From: LJ Brorsen [mailto:ljbrorsen@hotmail.com] Sent: Thursday, December 29, 2005 9:00 AM To: genealogy@brasfield.net Subject: family history Hello, I am writng to Michael Brasfield as your name is noted as contact for Brassfield genealogy. I am assisting my wife's father, Virgil Grantham, in his efforts. His mother is Mamie Brassfield, 98 years old and alive and well. We visited this week in Oklahoma. The current focus is on any information relative to her mother, Molly Ford, wife of George Brassfield. They married in 1906 I believe in Scipio, Indian Territory. Mamie said Molly's father was George Ford but she was less sure of Molly Ford Brassfield's mother, believing her name was Samantha and that she was called Mancy. She said Samantha Ford had a tombstone in the Brooken OK cemetery (perhaps covered now by Lake Eufaula). She said George Ford said they were French and Choctaw, coming from Jackson Miss by way of Arkansas before going to Oklahoma. She said her father George Brassfield met her mother as he worked on the Brassfield ferry over the North Canadian river and she was a passenger. any information on Molly Ford or others in the Ford line? Molly had eight brothers and sisters apparently including Willy, Gus, Ernest, Emma, Lula, Jim, and John.

Buried:
Lone Grove Cemetery

Molly married BRASSFIELD, George Washington on 30 Sep 1906 in McIntosh, Oklahoma, USA. George (son of BRASSFIELD, John S and STANDRIDGE, Serena Louvina) was born on 12 Jan 1887 in Eufaula, McIntosh, Oklahoma, USA; died on 24 Nov 1940 in McAlester, Pittsburg, Oklahoma, USA; was buried in Pittsburg, Oklahoma, USA.
