In search of the connection between the European and the North-American BRENNET families

The story starts with documents from 1520 in a tiny town in Belgium : Marbais. One soldier joins the German-Austrian Empire army in 1620 : Jean Brennet (His family signs a deed to preserve one of the estates for when he returns) He probably settles in Germany (Prussia-Poland), from where many emigrated to the USA.

The first Documented fact in the USA is Corporal Benjamin Brennet, in Captain John T. Chunn’s company, Kentucky Infantry, commanded by Colonel John Miller. (Kentucky war) Also Banner Brennet was an Indiana Farmer in 1850 (Benton , Monroe Co), age 63. They might have been brothers.

My research is nationwide.

My JASPER CO research is about F.A. BRENNET , living in TWIN GROVES in 1910
(Census record T624 Roll 792 Part 1 Page 102B)
He kept a restaurant, together with his wife IDA (she was German)
He was born in Kentucky , around 1862
Any help welcome (be it only his correct first name)
