Portrait and Biographical Record of Marion, Ralls and Pike Counties, publ 1895, Revised edition with index publ 1982: "Harvey M. Bramblet, a farmer and stock-raiser, residing in Township 55, Range 4, was born in Ralls County, September 6, 1846. He is the oldest of ten children born to Thornton and Rebecca (Jeffries) Bramblet, of whom eight are still living, two having died in infancy.
Thornton Bramblet was born January 16, 1818, and was a native of Bourbon County, Ky., coming to Missouri with his parents when a boy and settling in Ralls County. Here he grew to manhood and reared his family, and still resides, his present home being some six miles south of Hannibal. He has followed farming since his boyhood days, but for the past six years has been living a retired life. His wife was a native of Tennessee, and was born about 1826, moving to Pike County, Mo., in her girlhood days. A short time previous to her marriage she moved to Ralls County. In early life she united with the Methodist Church, and was a devout member until her removal to her husband's present home, where she found no church of her denomination and united with the Baptist Church. Her death occurred in 1887.
The subject of this sketch grew to manhood under the parental roof and acquired his education of a district school. At the age of eighteen years he began to teach in the public schools, and for four years taught in different districts in this county, afterwards going to St. Charles County and becoming instructor in the schools of that county. During his residence in St. Charles County he became acquainted with Miss Lucy Keithley, and on December 26, 1871, they were united in marriage, and shortly after removed to Ralls County. Here he bought his present farm and settled down to farm life. He has two hundred acres of valuable land under a high state of cultivation. His wife is a daughter of Samuel Keithley, and was his twentieth child, her mother, Nancy Keithley, being his third wife. She was born in St. Charles County, February 12, 1850.
To Mr. and Mrs. Bramblet have been born four children, three of whom are living and are at home, namely: Eulah, Clara and Walter. Clara is now teaching in the public schools and is an accomplished musician. Walter is assisting in the cultivation of the home farm. Our subject is an affable and courteous man, and is a supporter of all worthy and charitable movements, which has won for him the esteem of his many friends and neighbors. In politics he is allied with the Democratic party, and in religion he is a Methodist."
