Connecting the Brooks
I have Benjamin Franklin Brooks m. Priscilla Sawyer and I am trying to connect his family with other Brooks in the Monroe, Conecuh, Skinnerton, and Midway areas in Alabama.
One source gives John Sawyer Brooks m. Rebecca Mitchell;
Samuel who married Lucy Amanda Mitchell; and William who married Sarah as brothers to the above Benjamin Franklin.I think Benjamin might have been the eldest as we estimate his birth year as 1789, John was born 1796, but no proof
Another Brooks family is James Sawyer Brooks who married ann Knight and one of his sons was James Sawyer Brooks who married Mary Ann Driver.I have a photo of the family in Midway, Alabama but no other information on the rest of the family.
Can anyone help me connect these families.If I had the parents of Benjamin, John, Samuel and William that would greatly help. Even to know where to look would help. James Sawyer Brooks may have been a cousin.
I have found that Edgefield co., SC and Chatham Co., NC to be prominent places.
Benjamin and Priscilla were married in Baldwin co., Georgia.
Thanks for your help
