Brooks family from Kent County Texas
Looking for family members of the Brooks family that lived
in and around Kent County Texas. John N. Brooks, brn 1851, from Cocke Co Tenn moved to that area of Texas with his children. His wife Mary J. Brooks ( maiden unknown) died in 1899, while the family was enroute/leaving Oklahoma.
She is buried in Denton county, and the family showed to be near the Red River in Oklahoma in the 1900 census.
Their children were
Franklen , brn 1876 ( no record of Franklen after 1880),
Henry Ed, brn 1880 ( Most members of his family now live in the Marble Falls area of Texas), Gray Daniel brn 1884
(my great-grandfather), Bruce Clayton brn 1885,John Steven brn 1888,Josie Harriett brn 1893. The names may be reversed, Steven John, Edward Henry..etc..I do know that Gray Daniel is correct.
The family lived in the Girard, Texas area of Kent county and also Spur in Dickens county..1900's -1940's
I have bits and pieces of information on the family, would love to share what I have with other members of this Brooks family.
