Both his birthplace and parents are subject to question. His obituary in the Lancaster Intelligencer Journal claims he was born in Middletown, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, although Rockingham County, Virginia, is also reported. That same obituary claims he was the son of Dr. Abraham Breneman, but a variety of family trees assert his parents were George & Barbara (Vinegar or Phenegar) Brenman, and Jacob & Mary (Beery) Breneman are also reported. He was a graduate of Philadelphia's Pennsylvania College of Medicine but in 1850 was still claiming "agriculture" to be his life's work.
