Research Notes

This is a duplicate of Jones-42446, with disputed middle name Ellender and last name of Roberts. The middle name of Ellender, not documented on any other source. The last name of Roberts not proven, and (as of yet) not sourced.

Disputed Last Name

This existing profile was based on generated trees stating Elizabeth's last name was Roberts. These claims based on a story of a Civil War application for pension benefits by husband John Brassfield-137 researched years ago, and presented only in story form. The original source verifying her last name as Roberts has never been published. It can not be found in Civil War pension records or applications.

Disputed Story

Speculated story; by Evelyn Flood, 2001, clarified by Simona Wheeler MacAngus, Jan 2021.

Simona's Notes - "Evelyn Flood has John's Civil War paper. Elizabeth applied for pension 13 Apr 1869 in Johnson, Arkansas. She married John Brassfield 22 Feb 1851, in Newton, Arkansas. She married as Elizabeth E. Roberts", Simona Wheeler MacAngus.

Speculated last name evolves around Elizabeth's husband John L. Brassfield's Civil War pension. The original Civil War Pension application this information comes from has been found or published. Not be found in Civil War "Widow" pensions or applications for John L. Brassfield or alternate name John L. Brasfael. The only source found is Civil War Pension Index, which gives does not give these details. See John L. Brassfield-137 for link to Civil War records, in sources. He was known under alternate name John L. Brasfael, both combined unto one record.

Added Civil War Pension Index source. The Pension Index source lists Elizabeth name as Elizabeth E. Brassfield, not as Roberts. If you can help prove these claims with the original sourced application, please do contribute.
