Message Board Post:
Thank you both for your replies. I have found quite a bit of information about Nancy
Staley and her family. I have visited Mt. Pleasant Cemetery in Hall, Indiana, and took
pics of their headstone. It's Brison Martin who is being incredibly elusive! I can
find nothing regarding his life prior to his arrival in Indiana, around 1832, when he
helped form the Mt. Pleasant Christian Church in Hall. Census records for 1820 and 1830 in
VA are slave schedules, which really don't give much information since I don't
know his father's name.
I have searched Civil War records for Brison, with no luck so far.
I will keep searching - he has to show up somewhere!
Ann
