On December 1, 1932, Ben Brooks, believed to be a son-in-law of Creed Taylor Pasley, filed an application with the United States War Department for a headstone to place on the previously unmarked grave of Confederate veteran Creed T. Pasley, who had served in Company D 2nd Virginia Cavalry C.S.A. and who much later had died April 13, 1914. In his application, Brooks promised that, if the War Department would at government expense furnish and deliver the headstone to the rail station nearest the burial site, he [Ben Brooks] would properly place it on the grave of Creed T. Pasley situated in "the Pasley family cemetery."

"The Pasley family cemetery" as used in the application must have been referring to a wooded area on what came to be known as "the Hamilton property" Franklin County, Virginia. [Virginia Cleveland (Pasley) Hamilton (5 February 1896 - 1 April 1974) granddaughter of John Pasley, daughter of Lee Marion Pasley, and niece of Creed T. Pasley, did something rare in the Pasley migration story -- she did a reverse migration -- moving from Callaway County, Missouri to ultimately living in Franklin County, Virginia, where she and her husband Ray Showalter Hamilton (6 March 1898 - 6 November 1978) owned and resided on the property, which includes Creed T. Pasley's burial site.]

[There are at least seven marked graves in this location all of which seem to have a connection to Creed T. Pasley's father John Pasley. Hence, the label "(John) Pasley Grave Site" is being applied to the area.]

Creed Taylor Pasley married his first wife Elizabeth A. "Bettie" (Byrd) Pasley (1 February 1851 - 16 March 1883)on 10 September 1874. They had four children: James Taylor "Tay" Pasley (4 July 1875 - 12 April 1932), Rosa May Pasley) Brooks(19 January 1877 - 24 November 1954), Cora Lee (Pasley) Sanders (17 July 1879 - 2 December 1951) and John Wes Pasley (26 February 1881 - 10 April 1958). Of these four children, only Rosa remained in Franklin County, Virginia. With assistance from their Uncle John Wes "J.W." Pasley (11 April 1836 - 13 December 1901)living in Callaway County,Missouri,the other three were part of the Pasley migration from Franklin County, Virginia to Callaway County, Missouri.

Each of the six children Creed Taylor Pasley had with his second wife Alberta "Bertie" (Kelly) Pasley (18 October 1866 - 28 November 1943) [who he married on 23 December 1886] remained either in or near to Franklin County, Virginia. They were: Daniel Rufus Pasley (29 October 1888 -29 April 1944), Grover Cleveland Pasley (16 February 1891 -killed in action World War I 15 July 1918), Clyde Tipton Pasley (21 April 1893 - 9 June 1970), Mary Fannie (Pasley) Martin (31 August 1895 - 30 July 1971), Blanche (Pasley) Brown (March 1898 - 1982), and Irl Pasley (3 May 1900 - 19 April 1985).

In addition to farming, C. T. and Bettie Pasley owned and operated a store in northeastern Franklin County, Virginia.
