Okay, it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Jerry Mower at is the king of putting together the Christopher Brill information. He was also a decendant of the Maurer's who were apparently quite close to the Brill's and their families married at least twice. From him I got a copy of the history including when he came over, a copy of the will, and the James Fouracres deed, which is a document that lists the names of the daughters and their husbands. I can e-mail what I have to you. My grandfathers parents were Bert Brill and Alice Riggs, (when I looked I found a few more Harolds). somewhere in the history of his father John there was an interesting event in Ohio with a traveling evangelist who was apparently quite influential and ended up taking them all for some money. They even wrote a book about it. I will have to ask my dad the name of it. I have a copy, but it is in storage. Hope this helps you a little.
