I am very interested in this Steven Baxter Splawn as just tonight I was out at our friends whom we have known all our lives. Their father was Stephen Baxter Splawn and I had asked them about their genealogy as I wanted to help them find more info. The dates are not the same. The Stephen we are looking for was their father. He was born 11-8-1885 (Oklahoma) and died 10-14-1951 (Gresham, Oregon). He married Willie Logan Rushing on 11-6-1909 in Oklahoma. Stephen's father was John William Splawn who was born in Missouri 11-12-1853 and his mother was Mary Cam Jaye who was born 9-5-1855 in Illinois. Do you think that your Steven Baxter Splawn might be a brother to John William Splawn? John William Splawn's father was listed in their papers as Mayberry Splawn of Missouri and only showed the name Caroline as Mayberry's wife from Kentucky. Stephen's family settled in Gresham, Oregon I think in the 1930's. He owned a restaurant at the State Fair, but had other work. Their family does have more information, if you think we are on the right track. Stephen and Willie (mom Splawn)had a large family here. Several are still alive. We worked for their son, Floyd, a number of years. You can reach me at rox61@hotmail.com

SPLAWN/SPLAUN/SPLANN/SPLAN/SPLON. Brenda E. Givens (3826 North Euclid, Kansas City, MO 64116) seeking information on Isaac Splawn b. 1779 S.C. probably Fairfield Co. Who was his first wife?

Was their father Stephen Splan of Fairfield Co., Camden Dist, who is listed on the 1790 and 1800 census and received a land grant in S.C. 1800 or was he John Splon on 1790 Camden Dist. S.C. cansus or John Splawn on the 1800 Spartanburg Co. S.C. census? The Splawns probably moved to Rutherford Co. N.C., then to Bedford Co. Tenn. John and Mayberry Splawn moved to Carroll Co. Missouri 1816, then to Daviess Co. Mo. 1830. Isaac Splawn is listed on the 1820 & 1830 Bedford Co. Tenn. census, 1834 moved to Daviess Co. Mo., Sheridan Twsp. Are they related to William Splawn b.

Ky., then 1840 to Ralls Co. Mo. Their eldest dau. m. William S. Tipton in S.C., when she died, their 2nd daughter married him. The other children were Rosanna, Jemima, Nancy, Stephan and William C.

Mayberry Splawn Jr.

Some of this information (I believe) came from Sammy Duncan, Splawn
genealogist, 2424 Oaklawn Blvd., San Angelo, Texas, 76903. (1983)

An additional source of info for this fgs comes from Diana Enz, 15515 SE 322,
Boring, Oregon. 97009 (503) 668-6229, April 1989.

An additional source of info is Roy. L. Splawn, (1985) 4901 SW 100th Ct,
Miami, Florida 33165. This is the source for Elizabeth Splawn. I assumed she
was the daughter of Mayberry, but this is not proven.

Another source of information is Norma Corey. She lists as an additional
source, the 1850 census of Gundy Co. Missouri. She also lists a marriage lic
for Mayberry and Frances. She also lists, obituary of Jeremiah. She has, as a
birthday for Mayberry, Abt 1814.

******************************
Mayberry and Bethena Splawn with 7 children started for Oregon in May 1852 from Daviess county, Missouri. Mayberry was captain of the wagon train and after a short time out about 10 days Mayberry died. Bethena was elected the new captain. Bethena and family arrived in Oregon in October 1852 and she took a donation land claim in Oregon. Bethena Splawn died in Yakima county, Washington.

There may have been a wife before Bethena but there were none after her marriage on 26 October 1826 in Ray county, Missouri.

Mike,

On everything I've come across having to do with the Browns, the spelling has always been Brassfield.

On 18 Oct 1899 in Keosauqua, Van Buren county, Iowa, Jared A. Brassfield marrried Lucy Brown. On 1900 Census, Village Twp, Van Buren county, Iowa, Jared and Lucy are listed with Lloyd Brown and family. Also listed are Lewis LeRoy and Charles E. Brassfield, ages 15 and 13 (possibly from a previous Jared marriage?)

In 1916 obituary in Idaho Daily Statesman, Boise, ID: John Ancel Brassfield, 12 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Brassfield, died at the home of his grandmother, Mrs. Orlando Robbins, on Friday, 28 July 1916

Jared apparently went by Judd: Shoshone Journal, Shoshone, Idaho, 6 Nov 1899: Judd Brassfield and Miss Lucy Brown were united in the Holy bonds of Matrimony, at Leander, Iowa last week.

Never did run across his middle name; only initial A.

Hope this will be of some help to you. Floyd

Notes:

Lucy Ann Brassfield, daughter of Othnal Minter Brassfield was born about 1842 in Grundy County MO.

She married Alexander Usher in 1855 in Wright County IA.

She married James Hartley Lamson in about 1865 and was living in MN and IA. She crossed the plains in 1877 to Umatilla County OR.

In 1879 she married Thomas Ryan in Walla Walla WA. Her daughter Cora lived in Weston OR and married John W. Brassfield in 1885.

Lucy disappeared around 1900, cannot be found on the 1900 or 1910 census. She sold property in 1900 and in 1904, still signing her name as Lucy Ryan.

I'm hoping someone has some information about this lady who is my great grandmother.

Thanks,
John Brassfield
