Notes:

My Grandmother was Frances Gage Brasfield, known to my grandfather Ben Dozier simply as Gage. I've been pretty involved with the genealogy for my paternal line (Brockman). I am going to try to reach out to the matrilineal line now and get some of those cousins together on a myfamily.com site. It seems that they are all from Arkansas for quite a few generations, Clarks, Brasfields, Doziers. I remember my grandfather's Arkansas accent. It was Cajun, sometimes he sounded a bit like the cartoon character Yosemite Sam though of course that accent is exaggerated.

Frances's father was Caleb Mcallister Brasfield, his father was George Boswell Brasfield, his father was William Noffleet Brasfield, then it goes Caleb Brasfield, then 4 George Brasfield(s) in a row if the GEDCOM file from my mother is right then a Thomas Brasfield, and I can only imagine that you must know the tree from that point.

The matrilineal line from my mother have several generations with the middle name Gage, often as an LG or Lizzie Gage or Elizabeth Gage. I am wondering why the name Gage was so conserved. There were some notable historical figures named Gage. There is Caroline Gage the abolitionist/feminist and I believe there was a Colonel Gage on the wrong side of the Revolution fighting for the brits. Then there are the Viscount Gages in the UK.

Regards, Adam Brockman, grandson of Frances Gage Dozier nee Brasfield.
