My gr-gr-gr-grandparents were Catherine Myers and John Brumfiel (Brumfield). John was born in Bracken Co. KY in 1806, a son of William Brumfield and wife. William Brumfield died in KY and his widow and children moved to Miamisburg, near Dayton OH where John Brumfield grew to manhood and where he married Catherine Myers, who was born in Virginia and who had moved to Miamisburg OH with her parents John and Catherine (Neff) Myers. About 1830 the Myers family moved over into IN and settled in the western part of Jackson township, Fayette County. Three years later John Brumfield and wife also came on to Fayette Co. IN and located on a farm adjoinng the Myers place and there both families spent the remmainder of their lives and are buried in the little family graveyard at the top of the bluff just soutth of the Brumfield home, where Mr. and Mrs. Harry are now living. John Brumfield had been trained to the trade of a wagonmaker in OH and for 5 or 6 years after coming to Fayette Co. followed that same vocation, after which he entered upon the life of an agriculturist and farmed for the rest of his life. He and hiw wife were the parents of 12 children, but six of whom grew to maturity, Henry, George, John and Susand dying of typhoid fever about 1856; another died of scarlet fever at age two years and a daughter, Amanda, died in girlhood. Of the other six, Sarah remained a spinster and lived to the age of 71, her death occuring April 1915. Of those who married, Daniel, Mrs. Mary Jane Elliott and Benjamin, deceased, there being but two survivors at the time of this printing of information, was my grandmother, Kathryn Neff Brown of Connersville and Alonzo Brumfield of Hancock Co. IN. Daniel Brumfield spent his life as a farmer on the farm in Jackson township where the Harrys are now living. He erected a handsome and substantial home and had a good farm and 131 acres there and another tract of good farm land at Mt. Zion. Fayette Co. IN.
