I am a member of FTDNA. On that site my cousin and I who both descend from the Bryan's and Miss Brinker. We both have a surname match for de Sille. There was entire family of de Sille's living in that area at that time. Additionally I am a member of Gedmatch which can reveal locations by ancestors. Belgium shows up as does Dutch of course.
Does anyone know by any trail how de Sille and Brinker could possibly be related? I have no matches for Brinker surname but have matches for Brinckerhoff surname
Brinckerhoff: Matches to these Brinckerhoff family's.

De Sille is mentioned several times being associated with William Prince of Orange but only in business transactions.
In 1584, de Sille made up the conditions of homage of Prince William to negotiate with the Earl of Leicester pertaining to control of the Netherlands. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicasius_de_Sille
