YALE COLLEGE, CLASS OF 1816
JOHN STEINMETZ BRINTON, the eldest son of John Hill Brinton (Univ. Pa. 1790) and Sarah (Steinmetz) Brinton, of Philadelphia, was born in Philadelphia on July 20, 1798. A sister married his classmate McClellan.
His health began to fail during his College course, and this, together with his strong love of classical literature, delayed his professional studies. He spent about a year at Oxford University, and traveled on the Continent; but finally began his preparation for the bar in the office of Jonathan W. Coudy, of Philadelphia, and was admitted to practice.
He married on February 26, 1825, Adelaide, daughter of Isaac and Alida Gouverneur, of New York City. On the 8th of the following August she died in Philadelphia, of fever, and his death from the same fever followed on August 18, at the age of 27.
