All I Know is that YSEARCH DNA shows that there is a match between my late husband;s oldest known Ancester, Richard Brindley and a Brindle, the Brindle's relatives were from Lancashire, England. Brindley & Brindle both were a match to a Stanley. I also found the Stanley's in Lancashire ,UK. about 1850's . Passed down stories say Richard Brindley came to America in 1750 as a young stowaway. He resided in Botetourt VA in 1770's Abingdon, Wash CO VA 1780"s,Jeff. Co TN. 1795..Thank you for any information. hbrindley
