Peter Brushfield died in Madison, Indiana in 1833 of yellow fever before his son was born.
The Brushfield family in England have 2 letters from his son, Peter William (born posthumously in the USA in 1833), written from Australia in 1905/6 to an English cousin, detailing his adventures in the USA and around the world in 1848 to 1853. He travelled to Australia on the Schooner Lannen in 1853 to 1854 - a very eventful journey. His descendants live in Australia to this day.
