Author: Frederick Douglas Learned

Casper Brinkle/Bringle/Pringle was born on 3 July 1750.  

He married Marian/Mary in about 1773, and they settled in the Abbott's Creek area of what was then eastern Rowan County, which became Davidson County in 1822. Their known children and two grandchildren are named in his Last Will and Testament, which was signed on 7 January 1826.

  • Barbary was born on 12 April 1777
  • Christian was born in about 1778
  • Mary Magdalena was born on 31 January 1781
  • Charity was born on 9 December 1783
  • Jacob was born in about 1788

His Will was probated in the Davidson County Probate Court after his 1839 death. Casper & Marian's headstones are in an area that was not disturbed by vandalism that otherwise did occur at the Pilgrim Church Cemetery in Lexington, North Carolina. Casper's wife is shown as Marian on her gravestone (located next to his), and she's Mary in his 1826 Will.

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
