I've come across mention of a Thomas BRENNAN and wife Rebecca and wonder if anyone can provide more information on this family. I don't know if the following all refer to the same couple or not. Any additional info would be appreciated.

1) Elizabeth Ann BRENNAN b. 8 Aug 1810 in Nova Scotia, d. 9 May 1901 in Pipestone, Minnesota, m. 20 Oct 1831 Benjamin Wheelock JACQUES b. 8 Jul 1807 in Aylesford, son of Alexander JACQUES and Mary DURLING.

2) Sarah O. BRENNAN b. abt 1818, d. 21 Apr 1887 in Peabody, MA, m. Abednego PARKER b. 31 Jul 1799, d. 4 Sep 1884 in Peabody, MA, the son of Abijah PARKER and Lydia BALCOM.

3) Harriet BRENNAN b. abt 1828 in Aylesford, m. 20 Jun 1866 in Cornwallis, Kings Co., NS to Benjamin ELLIOTT b. 1801 in Wilmot, Annapolis Co., Nova Scotia, son of John ELLIOTT and Rachel BENT.

4) Mary J. BRENNAN b. abt 1832 in NS, d. 25 Oct 1871 in Worcester, MA, the wife of Thomas J. AUSTIN.

Harriet Reid Elliott's death record indicates that her parents were Thomas Brennan and Rebecca Miller. She died in 1920 at the age of 91 -- record indicates that her son, Benjamin Elliott, was the informant.

Thank you for that tidbit. I should have done some more looking before posting since I also found the family listed in "The People of Kings County", although I'm doubtful about Margaret b. abt 1811 who married Daniel McCallion. According to the list of heirs, I have the following members of the family (though not in this order). Any additions or corrections would be welcome:

Elizabeth Ann 8 Aug 1810 - 9 May 1901 m. 20 Oct 1831 Benjamin Wheelock JACQUES
Sophia abt 1812 - 4 Apr 1894 m. 7 Oct 1830 John JACQUES
William
Thomas
Sarah O. abt 1818 - 21 Apr 1887 m. Abednego PARKER
Charlotte 25 Jan 1820 - m. 3 Apr 1848 William H. FISHER
Rebecca 25 Aug 1822 -
Frances abt 1826 -
Harriet Reid 25 Oct 1829 - 20 Oct 1920 m. 20 Jun 1866 Benjamin ELLIOTT
Mary Jane abt 1831 - 25 Oct 1871 m. Thomas J. AUSTIN
