3. CHILES, Mollie was born about 1857 in Livingston, Alabama (daughter of CHILES, William E. and BRASFIELD, Adelaide C.); died on 28 Jul 1915. Notes:
Dear Mr. Brasfield, I just came across your website when I was looking for some information about my great-grandmother Mollie Chiles. She married my great grandfather Dr. Tomas R. (Rufus) Burnham who was from Hamburg Ark at the time of their wedding which took place at Cedar Hall Arkansa on Dec 2, 1886. I think he was in Millissippi at the 1850 census and in Louisiana in a LA census of 1860. He was a graduate of Tulane University Medical School and I think that he and Mollie lived in Jones LA where he was a country doctor. I think Mollie was a school teacher in Jones, LA .Mollie was his second wife and they had two children-- Bonny Kathryn Burnham and Tomas R. Burnham jr who we called Rufie. Mollie Chiles Burnham died on July 28,1915 and her husband Dr. T.R. Burnham died on Nov 10, 1898 after catching a cold after being out in rainy bad weather in his horse and buggy seeing a patient. My grandmother- Bonny Burnham Denham lived with a black woman called Tilda Brasfield and apparently she was a slave that had belonged to Mollie's family or T.R. Burnham's family. Tilda Brasfield died in the mid 1950's and she is buried in Wilmot Arkansa where my grandmother lived. Her brother Rufie Burnham was a dentist in Lake Village AR. So know where it says "unknown Burnham" you can fill in some of this history. Let me know what you think.
