Brinkley Scribner was mentioned in Turnbo's Tales of the Ozarks as being the hunting partner of John Mosely, a relative by marriage to his cousin Margaret. This John later became the local Sheriff. The time frame and location of these hunts was in Taney County, Mo around the 1840's.

It was mentioned that when they first came to the area, it was not unusual to see a herd of 75 deer when they were out hunting. Brinkley and family were found in the 1840 Taney Co, MO census and again in the 1850 Census in Taney County. However, no trace of Brinkley was found after that. Some sources said he may have gone to Arkansas. The search of many counties in Arkansas were fruitless. Family information indicates that Brinkley did not live to be old, because he and his wife both had Smallpox and died. No records of this event have been found, but it would have been after 1870, as his son Irvin was born October, 1866.

PUT TO FLIGHT BY WOLVES AND OTHER GOOD STORIES
By S. C. Turnbo , excerpt . . .
Jon Mosely says "You wanted to know something about the deer here. Well, there was a time here in Taney County when we could see large numbers of them. Brinkly Scribner and I were companion hunters for several years. We often hunted in the hills all along the lower part of Beaver. In the forepart of the day, during spring or summer, if we did not see from 50 to 75 deer, or from 75 to 100 in the run of a day in winter time, we took it for granted that the deer were leaving or that we were unlucky. This gives you a good idea of the number of deer here when Beaver Creek was sparsely settled.

THE ESLICKS, PIERCES AND OTHERS TRAVELED FAR
by Lydia Eslick Guthrie

The Eslicks and Pierces lived in Christian County, Kentucky. They moved to Indiana in 1822 and to Missouri in 1836.

They came via St. Louis and followed the trail through Arkansas to Taney County, Missouri. There were 144 people in the Wagon train from Indiana to Missouri. some of the families were the Hopkins, Cox, Alcorn, King, Pierce, and Eslick families.

In 1849, part of these settlers moved to Iowa. The Spring of ‘49 was wet. Streams in the Ozarks overflowed their banks and could not be forded for days. At last, on May fourteenth families lined up for the trip. They dared not wait longer if they were to get to "Ioway" and get settled and make preparations for the dreaded first winter.

Those who went were: William Pierce and his wife, Permela Eslick; Andrew Scribner and his wife, Mary; Lazarus Wright and his wife, Sallie Pierce; Richard Pierce and his wife, Elizabeth LeMar; Alexander Pierce and his wife, Betesy Eslick; Theodorus Eslick and his wife, Martha Pierce; Samuel Eslick and his wife, Nancy Pierce; Thomas Pierce and his wife, Frankie Jones; Johns Eslick and his wife——Jenkins; Beden Eslick and his wife, Mary Wright; Tom Naly, Andy Howard, Brink Scribner, and Carter Wright. These last four did not stay long in Iowa and their wives’s names are not known.

I have been told that Carter Wright was the grandsire of Harold Bell Wright.

Subject: Scribner/Eslick
Hi,
Your name was mentioned on Genforum as having considerable
information on the Eslick family.
I have quite a lot of information which probably came from the
book and also an Eslick file I was able to obtain. However, one of the
John Eslicks married a Charity Scribner in Moniteau County, MO
in 1867. To date, I have not been able to find anything on this couple
once they married.
There has been much discussion that Charity Scribner and
Charity Jenkins were one and the same person, but I have been
able to prove that this is not true, and the two John Eslicks were
cousins.
If you have any information at all on Charity Scribner and
John Eslick after they married, I would be most grateful to hear from
you.

Subject: Scribner/Eslick
Dear Mr. Jones,
I appreciate very much your answer to my request for information.
May I compliment you on your information.
You have the John Eslick for whom I have been searching, the John (I
have just found in him a census (1860) and his middle initial was "A",
born c. 1837
[R# 3115 ] and who was the
son of Francis Eslick, MD, [R# 659 ]
son of Samuel Eslick, [R# 449 ] who came from Kentucky.
I found an abstracted record of marriage between Charity Scribner [R#
3921 was entered on 15Feb01 ]
and John Eslick who married November 1867 in Moniteau County, MO. I
am reasonably sure that the John I mentioned above was the young man
she married. To date, I have not found where they settled. As such, I
was in hopes that you may have had this information.
My connection to the Eslicks is through the marriage of my grandfather
James Curtis Scribner [R# 3144 ] to Hannah Pierce,[R# ? ] who was
the daughter of Thomas J. Pierce [R# ? ] and Lavinia Eslick. [R# ? ]
Lavinia was the daughter of John D. Pierce, Jr. [R# ? ]
I note that your information on Brinkley Scribner, who is my great
grandfather, came from Regonna Fosbury. Regonna is my second cousin
and her information was incomplete and the statement that Brinkley
died at Shiloh in 1862 is impossible, as his youngest son, Irvin
Scribner was born 1866. (I have Irvin's death certificate which
verifies birth and family bible pages also indicate the date of his
birth.)
I searched the microfilm records of Civil War Records for MO,IL,AR,TN
and TX and there was no record of Brinkley having served in the Civil
War.The date of his death is unknown, and family information from the
grandson of Irvin indicates that Brinkley and Polly Boles both got
smallpox and died when Irvin was very small and his older sister
Hannah Jemima helped to raise him.
I have the 1850 census record for Brinkley and his first wife Hannah
Merryman, but there does not seem to be any paper trail after that
time for Brinkley. Hannah, his first wife may have died after the
birth of Hannah Jemima, but I cannot document that.
Family information indicates that Polly Boles was the mother of James
Curtis and Irvin, but I have been unable to find her or a record of
their marriage or a census showing them together.
I appreciate your sending me your post on the website, and when I find
Charity Scribner and John Eslick together with their children, I will
send you the information.
Sincerely,
Connie Gaines
