FRANCES BRIM & MARGARET EUNICE MERRICK
Looking for the origins of Frederick Brim b: 1762
d:11 Apr 1822, Rochester, Monroe Co., New York. The clues thus far are from the Holland Company Land Sale records for Cazenovia, Madison Co., New York. Frederick is also documented in the 1790, 1800, 1810 and 1820 US Census records.
There is a story of the history of Cazenovia which described a "large Germanic man", name not known, who accompanied the Holland company survey team. Frederick was one of the original settlers of the area and appeared to be a man of some means as he purchased many plots of land in the Cazenovia area.
When Frederick passed on, many of his family eventually became part of the Mormon Movement and can be seen in Nauvoo, Hancock Co., Illinois.
Margaret, diedof Billous fever 25 Oct 1844, 76 years of age, her daughter Parmelia died in the same year. "Eunice" obituary Nauvoo Sexton Record pg:23. Her son Alfred Wallace Brim b: 15 Nov 1815 married Mary Anne Merrill daughter of Gillman Merrill and Rebeccah Severe [sic] Sevier.
The youngest Brim in America that I can identify is Henry Brim b: 1753 of Maryland (Revolutionary Soldier) d: 1835 Pennsylvania. This man looks like a brother of my GGGG Grandfather Frederick. Frederick Brim of Casenovia named his first son Henry and from what I can recall the Holland Land comany set out from Maryland.
Does anyone know where Frederick is buried or if he left a will ?
