In July, 2010 I had the opportunity to attend the Caston-Brumfield
family reunion in Atlanta, Georgia. At that reunion, another branch and
connection was identified to me. I had an opportunity to meet fellow genealogist and family historians Roger Wilson and Belinda “Gail” Howard. They have been doing reseach on the Caston and Brumfield families.
From the information presented by Roger, Louis Brumfield and Liddie were married and
had the following children : Richard
Brumfield, Frank Brumfield, Irving
Brumfield, Tom Brumfield, Eliza Brumfield, Rosann Brumfield and Isham
Brumfield. It is not known what happen to
Louis Brumfield.
Liddie latter married Calvin Caston. In the 1900 Federal census they
are listed as married for 28 years with
a calculated marriage date of 1872. They had a second set of children: Green Caston, Silas Caston , Jesse Caston, Adline Caston and Monroe Caston.
It is documented that Irvin
Brumfield Sr. knew Calvin Caston because he verified residence of Irvin (Ervine) Brumfield’s homestead
application. According to the 1900 Federal census, the birth date of Irvin
Brumfield Sr. is 1854 and for Liddie Brumfield is December, 1825 . It is
possible that she could be his mother.
