- Lucinda Emmaline Catherine Ermamine Susan Louiza Jane Brassfield (3/17/1863)
***************
Michael,
I have an obituary for Mrs. Emma Peters, identified as the daughter of Charley and Leah Brassfield, born 17 May 1863, Sullivan Co, MO. Emma, who I believe to be Lucinda Emeline, died 2 Jul 1943 in Ottumwa, Iowa. This obituary identifies first husband as Will Link, second to W. A. McClaskey, and later George Peters (who died Jul 1934). She is buried at the Camp Ground Cemetery near Osgood, Missouri. I note this information regarding Leah after noting your entry of her name as Ceir Brown Brassfield.
In Jul 1860, Charles and Leah with children Mary and Granville, were living in Liberty Township, Grundy, MO. Sometime before Aug 1870, they were living in Bowman Township, Sullivan, MO with all their children (living next door to to my GGG and GG Grandmothers). After the death of Charles, Leah and children moved in with her brother Isaac Brown in Bowman Township, Sullivan, MO. Isaac Brown was my GGG Uncle, being the brother of my GGG Grandmother, America Brown Surratt. On the 1880 Census, Leah is identified as the sister of Isaac Brown.
Isaac, Leah, and America are all children of Reuben Brown and Mary Ann Wiley.
Leah's full name is believed to be Leah Catherine Brown and was born in Sangamon, IL.
William Hansford Link was the son of Uriah Link and Malinda Lamar (first wife).
To try to put this together, Uriah Link married his second wife, Mary Ellen Surratt, the daughter of America Brown and John Surratt.
William married his step-mother's cousin.
