General Notes: Husband - Basil Brownfield


He settled on the old Gaddis place in 1820, and lived there until his death.

An obituary notice of Basil Brownfield, published at the time of his death, contained the following: "Mr. Brownfield was born near Smithfield, this county, in 1795. His ancestors came here from Apple-pie Ridge, Shenandoah Valley, Va. He was a man of strong will and aggressive disposition, as the result of which he was well known, and had acquired a large amount of valuable estate. His connections by blood and marriage are very extensive. He leaves four sons and four daughters living, two of these being in Texas, one of the latter being Mrs. William Core. Mr. Brownfield's wife was Sarah Collins, daughter of Joseph Collins, one of the original settlers of Uniontown."
