Hi Frank: Hope you can help me. I wrote to you before but didn't get a reply. In my family I have seen 3 different spellings Briarton, Brierton and Bryerton, my GGG use Bryerton, he was Sylvestro. My GG was Thomas both lived in Canada. Thomas moved to Troy, Watervliet, New York after marriage. My G was Sylvester Brierton, lived in Brooklyn, N.Y.
All I do know is my GGG's parents were born in Ireland. Don't know who they were. 1st wife was Sydney Scott. Her parents were James Scott and Mary McHale both from Ireland. 2nd wife was Mary Carroll and her parents and possibly her were from Ireland. Sylvestro had Thomas by Sydney. Sydney died probably in childbirth. He had 6 other children with Mary. Just found out about them recently. Hope there is someway you can help me find out more about the Briertons. Thank you.
