Frank Brumfield has been identified as a child of Liddie
Brumfield Caston by the late Rodger Dale Wilson in 2007. No documentation of
the relationship has been located at this time. Frank
Brumfield born before 1870 is not enumerated in the Federal or state census
as a child of Liddie.
I have identified three individuals who might be a child of
Liddie. There is the possibility of a fourth unidentified person.

Assumptions that have been identified concerning
Richard, Irvin, Tom, and Frank Brumfield:
1. They all are brothers and have the same mother Liddie and
father Louis.
2. The brothers have the same maternal autosomal DNA.
3. The brothers lived in the same geographic area for most of
their lives.
4. Genealogy research of Frank Brumfield and his family tree is available and accurate.
5. All the brothers had descendant of children.
6. Results of most of the brothers' descendants' DNA are
available.
I have not been able to definitely find Frank Brumfield son of
Liddie at this time. I will continue using the genealogist toolbox I have developed
for research. I will also continue to look for more tools.
