Notes:

Michael, Was noticing the parents of George Robert Riley Brassfield, James and Armond Heron or Herring. I have been told by a couple of sources that Mary Heron or Herring and Armon or Armond Heron or Herring were sisters, and married brothers. Also that Armon's father was a brother or cousin to Abraham Lincoln's grandmother. Have you heard that? My grandparents were William Henry Spence, b. Aug. 1, 1890 [not 1889]at Wallowa, OR and my grandmother was Mina, not Nina. Her name was Mina Eliza Allen, b. May 26, 1892, at Lostine, OR. My grandfather's father was Henry S. Spence, b. Sept. 5, 1862 in Davis Co., IA His mother was Mary Lillian Brassfield, b.
