LOOKING FOR INFO ON JOEL BROOKS FROM PRINCE EDWARD VA.

Hi Patty,My gg grandfather was Zachariah Calvin Brooks of Tazewell Tenn.He had a brother named Travis Brooks. They were both born about 1820-25.Zachariah's mother was Nancy Brooks b. 1788 Prince Edward Co. VAdau of Bartholomew Brooks and Sussanah Smith Brooks, Bartholomew, being born about 1763-5 and having proven brother David Brooks b. abt 1755-8, of the REV. War.They are somehow connected to your Joel, and Thomas and George Brooks of Prince Edward and Charlotte Co VA.Nancy Brooks married first James Nevilles and had about 6 Nevils children some of whom married Brooks children. She secondly married a Brooks (even though she was a maiden Brooks) and had three Brooks children and migrated to Tenn through the Cumberland gap.She was listed as a widow on the 1830 census, so her Brooks husband must have died between 1820-29.I know there was a Thomas Brooks that married a Mary Smith also in Prince Edward or Charlotte Co VA.This could be the Thomas that you speak of.Also George Brooks was a common family name as well as Travis and Zachariah.
