This seems to be the correct W E Brinkley, in the proximity of his parents in the Hudson Cemetery and other members of this Brinkley family. However, the gravestone (if this transcription is correct -- there is no photo provided) has the birth year only as 1900, while we know that Elmer and Zelma were born in Sept 1899, according to the 1900 census, when they were already 8 months old. The error of one or more years in the date on gravestones is a surprisingly frequent problem. William E.

The family name is found as Brinsbac and Brinsback. The form Brinsbac seems to be the French version. The Germano-French, German or Dutch form would likely be Brinsback as we find for some of the family in the American censuses. The name is found in Catholic baptism and marrriage records in various forms, such as Brinbar, Brinbard and Branbar.

Otherwise, we have misidentified Amelia Brinsback Pinot as the second wife of Louis Gocio, who was enumerated in 1850 under the name of Amelia Gocio.

This Francis (Frances) does not appear in any of the Dumont/Dumond censuses I have found. The estate settlement of Félicité in 1862 includes the name of Félicité Pertuis as one of the heirs. The settlement record listing heirs includes "Francis Pertuis wife of John Pertuis" (read April 2008 in a posting on Dumont Discussion List on RootsWeb made by Ralph Dumond in 1999). This seems to be the daughter of a daughter of Louis and Félicité Dumont, also name Félicité, who likewise does not appear in the various Dumont genealogies. The source analyzing this estate settlement record along with other official records (Grand Prairie Historical Society Bulletin, October 1980) indicates that this Félicité Brinsback is the daughter of a Félicité Dumond, who was the daughter of Louis and Felicity (Félicité) Dumond. No other children are known of Felicity Brinsback. "'Francis Pertuis wife of John Pertuis' entitled to one full share in partition petition appears to be only surviving issue." This source indicates that Félicité, daughter of Louis and Felicity, was born between 1810 and 1815. Thus she would have apparently been out of the house and not counted in the 1840 census. We can estimate that Felicity Dumond Brinsback was married about 1830 (based on birth in 1810-15, since most girls of that era were marrying about age 17-20. Perhaps her daughter Francis (who married John Pertuis) was born around 1831-35, and perhaps married about 1865 or so. Her husband John Pertuis was born about 1834, according to censuses. In the 1860 census, John is still unmarried, and is the head of his home, which includes his widowed mother and some siblings. I have found no further information to specify further the details for Felicity and her husband John Pertuis. They have not been found in the 1870 or later censues.
The name Brinsback and related names appears in a history of the Arkansas Territory and River. --------------------------------- Besides those heretofore named there were the following: Charles Refeld and Albert Berdu, of 1800, two miles from the Post; Athenas Racine, of 1801, on the prairie six miles above; John Bartran on the bayou near Vaugines; Samuel Treat, in1802, two miles from the Post; Michael Petersel, 1800, on the river; Michael Wolff, 1801, on Bayou Hunt; Joseph Greenwald,1793, five miles away; William Bassett, 1799, at the Post; Andrew Fagot, 1798, at same place; Jean Baptiste Dernissee, on the river from 1800; Jacob Bright, Martin Serrano and Peter Jordalles all had possessions near the Post dating back to 1795, while John Lavergne, one mile north, antedated them two years. In the same category were Jean Lavale, Pierre Pertuis, Alexis and Jean Jardales. About two miles from the Post on farms antedating 1800 lived Christian Pringle, Francis Gimblet, John Hadsell and George Leard. John B. Cathoit moved to the neighborhood six miles northeast in 1803 and in the same year John B. Minard settled on the bay below the village. George Kepleron the lake, with Christopher Coffman above and Lavergne below him; in 1803 Pierre Perti lived three miles east and in thesame year Charles Bogy on River Grues. In 1802 John B.Dardenne was found on the river above the Post; Madame Francis Valliere had a farm in 1802 and two miles below the Post lived Etienne Vasseau, in the same vicinity as lived Baptiste Placide. Near the Post Mary Dernisseau had possession in1802, and contemporary with her was Christopher Kaufman on Kaufman's bayou. (The spelling is Coffman at one place, and Kaufman at another.) Of about the same time was John Languies, while in the year before James Davis, Samuel Brown and George Duval settled on Crow Creek. Raphael Brinsbeck had lived two miles east of the Post since 1793, while Francis Vasseau for the same time had lived on the river. Four miles below, Jacob Goris, 1793; five miles out, Elisha Winter, 1799; and Anthony Wolfe, 1796; six miles out, Michael LaCourse, 1796; four miles below, Joseph Bogy, 1792, and Elizabeth Pertuis, 1792. Fifty miles up the river lived Michael Bonne, from 1801, and fifty leagues above was the home of Louis P. Levy, 1801; thirty miles above lived Peter Dervsier, 1800. -- "The Arkansas River," All Arkansas History and Pioneers, http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?rank=1&new=1&MSAV=1&msT=1&gss=angs-d&gsfn=Francis+Brinsback&gsln=Pertuis&msbdy=Bet.+1830%e2%80%931835&msbpn__ftp=Arkansas+County%2c+Arkansas&msfng0=Unknown&msfns0=Brinsback&msmng0=F%c3%a9licit%c3%a9&msmns0=DuMont&cpxt=0&catBucket=rstp&uidh=ig1&_83004003-n_xcl=m&cp=12&mssng0=John&mssns0=Pertuis&ftm=1&db=arpio&gl=&gst=&hc=50&ct=174 -----------------------------------
