5. | ![]() ![]() Notes: My grandfather, Major, was brother of Rufus and had two sons, Harold and John. (Not listed on RootsWeb). He was also half Cherokee, but they lived on Chickasaw Lane on the reservation because that's the only place where there was room. There was at one time the leader of the Cherokee nation who refused to live on the reservation called Chief Bowles. He was half Scottish. Red headed Cherokee. They were given most of East Texas where my family settled until the Republic of Texas army after Sam Houston was ousted betrayed and slaughtered them. After that, the survivors hid until it passed over then came back years later and just said they were white. It's a long story and I'm rambling but suffice it to say, yes there is a Cherokee connection. I can't believe I don't know the Paul in Palestine. That's right near Tyler and La Poyner where we're from. I'll ask my father. All the best, Steve Family/Spouse: GARNER, Katie Dean. Katie (daughter of GARNER, John Nelson and ASKEW, Ludy) was born on 19 Aug 1903; died on 23 Mar 2002 in Tyler, Smith, Texas, USA; was buried in Tyler, Smith County, Texas, United States of America.

Brasfield Sent: Saturday, July 12, 2003 12:10 AM Subject: More info re ALLISON ASBURY BRASFIELD Hi Mike, I was contacted a few days ago by Steve Brasfield re English ancestry. He's now told me his family line and the info should tie up some of the data you have. I've copied his latest email and will elaborate with following. John Major and Rufus O were Allison Asbury Brasfield's sons. Rufus' wife was Ette Jernigan (I had located that myself a couple of day's ago from his cemetery record). The dad Steve Allison Brasfield refers to is John Evan. I passed on the info about the originally George Brasfield surveying land for a Carver in Va. It turns out Steve's wife is Carol maiden name Carver. Her family originally from Tennessee. He's now speculating on the possible family connection. Steve was a geologist but is now a writer/actor living in Los Angeles. ----- Original Message ----- From: Brasfield@aol.com To: carol.brassfield@ntlworld.com Sent: Friday, July 11, 2003 11:08 AM Subject: Re: websites Sure, you can fill in our names or fwd them to him, whatever. Rufus was called Ruf and died at an early age. My father doesn't remember him. Major (John Major actually) married another half-breed Cherokee from Oklahoma, Katie, who died at 98 last year. Their two sons, John Evan and Harold Allison still live in Texas. John had two sons, John and Tim, and my dad married Jacquelyn Hardin and had myself and an older sister Patricia. Major was a wonderful, kind, gentle man. He died back in the eighties. Most people around Tyler, Texas where my dad has been a very successful oil explorationist for the last 50 years know him. He's quite a character, now 73 married to a 37 year old and we all think he'll probably outlive her. The man is a phenom. He drinks beer all day and is always on the move. Still finding oil regularly. I play a character based on him in my play. His wife's family is from Scotland and they go over there once a year. She, however, grew up in a tiny West Texas town. When her mom was alive, the accents at her parent's dinner table were all over the place. Steve Harold married HARDEN, Jacquelyn Ann on 28 Aug 1949, and was divorced on 5 Oct 1973 in Smith, Texas, USA. Jacquelyn (daughter of HARDEN, John Matt and MCCRARY, Margaret Estelle) was born on 5 Jan 1934 in LaRue, Henderson County, Texas, United States of America; died on 19 Aug 2018 in College Station, Brazos County, Texas, United States of America; was buried in Henderson County, Texas, United States of America.
