Notes:

Michael, Was noticing the parents of George Robert Riley Brassfield, James and Armond Heron or Herring. I have been told by a couple of sources that Mary Heron or Herring and Armon or Armond Heron or Herring were sisters, and married brothers. Also that Armon's father was a brother or cousin to Abraham Lincoln's grandmother. Have you heard that? My grandparents were William Henry Spence, b. Aug. 1, 1890 [not 1889]at Wallowa, OR and my grandmother was Mina, not Nina. Her name was Mina Eliza Allen, b. May 26, 1892, at Lostine, OR. My grandfather's father was Henry S. Spence, b. Sept. 5, 1862 in Davis Co., IA His mother was Mary Lillian Brassfield, b. April 1, 1868 in Livingston Co., MO Henry Spence died Jan. 2, 1932 at Wallowa, OR and Lillian died April 7, 1943 at Enterprise, OR. Henry and Lillian are buried in the Enterprise Cemetery, Enterprise, OR, as well as William Henry Spence and wife Mina. Joe Spence 3/23/2001 spencefly@oregontrail.net
