Possible brother and grandfather, "Tithe List 1749 same county, shows MOSES BRUMFIELD listed in or with the household of Captain John Watson, (Jr.) who perhaps was his grandfather.
Prior to 1746, neither the Brumfields nor the Watsons appeared on the Tithe Lists for Goochland County. Moses Brumfield continues to appear on the Tithe Lists with Captain John Watson's household through 1749. We had long considered Moses Brumfield to be our ancestor, but now feel that he and our ancestor (John) Watson Brumfield were brothers, perhaps grandsons of Captain John Watson, Jr.
Moses's will, dated 8-29-1758, shows his son Watson to be very young, too young to be the same (John) Watson Brumfield, father of our Revolutionary War ancestor, Charles Brumfield." John Watson Brumfield, extracted from Brumfield Histories, by Albert Ray Brumfield and Dell Magee Clawson[3]

One of the Brumfield Profile managers is going to be at a conference over the weekend where her will see quite a few of our distant Brumfield cousins. He will be sharing WikiTree with them, so I am doing a little work to make some of our profiles a little easier to read.
