My ancestor was related to this family - I am not certain how he is related. Jacob Rutledge Brooks was b. 1806 in Walton County, GA to James Brooks.A brother of Jacob's was Joseph Brooks. A sister was Winifred Brooks who married Samuel Storey.In the book, Wayfarers of Walton - Gold Lottery - 1827 lists 'orphans of James Brooks.'
I received a information that John Brooks son, Stephen was a cousin of Jacob Rutledge Brooks.
I have been unable to find James Brooks, Jacob's father, listed in the Brooks lists.I think he is also connected closely to Iverson Lewis Brooks... they married sisters.cf
