Yes, I am researching this family.My husband's 2nd great-grandmother was Elizabeth Dugan (born abt 1820) who married 20 January 1840 Nelson County, Ky, James Burke.Her parents were Owen Dugan and Mary Briney who married 8 September 1814 Nelson County.I think Mary, who was born about 1794, was the daughter of Anna Margaretha and Henry Briney.Church records indicate Henry had a daughter "Maria" born 11 April 1792 Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and I am wondering if this could possibly be our "Mary"?
I haven't done much research on this family yet, as I just recently found their connection.My husband is descended from several families that settled in the Nelson County area - Bowles, Briney, Dugan, Burke, Lacefield (Lasswell), and Truax.I'll let you know if I find more information.
