The first is who are John Brunson's parents?
Until Coddington published his articles, several books published that John Brunson who married Hannah Scott and went to South Carolina was the son of Richard Brunson and his wife, whose sister was a Weybourn.
Coddington used this logic.
John Brownson/Brunson of
South Carolina was determined to be son of John Brownson, by conveyances in
Farmington, Hartford County, Connecticut Land records dated 20 May 1739, 28 May
1739, 18 June 1739, 21 June 1739 and 25 June 1739 ... The various South Carolina
heirs conveyed their rights to land in Farmington and Wethersfield, Hartford
County, Connecticut, which descended from "honour" predecessor John
Brownson, formerly of Farmington, deceased, to John Brunson of Prince Frederick
Parish, South Carolina, then Craven County, South Carolina, who conveyed this
property 25 September 1739 to his cousin Aaron Brownson, Samuel, and Richard of
Kensington in Farmington, Connecticut ... Under date of 24 Sept 1739 is the
statement that John Brunson of Prince Frederick, Craven County, South Carolina,
appeared in Farmington for purpose of signing this deed. From recordings of
documentation, John Brunson of South Carolina removed himself to Connecticut in
Sept 1739 to settle the claims of the branch of his Family. It is interesting
all parties to the deed were descendants or husbands of descendants of John
Brunson, and only one being descended from Richard Brunson ...
However, Samuel the son of Richard Brunson did have sons named Aaron and Samuel. I can't tell you why John Brunson Jr (son of John and Hannah) isn't in the will, he must be deceased, however, we know that John Brunson Sr died in 1711 and Isaac died in 1739. So perhaps the John Jr. is a grandson (as supported by the church records in the last blog). And the selling of the land was settling an estate with the remaining heirs of John Sr. signing over their rights to John Jr who acted as agent.
So as far as I am concerned, his logic is faulty.
Okay, about the Isaac's. Isaac is a very popular name, and we have few records to state with certainty which Isaac belonged to which son of John Brunson Sr. For years I had one of my lines as a son of Isaac, but then I ran across the following from Stewart County, TN from the estate of Isaac Brunson Jr. who had minor heirs at his death.

account current of Isaac Brunson by administrator Nathan
Ross; equal payments to:
heirs of Daniel Brunson Sr. (Daniel Brunson Jr.,(Edgefield
died in 1843?) Joseph Brunson (Edgefield), Polly Brunson, Sarah Brunson,
Margaret Brunson), All in Edgefield, SC
Moses Brunson, In Stewart Co, Tn, in 1820, he’s born 1795,
MOST LIKELY a son of Moses Brunson, Sr
Josiah Brunson Sr., ** Has to be Joshua Brunson**
David Brunson Sr. (? Son of Peter)
Mathew Brunson, (son of Mathew Sr, Darlington District, SC)
heirs of Josiah Brunson Sr. (Hezekiah Brunson, Josiah
Brunson Jr., Mathew Brunson, Daniel Brunson Jr. of (Lincoln County)Georgia,
Lenorah Brunson, Allatha Brunson),
Susanna Platt; (widow of Randolph Platt(
commissioners John Ferrel, Thomas French, Jesee Morris; May
term 1829
The folks named are all heirs of Isaac Brunson who married Margaret Oldys. Most are his grandchildren. It is not clear why the death of Isaac Brunson Jr started all this paperwork.
So Isaac Brunson Sr's will clearly states his heir who match the above named folks.
Will in
1770 names wife Mary, sons Daniel, David, Isaac, Josiah, Mathew, Moses and
Joshua, and daughters Mary Mellett and Susannah”
Daniel Brunson, my ancestor who married Mary Platt I have determined then to be the son of Isaac Brunson who married the Ellender, and in turn, is a son of James Brunson.
Here is a message I got from someone about these folks. She like me had the Isaac's attached incorrectly.
I didn't really research the Moses in Ga. but he received a grant
for 200 acres in Burke Co Ga. 1789 but do not know which Moses this was. Which
Isaac are you writing about. Isaac and Margaret had son Isaac who mar mary,
Isaac III mar Susannna Ellender of Edgefield according to record he died
intestate in 1827 and was listed as "of Cane Savannah." It is
recorded that his estate was settled by his son-in-law Jeremiah Pitts. Papers
are recorded in Sumter CO., Courthouse, Probate Jusdge's office Bundle 14, pkg
7 His children listed as James, Isaac 1V, Joseph, Susan, Daniel, Rebecca,
Margaret, Valentine. Do you have a different record? Or is this your line. My
line is from Abraham, brother to first Isaac. I do not know all of his
children, it is possible he had a Moses. I only know of a few children. I have
all the children of Joseph another brother and son of Abraham. Isaac Brunson
the third wasborn 1745, died 1827, Every body had an Isaac all the way through
all children even my line. They are hard to seperate. Does any record state
where your Isaac was from and location of any family. I also have an Isaac who
was son of John son of Abraham, my line.
Here are some notes I have on the family. (various records).
