Irvin and Robert Brumfield
homesteaded 80 and 160 acres respectively in Pike County Mississippi. My mother
Irvin Brumfield’s granddaughter stated that Isham or possibly Isom Brumfield
was Irvin’s father. I have yet been unable to verify this information.
Subsequent research suggests that this information is incorrect. Isham
Brumfield (Broomfield/ Bromfield) however homestead 160.26 acres of
land in Walkers Bridge, Pike County, Mississippi beginning in
December 1870. At the time of his homestead, his family consisted of 3
children. The 1870 Federal Pike County census lists Isham Brumfield as 49
years old with 3 children Eli 14, Henrietta 18, and Hester 10. His
initial application was filed on March 6, 1873.
