Notes

I have checked the indices to the N.C. censuses of 1800, 1810, and 1820.

There were no female Brindles. In Surrey county, where Elizabeth was

married, the only Brindles were two listed in 1800: Daniel and George.

As for Swans, there were many more named "Swann," which I also

checked. There was an "Elisabeth Swann" in Craven county, 1800, and a

"Robert Swann" in Rowan county, 1800, but no other Elizabeths or

Roberts anywhere.

No Elizabeth Brindle (or variant spelling) was found in the N.C. IGI except

as the spouse (1797) of Miles West, where her name was spelled

Elizabeth Brendel. Moll says the date has faded away from the marriage

certificate, so perhaps the IGI has drawn from a much earlier

compilation that included it.

At least twice I have seen this Elizabeth Brindle identified as a daughter

of Daniel Brindle & Susannah Weathermon. This cannot be right, since

Daniel was born after Elizabeth. Perhaps she was his sister.

Joanna Elizabeth Stevens is 7th in descent in a pure female line from

her. It is remarkable that each woman in this line who was the first

daughter born to her mother was named after the maternal grandmother,

though in the latest two generations only in the middle name. Observe:

Elizabeth ?

Susan 1st

Elizabeth Swan/McLee 1st

Mary Ellen 4th

Leah Albaugh 5th

Mary Elizabeth 1st

Winifred Leah 1st

Joanna Elizabeth 1st

It is a well-established tradition in Scotland, Ireland, and elsewhere to

name the first daughter after her maternal grandmother. Thus, there is

at least a considerable likelihood that Elizabeth's mother was named

Susan. Moreover, Leah has stated that her mother's

great-great-grandmother was Susan McLee, born in Scotland, and that

Leah's grandmother's middle name was McLee rather than Swan. If, as is

thought, this tradition is correct, Susan McLee was probably an ancestor

in the pure maternal line, and thus the mother of Elizabeth Brindle. (It is

also possible, though less likely, that she was the mother of either

Robert Swan or Mary Williams, or maybe even grandmother of Elizabeth

Marley.)

Based on this admittedly inconclusive evidence, I think the mother of

Elizabeth Brindle was Susan McLee, born in Scotland.
