Charles Brownfield, the son of Robert Sr. (1730's-1821), lived near
Smithfield and had many sons, including Alexander Brownfield (the
ancestor of Mary and Winifred Woodfill) and Zadoc Brownfield, the
ancestor of many of the Brownfields that have lived in Brownfield Hollow
above Haydentown (including Ash Brownfield and his family).
From the Book, "250 years of the history of one branch of the Brownfield
family of Fayette Co., PA"
by Todd Alan Brownfield, 1990
Michael Brownfield has Charles as the son of Charles and Elizabeth Bird
Brownfield, not their grandson, but this makes little sense in terms of the time
frame or names involved. Michael does not name this Charles Jr or the II, but
names his son as Charles Jr. So I do not accept his lineage.

---------------------
I was just in the small Robert Brownfield, Sr. and Eleanor Sutton Family Cemetery in Smithfield, Fayette Co., Pa (off Main Street or Route 119) a week or so ago. It is in surprisingly good shape. Robert Jr. and Mary Bowell's stones are there and barely readable. Also, Charles Brownfield and Ruth Bowell's sons Zadoc (b.1798) and Alexander (b. 1796) and their wive's stones are still visible, as well as a number of grandchildren, etc. The place is kept mowed and there were even flags and veteran's markers on the veteran's graves.
