John Abraham Taylor (1807-1885) married Mary (Polly) Preisoch (Prisock, Prysock), and moved from South Carolina to Franklin County, Alabama in 1827. He became known as "Parson John" for his preaching of Christianity in Franklin, Colbert and other northern Alabama counties as well as in Mississippi and Tennessee (although he was not affi- liated with any formal church organization). Descendants and rela- tives of Parson John lived in South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, Indiana and elsewhere.
This Brightwell Ancestors and Decendancy research begins with Len Reynolds Brightwell of Crenshaw Co. Alabama. The Brightwell family came to the USA and settled in Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina. There were Reynolds Brightwell men in those areas but we have not been able to connect our Len Reynolds Brightwell to the descendancy line yet. This Brightwell family settled in Crenshaw Co. and Covington Co. Alabama. Since then the Brightwell family has spread out throughout Alabama and numerous states but the ancestry of this book mainly deals with those older generations in Alabama.
Here is a reminiscence whose theme is my family. I try to discern something of the personalities of my ancestors, along with the bare facts that I could uncover. It is a portrait of a river, a great river of memory, and its tributaries, which lie in the imagination. What is a family, anyway? It's a giant dream, a mental conception that allows a person to be strengthened against the adverse tides of the present, or to deepen present contentment and happiness. In either case, I hope my descendants will find this dream, this slice of their own history, useful and entertaining. And I hope my great-grandfather will forgive me for turning his walking stick into a metaphor. It's still a walking stick, believe me. I even use it, sometimes, when I'm out in the woods.
