Hi to Paul:
Paul what is the Cales connection to the Germanna Colony? I'm getting
a feeling that there is something here in my search for John Brant.
Grizzel Cales moved to Greenbrier with her daughter Mary Catherine Cales
who had just married John Brant in Rockingham Co. Va in Nov. 1798. They
all had German blood. Jacob, Grizzell's husband is listed as deceased in
the marriage record for John and Mary Catherine. Grizzell didn't live far
from where they settled. She also had her father and some brothers living
in Greenbrier (Handleys who were Irish).
Robert Fleshman of the Germanna Colony moved to Greenbrier in 1799.
Does anyone have a record of a John Brant, Brandt, Brand,etc. as a part of
the Germanna colony? Harrisonburg in Rockingham Co. and Madison Co and
Culpeper Co. are side-by-side.
Maybe there is some kind of connection here. I've searched for John Brant
all over Pennsylvania to no avail. But I've never searched the Germanna
Colonies.
Thanks,
Vince Brant
