THe Brooks family lived in Georgetown Tx early 1900's and than on to Fisher/Kent/Dickens counties of Texas.
Sons, Franklen, (1876), Edd (1880), Gray Daniel (1884),
Bruce (1885), and Steve (1888) were all born in Cocke Co Tenn., daughter Josie, was born in Missouri (1893)
Mary doesnt appear in the 1900 census...
Gray was my great-gr'father, he married Maud Briggs in Ellis Co.Texas, they lived in Goergetown Tx, where my granfather was born in 1904.
Josie married Henry Smith , they settled in Kent County.
Edd's family settled down in the hill country of Texas. Looking for any information on this Brooks family.
