of Bessie Lee's death certificate in her Notes.

Reuben Cole married again about 1922.  Information on the birth of their first
child indicates they were still living near Westover in Baylor County.  Their
son Jerold Lee Brinkley, was born 15 June 1923.  But he lived less than two
years.  The Westover Cemetery transcription reports the death date on his
grave is January 10 1925.

In 1930 the census records him with his new wife Vera Pearl (Russell) and
children in Houston, where he is now a Baptist Pastor.

I am puzzled by the report here that Vera first married at age 24, when her
current age at the census is 28.  (Since the census date is 1 April, this
means she was already 28 by 1 April.) This would mean she was married about
1925, yet her first child with Reuben was born in mid 1923.  (I am assuming
they were married at the time of Jerold's birth, which seems to be the case. 
I have not yet found the marriage information as of 28 August 2009.)

Family sources, reported in the genealogy of Marion Mixon, report her date of
birth as 5 Aug 1902.  This would mean that she would not have been 28 until
August 1930.  But this census is almost 5 months before that.  If she was
first married at age 24, on the other hand, she would have been married in
about 1926, still well after the birth and death of Jerold, and even too late
for the birth date of her first daughter Kathaleen in February 1926.  So I
cannot account for this.

The birth of Kathaleen, according to this census, was before 1 January 1926. 
The Texas Birth Index, however reports she was born on 19 February 1926.  So
her age of 26 is not as of the census date, but has been rounded up to the
next birthday, about 50 days later.  So it appears they were not very precise
on their dates and ages.

This record, as well as the census, tells us that at some time after the death

Notes for Reuben Wyette BRINKLEY


Reuben Wyette Brinkley , born in February 1917 was the only child of Bessie Lee
Jackson Brinkley. Reuben's mother died in January 1918, when he was less than
a year old. After her death his father moved into the household of Reuben's
grandparents in Baylor County, Texas.  Here is the 1920 census report of the
family.

stepmother and two younger sisters.

Family sources reported that Reuben died in Coleman, Coleman County, Texas. 
But the Texas Death Index reports that he died in Taylor County.  It would
appear Coleman was his residence at the time of death.  It appeared he was in
the hospital in Abilene (Taylor County), north of Coleman, when he died.  This
was confirmed in a Seymour news article, an excerpt of which was available on
a summary from NewspaperArchive.com.

"REUBEN W. BRINKLEY Mr. Reuben W. Brinkley. age 64, of Coleman and formerly of
Seymour, passed away Monday. February I, at 8:00 p.m. in an Abilene Hospital.

One Brinkley family genealogy reports that he was buried was in the Westover

I find that the Westover Cemetery List reports his death date as 4 February
1982, while the Death Index says 1 February.  I wonder if the Westover date is
the date of burial?  I assume that the date in the cemetery list is the date
of death as reported on the gravestone.  In a few cases I have found these are
wrong.

I found that a family source also reports death date as 4 February, following
the Westover entry, apparently.  I am reporting death according to the date in
the Westover list.

Notes for Robert BRINKLEY


Robert is a 2-year old in the 1870 census in Dyer County, Tennessee.  There was
some confusion in trying to find the documentation for the children in this
family and reconciling that with family information.  There was a Robert C
Brinkley documented in later censuses matching family information on a Robert
Brinkley born in 1876.  He is 4 years old in 1880.  This Robert C is
documented as R C Brinkley in the 1900 census in Johnson County, Texas, where
we know Brinkley family members moved.  James Anderson married his second wife
Martha Garrison in Johnson County.

My cousin and coresearcher Marion Mixon suggests:
"The Robert listed born 1868 is a different one than the one born in 1876 and
perhaps died, then the other Robert in the 1880 census with the 1876 birth was
named after him.  Family records, which I have [contain] no documentation
other than census and what others have, shows Maggie died in 1877."
--  Marion Mixon, Personal email to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 6 October 2009

We have not found any of this family in the 1860 census to confirm any of the
missing early details.  The first Robert, reported here in the 1870 census,
must have died between 1871 and 1876, if the later child Robert C was named
for him.  Robert probably in Arkansas,  The nest child, George, was born in
1870 in Dyer County, Tennessee, as Robert was.  The next child, James Matthew,
was born in Green county, Arkansas.

The second Robert was Robert Clarence, born in 1876, also in Arkansas.  Robert
Clarence married and moved to Walters in Cotton County, Oklahoma.  It appears
that at the time Robert C died, they actually were living in the part of
Walters that is in Comanche County.  Robert Clarence was buried in the Walters
Cemetery in Cotton County, Oklahoma.
