Brimhall Surname User-submission:

The family story is that the name was originally Bramhall and two brothers of that name emigrated from England to what would become the US in the early 1700s. In the late 1700s there was a family schism, and one man changed his name from Bramhall to Brimhall to dissociate from the others, so we are all descended from him.
