Michael, I went back to the library today and found a book "Greene County Alabama Records" by Marshall. I found the Pleasant Hill Cemetery. In it I found the following:
Malissa Brasfield - April 24, 1844/May 23, 1869
Roeney wife of J. Brasfield - d. May 12, 1844
Inf. son J. & Roeney Brasfield - June 10, 1830/June 18, 1836 Inf. son J., & Roeney Brasfield - April 4, 1844/May 20, 1844
Does this blow our theory out of the water or does it open a can of worms?
Appreciate your input.
