George Brasfield/Brasfeild arrived in Va in 1698 on 'Ye Loyalty', indentured for 11 years to a Bernard Gaines and believed born 1678-88 Cheshire. That would fit with Elias jnr so that would mean George married Elias' sister as he didn't go to Va with any other family member. Do you know anything about any sister of Elias ? The Brasfield/Brassfield family have searched for years for info on George's wife, and also his son George's wife - first name believed to be Elizabeth. The family assumed the court record referred to George jnr but that can't be unless there was a younger Elias. George jnr is believed to have had a brother Michael but nothing known about him. I will check on what exactly I have re records and email them to you. I do know that George snr bought land May 16 1721 near Peumansend Run, Essex County from Richard and Ann Carver. He was from King and Queen County at the time. My late husband was from Colorado but I'm British and living back in England now, still researching the family for my son. Best wishes Carol
