Reminiscences of the Bench and Bar of Missouri: With an Appendix, Containing ...
By William Van Ness Bay
JOHN S. BRICKEY.
We became acquainted with this venerable lawyer in the
fall of 1836. He was a native of Richmond County, Virginia,
and was born November 2, 1791. He was of French
Huguenot descent. His education was obtained in the old-
field schools. His father being in reduced circumstances,
and incumbered with a large family, young Brickey determined
to go West and become the architect of his own
fortune. When only eighteen years of age he went into the
western part of the state, and taught school there the first
winter. In the spring he took up his march for Tennessee,
and in the summer opened a school there, and taught until
1810, when he again started for the West, landing at St.
Genevieve, and after resting there a short time proceeded to
Potosi, in Washington County, with the intention of opening
a school there; but changed his mind and proceeded to St.
Louis, and entered the office of Edward Hempstead as a
student at law. After completing his studies he was admitted
to the bar, and located at old Franklin, in Howard
County. After practicing there about two years he returned
to Washington County, and settled at Potosi.
At the first session of the General Assembly after the organization
of the state government, in 1821, Mr. BRICKEY was
chosen SECRETARY OF THE Senate. At the election which resulted
in the elevation of Mr. Monroe to the presidency, Mr.
BRICKEY was chosen ELECTOR, and gave his vote for Monroe
and Tompkins. He also represented Washington County
several times in the Legislature, and for about eighteen years
was prosecuting attorney for the Ninth Judicial Circuit.
Mr. BRICKEY had some experience in military life, having,
in 1812, joined the Rangers, a body of men sent out by the
government to protect the settlers from the ravages of the
Indians, who had been instigated by the British government
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When John Brickeys estate was finally settled in (filed 1872) 1876, there was only $556.00 left to distribute to the heirs.
