Find A Grave can yield valuable information about our ancestors. Sometimes only
information from the tombstone is available but occasionally there are facts
about other family members with birth, marriage and death dates. You’ll want to
verify those facts but they give you a place to begin.
Recently
I was searching for my 3x great grand uncle, Jesse Kelly Brumfield (1807 –
1884), son of John & Margaret (Kelly) Brumfield at Find A Grave. I found
him at Brumfield Cemetery, Pike County, Mississippi. The cemetery has a large
plaque with information about Jesse, his wife and their children. It says:

The

Moore. Thanks goes out to them for the plaque! Thanks also to Connie G Lozier
who added the photograph of the plaque to the website! Thanks to Find A Grave! This was a great find.
What a gift!
