Henry Glen Brenton lived near Perry, Iowa in the 1880's. He was the son of Thomas Henry Brenton (of Indiana). His son, William Brenton had a farm outside Perry that backed up on the (Little?) Beaver Creek, which was visited by my relatives from 1914 to 1932. William Brenton had at least two sons and two daughters between 1899 and 1905. In addition, his mother (Mary Ellen "Dora" Davidson Harrison) remarried after abandonment by HGB, to a fellow named O'Neill, and lived in a cottage in Minburn (tiny place -- have photo). William Brenton also had a niece (Virginia Randolph nee' Rogers nee' Waldon) through Gertrude Brenton, and her children may still have family info (Waldon's: Leland b 1929, Beverly b 1931, Barbara d 1964, and Jackie b 1934). Finally there was a nephew (Merle Wilkinson through Maude Amy Brenton). Any info on William Brenton's farm, his descendants, etc. would be great.
