Do you know of Brillian ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Brillian. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Brillian.<1>

Our sources for Brillian (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Brillian other than they indicate that Brillian would be found somewhere in Putnam County, West Virginia.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1890 and closed  in 1913.
