My captain and more than half of my company were killed in this action.
I was promoted to the rank of captain.
I died years later in a skirmish with the Indians outside Augusta, Georgia.
I left three surviving daughters.
My name was John Brownfield.
Lineage of Robert Brownfield of Virginia
-
This lineage is based on the meticulous and detailed work of descendant Dr. R. L. Guffin, Jr. of Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Florida resident Jean Maurer and I have added our knowledge and research to the later generations of Shields and Harper, but the Brownfield work is entirely Dr. Guffin's. It was presented in two issues of Gleanings: Brownfield Gleanings, volume 6, issue 4, March 1985; and volume 14, issue 2, September 1992. This work is quoted extensively in the following lineage, but please remember it is copyright (c) Dr. R. L. Guffin, Jr. Those of you who appreciate this kind of work, please take a moment to send Dr. Guffin a note of thanks. Also note that the actual issues of Brownfield Gleanings contain much more information including copies of primary source documents, and they are well worth tracking down and studying.
My thanks to Dr. Guffin for allowing me to use this material here.
