THE SEARCH FOR THE FAMILY I NEVER KNEW
In Loving Memory of Cleo LaVonne Brinker
In
1952 my immediate family was split-up, three of the five children were adopted out and their names changed, one
died in an orphan's home at the age of 5 months and one was raised by a great aunt. Thanks to this research, in
1968 I found and was reunited with my sisters and my father.
But,
my mother Cleo LaVonne Brinker Hall seemingly vanished from the face of the earth in 1955.

I
have spent a life time searching for her to no avail, but as the years have past and her age now being over the life's exspectancy,
I never want to see history nor the Brinker Family Tree pass her by as just a name and no record of her and her children’s
existence, so I have set out to write that history myself, hoping that it will
be passed on and up-dated through the generations to come.
I
have diligently searched to find the most accurate information possible, as many photos as possible, and a good account of
each person's character.

The Brinker Families of America
The Brinker name, meaning people living near grass lands, was a German name spilled Brungger in the
German dialog and Braucker in the Swiss dialog.
The Brinker families in America originated in Germany. They later fled to Switzerland and Holland
during the European religious wars and then to America as early as 1735.
Many lineages of the Brinker family are found in America including the following:
-
Andreas Brinker and sons, arrived in Pa. 1735 and settled in Pa.
-
Henry Brinker arrived on Ship St Andrew Aug. 1750 PA.
-
Johann F Brinker arrived in New Orleans La 1841 and settled in Missouri
-
Jon B. Brinker arrived in New Orleans 1843
-
Thomas August Brinker arrived 1844 moved to Indianapolis, In. in Sept. 1847
-
Balthazar Henry Brinker arrived in New Orleans Jul 5, 1839 and settled in St Louis, Missouri
-
Jon Henn Brinker arrived in America 1846
-
Claus Brinker arrived in NY 1850 and settle in Wisconsin
-
William C. Brinker arrived in Boltimore Jun. 27, 1853 and settled in Grant, Indiana
But, the earliest was the line of Andreas Brinker, who arrived with his wife, five sons and one daughter, in Philadelphia, Pa. on June 28,1735 aboard the Brigantine ship Mary.
Being the linage of the author this website is the story and study of Andreas Brinker and his descendants.
This family has enter-married with and worked along side many of our nation's most historic people
such as: George Washington, Jost Hite, the Bowman brothers, Daniel Boone, and many others. They have played significant rolls
in the French and Indian War, the War of 1812, the Revolutionary War, and the Civil War. They were the pioneers of many of
our major cities, counties and states. Many of our state parks are the remains of their homes and businesses.
