Another error:
William J. Brooks and Joseph Hiram Brooks enlisted in Lagrange, Troup Co., not Villa Rica.William J. stated that he was born in Jones Co., GA in 1832. I think he was a son of Hiram Brooks on the Jasper Co., GA 1850 census.There was also a son Joseph bornin 1840, the year that Joseph Hiram Brooks who married a Daniel in Harris Co., GA was born.Hiram's father in law, Thomas Jackson, had land in both Jones and Troup Co.Hiram paid taxes in Jones, and he sold two parcels in Troup.
