Was Mark Brooks the father of John Terrell Brooks?
Looking for the parents and siblings of John Terrell Brooks, born in 1816 in Missouri Territory. He married Mary Jane Evan's in 1842 in Perryville, Perry CO., MO. where her family are found. They moved to Louisiana where they raised their family and we have all their descendants, but need to find the correct connection to his ancestors.The only Brooks in Perry CO., in 1830 when John T. would've been abt 14, is a Mark Brooks, age range 60-70, a female 15-20, and 20-30, and a male, 10-14 which could be John.Family tradition believes this Brooks line were related to the Terrell's and the name is very prolific among descending generations, but we do not know who they were. We know that John Terrell Brook's mother was a Montgomery, believed to be Diana Montgomery, and John and Mary Brooks named their first son Mark, second son William, and third son, Perry Evan's Brooks after Mary Jane Evan's father, Perry Evan's. The first daughter was named Diana Montgomery after John's mother, and the second after Mary Jane's, Emily Perry. They named one son after John, John Terrell Brooks, and the next son after him, Henry Terrell Brooks. The Terrell/Brooks parentage would have to be the grandparents of John T. Brooks who I suspect was Samuel Brooks and Keziah Terrell. Samuel and Keziah had a son unaccounted for, Meedjiah Brooks, that I wonder if could be Mark Brooks, the suspected father of John T. Brooks. We have all the information of descendants of John Terrell Brooks, but need his ancestors. HELP!
