As far as I know the William Brooks that you are speaking of did not serve in the Civil War.However, his son, William M. Brooks served as a waggoner in the 1st TN Volunteer Cavalry from 15 Sep 1862 to 24 Apr 1865, first in Company E and then Company G. Son William was born 27 May 1843 and died 23 Dec 1889.He married Mary Baker 10 Aug 1865. I don't have his pension papers, if any, but he is listed in Blue and Gray of Hawkins County - The Federals, page 60 and also in the 1st TN Vol Reg roster. Both William's are in the 1850 - 1880 Hawkins and Hancock census reports.
