Brooks of TN, GA, NC c.1800
I am trying very hard to find a particular Brooks family.
My first ancestor is Sarah Ann Brooks who married John West. Sarah was born about May, 1830. They were supposed to have married about 1848 but I don't know when or where. They appear in 4 censuses that I have been able to find to date. Whitfield Co, Georgia, Mcminn co,TN, Cherokee County, NC, and Polk County, TN. In 1870 and 1880, her mother is living with them. She is named as "Polly" born 1800 NC in the 1870 McMinn Co,TN census. She is named as "Mary H." born 1796 NC in the 1880 Cherokee Co. NC census. I know the names Mary and Polly are interchangeable. Her daughter Sarah's place of birth is generally listed as TN, with her parent's place of birth being listed as NC. Who is the husband of Mary? What is her maiden name? She should still be with him in the 1850 census, but I have been unable to locate them. Any ideas? Thanks.
