He was elected to The Carpenters' Company of Philadelphia before 1768, but no Company records prior to the 1760s survive to give a specific date. Prior to the Revolution Bringhurst served as an officer or committee member of The Company; in later years he was inactive. Elected to the American Philosophical Society in 1774, he was a member of the building committee for Philosophical Hall, erected in the 1780s on what is now Independence Square.At the time of his death Bringhurst was residing in Rhode Island.
