Rob is buried in Walters Cemetery, Walters, Oklahoma.  Walters is mostly in
Cotton County, Oklahoma, but partly in Comanche County, where Robert lived,
going by the 1910 census.  His widow Beulah was reported living in Walters,
Cotton County, in 1920.  In the probate records, it is indicated that Robert
left property in Cotton County, and Beulah is referred to as "of this county." 
But there are indications they actually lived on the Comanche County side of
town.  The probate records for Robert C indicate he died on 18 May 1916.

Robert Clarence was buried in the Walters Cemetery in Cotton County, Oklahoma. 
The cemetery listing has Robert Clarence, his wife Beulah, and one R C, who
would to be their son Robert.  No dates are found for any of them.

Details are uncertain on Wiliam.  genealogies report his birth year varying
ffomr 1750 to 1775.  His son John H Brinkley was born in 1810, so the earlier
dates don't fit well.  There are likley also multiple individuals of the name
also whose recods compilers have confused.

Elmer is listed here as W E.  I originally concluded that the W stands for
William, and this is confirmed by a Find a Grave Memorial for William.  The
name on his grave is actually William E.  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.

Notes for Amelia Ann BRINSBACK


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.

It appears that Amelia married widower Louis Gocio some time after Pierre's
death   It is possible that his first wife was also named Amelia.  His will
refers to the chidlren of his first wife Amelia Gocio.  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.

Louis and his wife Amelia were enumerated with their blended family in 1850. 
Her name was entered as Emilie, as was her daughter's and Louis' daughter of
the same name.  Emilie Brinsback Pinot's name on her gravestone was Emilia.

Notes for Francis BRINSBACK


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.

Alice here would be the daughter of Isaac's first wife Edna Bigges.  They were
married in 1853 (one sources has 1854) and Alice was the first born.

Alice Ann Briscoe

--  Holden,
http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/9892787/person/-727392935?ssrc=&ftm=1

Note that he reports the place of birth as Weatherford, yet he reports that
trhe date when Isaac moved to Parker County was 1857.  This would indicate
Alice was born in Kaufman County.

Notes for Alpha Azelee BRISCOE


The Holden Family genealogy tells us that this person's name is Alpha Azalee
Briscoe.

Commenting on survivors mentioned in Isaac Jefferson Briscoe's obituary, the
compiler comments:
"3. Mrs. W.J. Seay of Davidson OK - Alpha Azelee Briscoe (daughter of Isaac
and Mary Kincaid)   4. Mrs. H.A. Wooley, Mineral Wells - Sarah Briscoe 
(daughter of Isaac and Hettie Price) 5. George and Henry Briscoe - George,
(son of Isaac and Mary Kincaid), Henry, (son of Isaac and Hettie)"
--  Holden, http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/9892787/person/-727382842/media/1

The 1880 census lists this child as the lastborn, but the entry appears to be
A E, instead of A A.  Alpha Azelee's mother, Mary Jane, died after her birth
at some time before the census.  I have not found the death record (April
2010).

Briscoe, A E (A A?) W F 8 TX MO TN [b abt 1872]

In 1900 we find a listing for Alpha Azalee with her husband and two children. 
They are living in Oklahoma Territory, in the Altus Township, located in Greer
County.
