    Notes:

    Hello Michael,

    My name is Rodney Gene Brasfield. My grand-dad is Willis Thomas Brasfield which is the son of Jason Thomas Brasfield. Jason Thomas Brasfield was married to Minnie Jane Purser. She was born May 26, 1900 in Flourence, Alabama. She died February 3, 1990 in Jonesboro, Arkansas. She was buried on the 5th at Bassett Cemetary in Memphis, Tn. My Great grand-dad Jason died in Memphis, Tn on July 9, 1967. Minnie Jane Purser was the daughter of John W Purser and Lucellia Johnson. I do know she(Lucellia) was born in Dec. of 1885 and married to John Purser in the year 1900. She was only 14 and he was 16. I have a copy of the Marion county, Alabama census of 1900 showing this information. This is all I have except that somewhere they divorced or he died and she married James Albert Brasfield son of John Bryant Brasfield and Nancy Anne Brassfield. This information was giving to me by a cousin. No documented proof is found at this time. Both Lucellia and John W were born in Alabama. I know of no siblings of her or if Lucellia had any more children at all. This Purser line was supposed to be related to the famous sheriff Buford Purser(Pussor). Not sure on the spelling yet. Just getting into the family tree on that side but having a lot of trouble. I'm going to include a picture of my Great Grandparents Jason Thomas and Minnie Jane Purser which will be the Photograph of the couple and a Picture of Lucellia which is the single women. I am also going to enclose a picture of Lucellia's Father. The only info I have on him is his last name Johnson. He is the picture with two women and the first women in the white dress is Beatrice Brasfield the older sister of my Grandpa Willis Thomas Brasfield. The other lady is unknown at the present time.
    This is all I know of this section but thought it would be a great help and maybe help me in the long run with the Purser side of the family tree. If you can enlighten me on any more information I would really appreciate it. If you would like any more information just ask and I'll see what I can do. I also have a picture of Caroline Smith, John Bryant with one of his son's Iley. If you would like these let me know.
    I appreciate the work you have done on the Brasfield lineage. You have helped me out a lot and have taught me a lot too. You can use these photo's in the picture section of the web sight but please make a note that if you say picture supplied by, please include Juleen Christensen also cause she did supply me those pictures and the info on Lucellia's second marriage to James Albert Brasfield.
    Thank you
    Rodney Gene Brasfield

    I have seen records that James Augustus Brasfield also went by J.G. Brasfield. The 1910 Chickasaw County census shows a J. G. Brasfield 72, wife Mary E. 68, son Wm. L. 14, son Jas. C. 12, son-in-law D. W. Bridges 31, daughter Sophronia 32, grandson Clyde Bridges 5, and daughter Annie Brasfield. Do you know if Wm L. and Jas. C. are the sons of James Augustus/J.G. or perhaps grandsons? I'm looking for a Cleveland (possibly James Cleveland) Brasfield born 1898 in Chickasaw County, MS. Appreciate any help.
