    Notes:

    Mike,
    It was with the greatest pleasure that I found the name of Parker B. Brasfield and Faustina ? on the Ancestry.com website and they switched me to you. Though not a direct descendant of the Brasfield line; I can tell you that the two sons of Parker Benton Brasfield and Faustina Verlett McBroom married in Rosedale Mississippi and Parker, Sr. Having died en route to Arizona from tuberculosis and buried in San Angelo, Texas, are the two finest men I have ever had the privilege of knowing. They were my half uncles, you see and I was living with Parker, Jr. and next door to Charles Harold Brasfield when Parker died of a heart attack and was home from basic training just a year later when, (1968) Charles died from a heart attack also. The two boys had a truly tough life and if you would like to know more, I can provide almost all you want to know. Neither man had offspring, I guess I was the closest thing Parker, Jr. had for a son and Charles never had any children either. Parker, Jr. married Ann Lay and had a long and happy, loving marriage. He took care of his mother and half-sisters and brother's to the very end. A finer man I have never met. I would like to correspond more if you don't mind; you see I am searching for my biological father and his family. Please email me back as this is some of the most wonderful news I've had in years. Sincerely yours, Richard (Rick Millar)

    *******************************

    Michael,
    I have communicated with you previously regarding the wife of Parker Brasfield Sr., Faustina Verlett McBroom (my grandmother) I noticed that the children of Parker and Faustina are not listed or listed as name withheld, I have the information and if it IS "name withheld" I was wondering why.Anyway thei names are as follows:

    1. Parker Benton Brasfield, Jr. Born 1918 died oct, 1967 (I can get better dates for you if you want, I'm on the North Slope of Alaska right at the Moent)

    2. Charles Harold Brasfield Born approx. 1920 died approx Oct, 1969
    Neither men had offspring so that line effectively stopped there. I was living with Parker and his wife, Anne Lay Brasfield and next door to Charles, his brother when Parker died of a heart attack. I was 18 years old and both of these men were very special to me. I hope this helps and I CAN get the rest of the information if you wanjt it including the census info on Parker Sr.'s family. Also, there is another branch of the Brassfield family that had no knowledge of you folks untils last December. They are from Oklahoma, but Greg Brassfield is living in the Dalls area and is a Temple ordinance worker at the Dalls, Texas Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I hope this is useful in finding more family members. I am: Richard Millar of Wasilla, Alaska my preferred email is rhmillar@gci.net. I am truly looking forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Rick Millar
