Mavis Brooks, married to Minton Thrift - lived in Petersburg, VA
The following message was posted by Deborah Mealey on a Petersburg, VA querie board in 1999:
"BROOKS, ADAMS, THRIFT - Looking for information about Mavis BROOKS, born abt 1770-78 in ? Va. She married a Baptist Preacher named Thrift or Thriff. Lived in Petersburg Va. for many years. Mavis was the daughter of John BROOKS and Sarah ADAMS. Brothers William, Christopher and John. Any Help appreciated. Thank you."
Mavis Brooks was the sister of my great-great grandfather John Brooks. Minton and Mavis Brooks Thrift are both buried on John Brooks' square in Blandford Cemetery in Petersburg, VA. Minton Thrift was a Methodist - not Baptist - minister in Petersburg for many years.
If anyone has any information about the Brooks, Adams or Thrift families, I would love for them to contact me or post onthis board.
