BIOGRAPHICAL (from Hellie, Mader & Rickey, pg 144):
Nancy C. Brisbin was born in Center County, Pa. Her death occurred in the Waldo Hills in January 1864. Her father, John Brisbin, was a native of Pennsylvania, whence he removed to Kentucky, becoming an influential and prominent citizen there. He served as judge and took an active interest in public affairs, contributing largely to the improvement and progress of his community. He was a very successful educator, and was also a fine penman. In the early ‘20s he removed to Illinois, locating near Jacksonville, and subsequently he took up his abode near Pekin, that state. In 1846 he made the trip to Oregon across the plains with an ox team, and died in the Cow Creek Canyon. They had lost all their stock and were coming on foot when Mr. Brisbin sickened and died. He was at that time alone with his son, who buried him, digging a grave with his hands. It had been necessary for them to wade through the water, and in this way Mr. Brisbin had become ill. The remainder of the train proceeded on their way, while the father and son stopped for what they believed would be but a brief period, thinking that the father would be better soon. After burying his father, the son hastened on and joined the rest of the party, but in the meantime nearly starved, the supply of food giving out. On reaching their destination, a settlement was made by the Brisbin family in Marion County.
