I think I may be able to help clear up some of your questions about Brinkley Gandy, father of Booka Gandy.Brinkley was born about 1744 (give or take one year according to my calculations).He married and/or had children with a woman whose name may have been Polly.One of those children was Booka.Booka's bible, purchased some years after Polly died, has her name as his mother.The name, "Polly," however, was inserted after the family history pages were filled out is in a different handwriting than other items on the page.In 1786, Brinkley took out a marriage license in Nash County, N.C., and married Martha (known as "Patti") Chambliss, daughter of John and Lucy Chambliss.John Chambliss' will names all of his grandchildren -- in other words, the children of Patti.Booka is not named.He also was born before Brinkley married Patti -- so it appears that he was the son of an earlier wife than Patti and his bible says his mother was "Polly."(In a different document, Brinkley acknowledges that Meshack also was his son, and Meshack also was not a son of Patti Chambliss.)
Brinkley served a short time (apparently less than three months) in the American Revolution in a North Carolina Company.He was a co-founder of Nash County, N.C.He moved in 1786 to Darlington District, S.C., where he was one of the first settlers of the area known as Society Hill, and later moved to Butler County, AL, where he died (I believe he died about 1834, but don't quote me on that unless you can check it or I look it up in my records).
