BRINSON, WOOD posted by Lee Laliberte on Sunday, August 10, 1997

I am interested in the parents of a Charity WOOD who married John BRINSON,Jr about January 1799 in Duplin Co.,NC. Both were born about 1780 according to the census of South Carolina of 1800, 1810, 1820, 1830, 1840, 1850. Information suggests that the father of Charity WOOD may be John, Peter, or Simon of the 1790 census of Duplin Co., NC. There is another possibility that Edward WOOD of the 1790 census of New Hanover may be also her father. This is possible since it is highly suspect that the John's Jr. and Sr. BRINSON's were of South Carolina in Horry Co. in the 1790 census and lived very near or at the state line. These individuals later were residents of Charleston Co., S.C. John, SR. is believed to be born about 1755-1760 and the son of a Mathew BRINSON of the 1790 census in Horry Co, SC and died in 1809 and left his will. Mathew BRINSON's parents alson unknown, but suspect he is the son of Adam BRINSON.
