The county-history sources names this settlement in its chapter on Jefferson Township. These are the passages that mention it, exactly as the scans read.

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 339 specimens collected within 10 miles of Brinley between 1876 and 1974: 335 Animalia, 3 Plantae, 1 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Cole, G., F. White, G. R. Austing and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.
