Re: I would like to find more on the marriages of John Sawyer Brooks to (Rhoda?)Rebecca Mitchell (5 Dec 1822) and his brother Samuel to her sister Lucy Amanda. Rebecca and Lucy's parents (as I understand) are Drury and Rebecca Lassiter Mitchell. I am particularly interested in the Brooks line. This family was from Georgia and later moved to Alabama. A reply by e-mail is fine [email protected] (that is a lower case L not the #1)
Do keep me in the loop if you find any old information about Drury Mitchell’s first marriage to Sarah Patsy Taylor.
Drury Mitchell and Sarah Patsy Taylor’s daughter: Peggy Mitchell married John Ziba Hardee – but I can’t find documentation for that parentage.
Drury Mitchell & Rhoda Rebecca Lassiter’s daughters Rebecca (m. Sawyer Brooks) and Lucy (m. Samuel Brooks) – but I can’t find a complete list of children for the two Brooks boys. (by the way, there were FOUR Brooks brothers and Peggy's son John married the daughter of yet another one of them!)
Here’s our dilemma now: Peggy Mitchell died and John Ziba Hardee (in his 40s) married Tabitha Brooks (age 15). I think she was a daughter of one of Peggy’s half sisters (Rebecca or Lucy) – but can’t prove a word of it… Need all the help I can get.
Thanks… Carolkhaki_scott[at]yahoo[dot]com
