Kathy,
I don't have a date as to when David morefield was born. The only information that I have so far is that he was older than my great-grandmother Sarah Morefield when he married her in the early 19-teens. This is becasue my great-grandmother had her first baby in 1917, and she was born in 1900,( my great-grandmother). I was told that he was older than she was and that he took a liking to her when he used to help Sarahs father, Ephriam Smith in the tobacco fields. I was told that he was married before he married Sarah so this my be the David Morefield. I will have to ask and find out if anybody knows who his first wife was. No I don't know if this helps but I was told that he had ties to Amelia County, VA. where the Morefield Mine is located. This may be where his mothers people were from. This is still a question. And Mickey, his mother, now that may be her nick name, what her real name was is the 64k question. I will get back to you with any more information, because maybe you are on to something.
Thank You,
Darryl
