My BRASSFIELD connection is as follows..
Me, Judy TRAMMELL Smith
My father, Henry Claymon TRAMMELL
G-father, Henry Livingston TRAMMELL
G-G-grandfather, George Ira TRAMMELL
GGG grandfather, Samuel L. (could this actually be "Ell" TRAMMELL?
Samuel L or "Ell" m. Mary Ozella MICKLEBOROUGH/MICKLEBERRY..Mary was d/o Mark Henry MICKLEBOROUGH and Jane Chamblin ADAMS..Jane was d/o Caleb Brassfield ADAMS and Caleb was s/o Betsy BRASSFIELD and Gen. David ADAMS...

Thanks, Judy TRAMMELL Smith jdsmith@pdq.net

******************************

GENERAL DAVID ADAMS. --- A paper of the day says: - "This gentleman was born at the Waxaws, in South Carolina, on the 28th of January, 1766. He served a campaign in the latter part of the Revolution, in the lower portion of South Carolina, under General Henderson, against the British and Tories. After the successful termination of that war, his father removed, and settled on Shoulder Bone Creek, in the State of Georgia. The Creek Indians, at the time, were a powerful nation of savages; a war of extermination existed between them and the white settlers of the frontiers of this State. The attacks of the Creeks were so frequent, being often marked by the extinction of whole families, that the inhabitants of every neighbourhood were compelled to build and live in forts. The younger Adams now came forward in defence of his country, with a zeal that gained the confidence of his fellow citizens; he was elected a major of the militia, and was engaged in the arduous duties of a scout for ten years"

"Major Adams was elected Brigadier-General by the Legislature of Georgia, and subsequently a Major-General. He was appointed to the command of an expedition in the war against the towns on the Tallapoosa River, by the Governor. Having commenced his march with about three hundred volunteers to the above-mentioned towns, General Floyd, being then in the lower part of the nation, with the army under his command, hearing of the expedition under General Adams, and knowing that the savages had evacuated their towns, and embodied in the Horse Shoe, and consequently were too strong for such a force as that commanded by General A., detached a troop of horses to intercept him and turn him back; unfortunately he was too far advanced, and the troop could not overtake him. On arriving at the town opposite, or a little above the bend distinguished by the name of the Horse Shoe, he found it deserted by the Indians, who had retired within their fortifications in the Horse Shoe, out of which they marched up and paraded in considerable numbers, on the opposite side of the river, and fired upon the volunteers in the town, with little or not effect, having slightly wounded one man. It was found impracticable to cross the river, it being very much swollen by the recent rains; and, indeed, it was highly necessary to commence a retreat. Having burnt the village, and destroyed the provisions which the Indians had not removed to their fortifications within the bend of the river, he retired a short distance and encamped for the night. The cunning savages were prowling about his encampment, endeavouring, no doubt, to ascertain the number of the volunteers. They were frequently fired upon by the sentinels. General Adams wisely suffered no fire to be kindled during the night, which was remarkably cold. To this circumstance, and his judicious manouvres, by which he concealed the strength of his detachment, may be attributed his not being attacked and defeated by the powerful force of the savages then in his immediate neighbourhood.

"General Adams held various appointments under the State Government, all of which he discharged with fidelity and ability. He was a Commissioner on the part of the State, when the lands lying between the Ocmulgee and Flint Rivers were obtained. He was always a favourite with his fellow citizens, as a distinguished member of the Legislature for upwards of twenty-five years, and was often Speaker of the House of Representatives."

****************************
The grave of David Adams b 1766 in SC and died in 1834 and is buried in
Jasper County, Ga. was found recently by horseback riders and they plan
to do something about this grave site. David is the brother of Mary
Adams who married Seth Kennedy in Hancock County and this is our family
line. Since David was a RS but does not have a DAR marker, some DAR and
SAR people are trying to get involved to get this grave properly marked.
It is on property that is now owned by the State of Ga. There is a
family marker I understand. Since I am not a horseback rider and 78
years of age it may be sometime before I get to see this grave. Would
like to hear from you if you have any connections and are interested.

Michael,
Early this morning while turkey hunting I took a close look at an old tombstome I found. Way-way-way back in the woods outside of Monticello,GA in Jasper County.
Surprisingly I could read most of the stone & it had a lot of info. General David Adams from S.Carolina had lived for 69 years & died October 19, 1834. It also had info about his family, but I don't remember it all.
I found this interesting so I searched the web & located your info. Do you know anything else about David Adams, or how I might could find out more? Thanks in advance
Kevin Sentell 		ADAMS David A.
 
11 Possibly:

Robert Henry Addkison (4/9/1852 - Kosciusko, Attala, Mississipp) who married Lucy Jane Leitaker on 11/18/1874 in Madison Mississippi. Robert Henry Addkison was possibly son of Andrew Jackson Addkison (4/26/1836 - Attala, Mississippi) and Mary Elizabeth Bain.

Also show an Andrew Addkison marrying Mary Elizabeth Bain on 5/3/1835 in Attala, Mississippi.

I am the great-grandaughter of Mary Lily Addkison Campbell Carlson.

Huntsville, AR USA - Thursday, December 20, 2001

Michael: I believe Charles Brasfield was her nephew. I saw the reference to either Robert or Andrew Addkison in the site, and she is from that family. I have the "Addkison" book that Charles Brasfield put out in the 60's or 70's and have a couple pictures of him and his wife with my Great-grandmother when they visited her in St. Louis. Are you related to the Charles Brasfield that published the Addkison book?

15 Mike,
I have a little info on this family unfornately, I do not know what girl married a Brassfield, George and Henrietta had 6 children 2 girls and 4 boys. Nellie married Garnett Lowe. So maybe that leaves the other daughter Maudie and she was born 1894. and of course I looked for Jesse Brassfield his wife was Maude E. They were living in Kirksville, Adair Co., Missouri. So I am assuming this is her. Here goes with what info I have. Maude's sibling were Freddie, Ola, Charlie b.July 1890, Clyde b. nov. 1898. Her Parents George b. May 1870 d. Dec. 20, 1926. Henrietta Pope b. 05/19/1872 in Schuyler Co., Mo. d. 12/01/1945 in Kirksville, Adair Co., Missouri. Her parents were William Brady Pope b. abt. 1849 in Indiana. June 19, 1871 in Scotland Co., Missouri He married Charlotte Elston b. abt. 1856 in Illinois. I believer her father to be Andrew Elston or one of his sons kids, I have no proof of him being her Father. Henrietta had two brothers and three sisters. Daniel (no info), Catherine (I have info somewhere), Mamie married a ? Fergie, They were in Quincy, Illinois I contacted the grandson and he gave me the number to his daughter, I called and left messages and no returned calls. Last but not least is Andrew Pope (my line). he was born 02/07/1874 and died 07/22/1941. in Kirksville, Missouri He is buried in Bear Creek Cemetery. He married Edna Bell Schupp/Shoop b. 12/04/1881 in Novinger , Adair Co., Mo. and died 06/05/1947 in Hurdland, Mo. they had five children Jenny m. Clyde Potter, Beddie ? Earl, Pansy (mine Line married John Stewart)., Stella Beatrice m. an Anscomb and a Claybrook and Alfred married Velma Stewart. Andrew was married once before I forgot to a ? McFarland they had one child Ella Lucille She married a Smith and also a Clifton. So. , I am assuming I have finally found a cousin. My father didn't know a whole lot about his side of the family this is how I got started he wanted to know. We moved from Missouri when I was younger and moved back and forth several times and landed back in Quincy, Illinois. I now live in Golden, Illinois. I went to school with a Mike and Peggy and a Pam. Peggy was my sister's age. So where do you live and do you have any info on this family? I can go back further on the Pope side if u don't have the info. Well I hope this helped please let me know if this sounds right or is not correct.
Thank you for responding to my E-mail.
Possible cousins,]

*************************
J.C. Archer, a soldier of the 16th Alabama regiment, came to Hood county in 1872, having settled in the state in 1869. He at once entered upon a career as teacher, which occupation he continuously followed for 20 years, thus serving in the public schools longer perhaps, than any teacher ever connected therewith. His first school was taught in a mere hut, with dirt floor, on Squaw creek. In 1874 he married Miss Nancy E. Arrington, daughter of J.E. Arrington, and thereafter taught school in the Arrington neighborhood so long that the house is called the Archer schoolhouse. He also has engaged in farming and stock raising on a small scale, and having by close application and economy acquired a competency, moved to Granbury for the benefit of its schools to his children. 		ARCHER J.

22 Vendovi Island (San Juans) - According to LeWarne, two followers of FATHER DIVINE, Henry Joerns and Ross Humble, obtained a permit for the use of Vendovi as a Peace Mission extension in the early thirties. By 1930, New Thought groups had sprung up on the Pacific coast. The dynamic, Canadian-born evangelist, Aimee Semple McPherson, had established her 5000-seat Angelus Temple in Los Angeles in 1923. In this climate, there were many lesser known practitioners of the new Gospel of JESUS CHRIST on the west coast, one of whom was Henry Joerns, of the Absolute Science Center, who held classes and sermonized on metaphysics.
**********************
Father Devine (c.1875-1965), American Negro religious cult leader. He was born George Baker near Savannah, Ga., and began preaching in the South about 1900. About 1915 he moved to New York, where he founded his Peace Mission Movement and later adopted the name Father Devine.

The movement's salient features included: (1) the worship of Devine as God incarnate; (2) communal living--through cooperative labor without pay and the surrender of their possessions, members enabled Devine to provide them with food and shelter at little cost, thus strengthening their faith in his miraculous powers; (3) vows of the strictest morality, celibacy, and charity--members were enjoined to make restitution for past sins, and remarkable acts of pennance were reported; and (4) the observance of racial equality.

The movement's first communal dwelling, or "Heaven," was in Sayville, NY. Although Devine was forced to move to the Harlem section of New York and later to Philadelphia, his movement grew rapidly. At it's height there were 178 "Heavens," most of them in New York City and Philadelphia. There are no figures on the membership, but it probably ran into the tens of thousands. It subsequently declined, especially after Devine's death--which was a great disillusionment to his followers--in Lower Merion Township, PA., on Sept. 10, 1965.

In 1965, Mr. Ball and his family moved to Starkville where he operated the Ford tractor and New Holland equipment dealership on Mississippi Highway 12 as Starkville Tractor and Equipment Co., until retirement in 1997. A member of Future Farmers of America, he was awarded a lifetime achievement award at the Mississippi conference in 1987 for his support of the organization and its membership.

He was a Mason and was honored with the 50-year pin. Mr. Ball was a member of Starkville Baptist Church, where he had served as a deacon. He had served in a similar capacity in other churches where he was a member before moving to Starkville.

He was active in community affairs, having been a member of several civic groups and the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Ball was in a leadership position in Chamber community improvement and beautification efforts numerous times during the 1970s. He also helped Chamber efforts to improve transportation links to and inside the city.

Mr. Ball was the first Republican to win election to Starkville municipal government where he was elected alderman at-large in 1973. Board members then selected him as Vice Mayor of the city. He was also an executive committee member and Director of the Golden Triangle Planning and Development District.

He was active in national and state politics, having served in local campaign positions for many candidates and on the Starkville and Oktibbeha County Republican Executive Committee. Mr. Ball was a member of the Republicans delegation from Mississippi to the GOP national convention that nominated President Gerald R. Ford over Ronald Reagan.

He was also worked with local, regional and state officials to secure training and equipment programs for health care professionals and emergency responders.

Before coming to Starkville in 1965, Mr. Ball was in national sales for two heavy equipment companies and had lived in Houston, Texas, New Orleans, LA, Memphis, Tenn., Lubbock, Texas, and Dallas, Texas. In the early 1950s, he owned and operated a cafe/gas station in Houston, MS with his wife, the late Juanita Jones Ball. During his days in Houston, he was most proud of his work with community and government leaders to improve the appearance of the Chickasaw County Courthouse Square.

During World War II, he worked in the Consolidated Aircraft installation in New Orleans during the day and was a member of the U.S. Coast Guard Reserve doing shore patrol at night. Prior to World War II, he was involved in heavy construction and had worked on the Enid and Sardis dams in North Mississippi. Mr. Ball also worked on railroad construction and rehabilitation projects in Mississippi and the Mid-West.

Mr. Ball was a 1938 graduate of Pontotoc (Miss.) High School.

Rackley of Starkville, Amy Lou Brasfield of Granite City, Ill, and Nell Finne of Gulfport; sisters-in-law, Modean Ball of Memphis, Paulette B. Reece of Pontotoc, and Elizabeth Ball of Waco, Texas; two brothers, Lawrence Ball of Irving, Texas and Howard Ball of Pontotoc; three grandchildren, Bill Ball of Jackson, Charles Perry Ball, III, and Betsy Moon Ball, both of Starkville; and one great-grandchild, Conner Beth Ball of Jackson.

This is one of 17 pages which list over 5,000 deceased Members of the National Society Magna Charta Dames and Somerset Chapter Magna Charta Barons. Please refer to the Deceased Members Listing Home Page for the other pages.

In the case of relatives generally the descent would be established from a common ancestor.

By way of explanation, the Society has listed a member as deceased when actual notice has been received or who was listed on the Society records as deceased in 1989. We apologize for any errors which might have inadvertently been made. Please inform us of any individuals on this list who might be alive. We hope that the information will be submitted for each person on a separate note card or a separate sheet of paper. It should be mailed to the Society's office at the address on the home page.

36 Oh, yes. OK here's some. Solomon was the oldest and Alfred the you8ngest. Which from my point of view was good as the four older brothers served in the Civil War and two were killed. Alfred was too young to go.
E160. BATTIN, Alfred (John, Richard, Richard, Richard, John).

Alfred was born Feb. 10, 1850 in Boone Co. IN and was the only son of this family too young to enlist for Civil War service. He married first Dec. 24, 1873 in Wabasha, Wabasha Co. MN, Mary Elizabeth Benedict, born Sept. 8, 1852 in CT, daughter of James Knox Benedict and Phoebe Ann Pond, both descendents of old colonial families. They had arrived in MN in 1856. This couple were 7th Day Adventists and had:

E415.Greta Madelein born in St. Paul, Ramsey Co. MN

Nov. 6, 1878. I cannot confirm her birth for the

birth records for that year have been lost. She

is found in Grafton, Sibley Co. MN with her

parents in 1880. She married in Steele Co. MN

Fred O. Baker, born Feb. 11, 1875, son of George

Washington Baker and Rosetta Ann Champlin also

descendents of old colonial families. They had:

Merrill Frank who married first Florence

Holmberg, second Blanche Holmberg

Coleman, and third Della Davis

Sheffield;

Lynn Everett who married first Mary _____,

second Florence Smith;

Glenn Elton single;

Dorothy Claire who married Wilbur David

Roberts.

Greta died in Miami, Dade Co. FL Jan. 28, 1950

and Fred died there Dec. 1, 1954. They are buried there as is Glenn Elton.

E416.Jay Knox

Mary died in childbirth with this last child in Wabasha Mar. 27, 1885 and according to Greta, was buried in the cemetery at Reed's Landing where the Benedict family is buried. I find no stone, she is not included in the cemetery records, and there is no death record in Wabasha Co. Yet, Greta was my grandmother and told my mother these facts. She was old enough to attend the funeral and was certain about the cemetery. I am inclined to take her word for it but wonder at the lack of documentation.

Alfred married second Ida Douglass, daughter of Frederick Douglass and Abigail Louise Carpenter. It is my understanding that they were married in SD where they had gone separately to homestead. They had:

E417.Viola Ora born July 8, 1889 in Kingsbury, SD who

married William Cecil Gates Jan. 7, 1917 and had:

Dorothy Priscilla Mar. 8, 1922 married

Harold Kisling;

Harold Norman Oct. 1, 1926 married DeltaLee

McIntyre.

Viola died Oct. 15, 1954 at Terra Bella, CA

Alfred and Ida returned to Medford, Steele Co. MN and farmed in that area. Ida died Aug. 26, 1910 in Medford only a block from the house in which she was born. She was buried in Medford Union Cemetery there. She was survived by Alfred, Greta, Jay K., Viola, Fernando Douglass and Nettie Douglass. The last two were brother and sister.

Alfred went to CA and died July 23, 1911 at St. Helena. The notice of his death in the 7th Day Adventist newspaper gives his birthdate as Feb. 10, 1849 in IN. Services were at the 7th Day church in St. Helena.

44 In your Brasfield ~ Brassfield Genealogies the parents of Leta Benn (wife of Raymond Aaron Brasfield) are listed as Edward Benn and Martha Redmond. My information is that her parents were Samuel Benn (the founder of Aberdeen, Washington) and Martha Redman, a daughter of Rueben Redman who was an early settler in the Grays Harbor area.

'The first classes for Aberdeen's school children were held in a
pioneer home. Mary Benn, Samuel's daughter, in 1889 told the Pioneer
Association of her experiences... "our first school teacher taught at
the Judson Scammon house. We walked through a trail in the thick
woods to reach school, and as there were so many wild animals at that
time, father told us always to keep together so that the cougars or
other prowling forest dwellers wouldn't harm us. There were not
enough children in the whole county to pay a teacher for a full term's
work and father used to make up out of his own pocket the delinquent
amount." '
It is likely that Mary moved to Bend earlier than 1935. 		BENN Mary Frances

Going to California to find out what happend to two missing brothers
who were working the goldfields, Sam left New York City aboard the
steamer 'Northern Light' on 5 March 1856 bound for Panama. At Colon
he crossed the isthmus by rail to Balboa. There he boarded the paddle
wheeler 'Sonora' for California, arriving on the 26th of March. When
Sam arrived where his brothers had been mining, he discovered they had
drowned in the Feather River. The river was flooding but they had
gone into town for supplies, but their boat capsized while returning
to camp. In April 1859 Sam and a cousin, George Hubbard, sailed from
California to Victoria, Canada. There they bought a sailboat and
sailed Puget Sound for a month looking for a place to settle. When
they stopped in Olympia they heard of the Chehalis valley and
travelled overland to scout the area. Liking what they found they
returned to Olympia for their boat and supplies needed to settle,
arriving back at their homesteads on June 15, 1859. Sam chose the
south bank while George picked the north bank of the Chehalis. At the
site of the present (1935) Wishkah bridge, Sam founded his first home
on Garys Harbor. Aberdeen, Washington was the town Sam founded. To
help bring the railroad to his town, Sam gave land to any man
providing 5 days labor building the rail line. Land was also given to
anyone who paid for the 5 days labor.
According to his death certificate, Sam died of senility. This
doesn't agree with what Sam's surviving family recalled about him and
what was written in his obituaries printed in the Aberdeen newspapers.
He was noted for having a sharp mind. The headline of 'The Aberdeen
Daily World' (17 Sept. 1935 front page) reads "BENN DEAD; SORROW GRIPS
HARBOR, Father Of Aberdeen Expires Peacefully, Mind Clear To Last"
The obituaries refer to a recent illness (of several months) that
wasn't specified.
The funeral services, officiated by Wm. McDowell, Russel Mack and Rev.
Sylvester Robertson, were held at 2 pm in the First Congregational
church, First and H streets in Aberdeen. Governor Clarence D. Martin
and other state officals came from Olympia to attend the funeral. The
services were broadcast on KXRO radio "to permit those who through
illness or the size of the crowd cannot be present inside the church"
- 'Grays Harbor Washingtonian'. A front page article in the same
paper reported 'City offices, stores and other business places of
Aberdeen will be closed Thursday afternoon from 1:30 to 3:30 o'clock
as a final salute to Aberdeen's "grand old man." '
This year is from the information on his death certificate provided by
his daughter, Leta Benn Brasfield. According to the book "The River
Pioneers", Sam immigrated as an infant which could have been 10+ years
earlier. This earlier date agrees with an article in 'The Daily
World' (Aberdeen, WA; Sunday July 4, 1976; page A-9 column 4).
However one of his obituaries says 'although he left there (Emo,
Queens county, Ireland) as a small boy he could recall the place quite
well, even in his last days.'
Sam renounced his allegiance to the Queen United Kingdom of Great
Britain & Ireland. The witness was William Kingsley (Sam's mother's
maiden name). Sam apparently kept his Irish birth a secret from the
other residents of Aberdeen, except his family who knew. He did show
his naturalization papers to Victor Lindberg, the Aberdeen city
comptroller, who kept his secret joke until Sam's death.
Sam still earned a living as a carpenter. Being sheriff didn't pay
well and took too much time, so Sam didn't keep the job for many
years (The Pacific Coast Directory, 1867 lists Samuel Benn as Chehalis County Sheriff in Montesano, Chehalis, Washington Territory).
Sam was also a volunteer fireman with the Brooklyn Fire Department.
Mayors in Aberdeen serve 1 year terms.
Sam received a telegram from President Herbert Hoover, "Felicitations
and God's continued blessing to Aberdeen's beloved pioneer father from
a grateful nation on the occasion of the centennial of his birth." 		BENN Samuel
 
48 I just found your info and Ancestry.com and your website. I was wondering if you have anymore information on Eugene Brassfield (1913-2000) that married Cassie Bennett. I just received Cassie's obit in the mail and was looking for more information on Eugene. Cassie's mother was Mary Henderson, a half-sister to my mother-in-law. I have just recently found this line and am trying to find any one that is connected to this family that might give more information. In Cassie's obit, it said that she was survived by her husband, a sister Ella Ludwig of Ann Arbor, MI, a nephew Clarence Partien of Plymouth, MI, and a niece Helen Waler of Cincinniati, OH. From the information that I received, Cassie's death may have been suicide. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated.
