Brumfield 12; Evermont Brumfield 8; Nancy Brumfield 7; Rachel Brumfield 5; Susan Brumfield 4; Sampson Brumfield, possibly Sampson S. Brumfield 2.
The 1860 census for Logan County, Virginia lists: Paris Brumfield 22 farmer; Ann Brumfield 21; and Allen Brumfield, one month.
From Henry Clay Ragland’s History of Logan County: “Early in the [nineteenth] century, probably in the year one or two, John Brumfield settled at the mouth of Ugly (now in Lincoln County). He was the father of a large family, and among his sons are Evermont, William, Wirt, Sampson, Jack, Allen, and Paris, from whom have sprung the numerous Brumfield family of Lincoln, Logan and Wayne.”
“Moses Brown settled near the mouth of Harts Creek about the same time. He was from Tazewell County, and his wife was a Miss Gillaspie. He had several sons and daughters. One of his daughters married the late Paris Brumfield.”
“James Toney, the brother-in-law of Brown, settled near him, but the writer knows nothing of his family.”
