Leonard BRASFIELD, Jr. I was born in Prince William Co., Va., a few miles northwest of what is since known as the Bull Run Battle ground, on the first day of June, 1800. I was left an orphan boy in 1816, and traveled to Kentucky with an orphan brother in 1818. I removed from Woodford Co., Ky., to Clay Co., Mo., in the fall of 1830. I have paid tax and worked roads forty years in Clay Co. I don't owe at this time any man a dollar. I formerly voted the Whig ticket, but I am now disfranchised.
