    Notes:

    Mike,
    I have decided that you should be afforded additional information so that you can draw your own conclusions about my information at hand.
    The information I sent you is in the bible, but is typewritten and affords much more information than is handwritten. Since it consists of 4 pages and includes more recent data, I have concluded that Kirby did research and put together the information along with that written in our bible.
    I am now going to start to give you only what is handwritten in our bible. On one page at the front is written Sollie W. Brasfield, Solomon W. Brasfield, Book, Jan 24th 1874. Another page which is the publication page has Willie Brasfield written with the Holy Bible between the two names. I think that Willie wrote that and it identified the bible as his possession.
    On the marriages page there are two columns listing the following. I am not going to change any spellings seen.
    First column
    George Brasfeild + Betsey Major was married August 23rd Day A. D. 1787
    Willie Brasfeild son of the Afford + Emmaline Shaw married February the 22nd Day 1822 A.D.
    George Simpson Brasfield and Martha D. Kennedy was married September the 20 day of 1848
    Married on the 22nd of Nov. 1870 Kate D. Brasfield to James H. Norvell
    S. W. Brasfield son of G. S. and M. D. Brasfield was married to Cordie L. Cox Aug. 15 A. D. 1871
    Second column:
    Married on the day of Augst 1882 Emma S. Brasfield to Geo. P. Holman
    Married on the day of 1884 Sam G. Brasfield to Bashbie Wright
    Dr. Albert Brasfield and Gussie F. Dabney was married Dec 20th 1893
    Dr. Albert Brasfield and Maggie Norell Brasfield was married Oct 17th 1917
    Landrum Brasfield and Maggie Norrell Brasfield was married Mch 16th 1910
    Please note these possible dissimilarites from the handwritten and the typewritten pages in my possessions.
    Betsey Major not Elizabeth Majors
    I do not understand the significance where under Willie Brasfeild is written son of the Afford. The rd in Afford may be something else. It is written with the letters very difficult to read in a fancy script.
    Cordie L. Cox not Cordelia Louise Cox
    Kate D. Brasfield not Demetria Kate
    The information on Dr. Albert Brasfield and his two marriages supports the information that Albert married his son Landrum's wife as suggested on the typewritten list I previously sent you, but the bible does not mention that information. I do not know where it came from. Please note once again that there is no Wylie Brasfield written anywhere, only Willie
    I will relay further information as I find time. I hope this information reported in the manner I have it will shed some new light on your research.
    Regards,
    Lyle
