I have hit this brick wall a number of times on this line, but I need to solve this soon and am looking for help. I will pay $100.00 to the first person who can provide documentation on the surname of the spouse of Ephraim Brooks of Lenawee County, Michigan. I have placed here some basic information, but will provide additional details to anyone willing to take on this project. Based on my previous research, Orillia/Orilla/Aurilla was born in Massachusetts on 4 February 1800. Neither Ephraim or Orilla's wills provide any details to her maiden name or any siblings, nieces or nephews.
FOLLOWING IS THE BASIC DETAILS THAT I HAVE:
1. EPHRAIM3 BROOKS (ASA2, JOHN1) was born 05 Apr 1797 in Onondaga, Onondaga County, New York (Source: DATE BASED ON CEMETERY INFORMATION.), and died 29 May 1863 in Lenawee County, Michigan. He married ORILLA/AURILLA ??? about 1819 or 1820 in Genesee County, New York. She was born 04 Feb 1800 in Massachusetts, and died 17 Feb 1873 in Lenawee County, Michigan.
