It has been my attempt in research to try to find evidence that identifies the Brumfield children of Liddie Brumfield Caston. Prior to November, 1912 in Mississippi, there were no death or birth certificates registered with the state. Many of the ancestors also could not read or write. I have not been able to locate a family bible which may have vital records. I suspect that a bible of this type may not exist. Some of Liddie's children had the good fortune of long lives such as Tom and Richard Brumfield and death certificates have been located.
I have been unable to establish a maternal relationship between Liddie and Ervin (Irvin) Brumfield. I however been able authenticate that Ervin (Irvin) Brumfield definitely knew Calvin Caston. In my blog post "Ervin, Irvine, Irving, Irvin Part Two" published in November 21, 2012, I mentioned that Calvin Caston signed the homestead affidavit for Irvine Brumfield

Henry Conerly and Calvin Caston stated that they knew Ervin Brumfield for 7 years past which would have been 1870. His settlement was established September 1, 1870. Ervin had a wife and four children in 1877. Ervin is thought to have been born in 1846 according to the 1900 Federal Census. In 1870, Ervin would have been 24 years old.
