Hi Terri !
I decided this holiday weekend would be a great time to have a look through my Great Grandmother Rosetta Brigman's scrapbook. It was given to me by my Grandfather Joe C. Brigman at least 25 years ago and I've never taken the time to really look it over. It's crumbling nearly to dust so I knew opening it would be time consuming. I was sort of afraid too that it would just disintegrate. I finally decided the info was no good to anyone if I didn't take the risk soooo with hubby's help it's now all photographed and I'll be putting it on the web as soon as possible.
My GGGrandfather Joshua W. Brigman has been my focus for several years due to a story my Grandfather Brigman told me long ago. I haven't been able to find a birth certificate for Joshua and knew that some other researchers show Joshua's mother as Eliza McLeod including the informant on Joshua's death certificate, my GGrandfather Joseph Wilson Brigman. The 1860 census shows Joshua, age 1, in the household with father Jacob C but Eliza isn't listed. The only female in the hh was a Caroline, I assume Brigman because there are ditto marks on her name. To complicate things more, which my Brigman folks seemed to have a knack for
This obit refers to a "brother" S.L. Brigman with the same burial/death date you've cited for Alexander “Sandy” Luther Brigman b 7-12-1883 Anson Co., d 6-29-1923. He's buried in Mizpah Cemetery along with Joshua and Mary Margaret Gardner Brigman. Could this be Joshua's half brother by Jacob C's marriage to Laura Wilkes?
Obit lists the children of Joshua/John W. Brigman as
Sallie -(never married)
Annie -(never married)
Maggie - (married a Woodard)
Minnie - (married a Warner)
JO & JJ - (One of these must be "Johnnie" and I didn't know about the other before this obit)
Joe - (Joseph Wilson - my line - married Rosetta Smith)
Lula or Lola (married a Mangum - didn't know about this one either)
1900 Census shows children of Jacob C and Laura Wilkes Brigman as
Thomas H
Annie L
Charlotte E
Solomon J
If anyone would like a scan of the Joshua/John W Brigman obit just email me at brigman@buriedfamilytree dot com and I'll be happy to send you one.
Good searching!
Tess
