Go to the Thames page to view Millie Elizabeth Brooks (a granddaughter of john Brooks and a daughter of Matthew Brooks) that married William R. Thames. This Web page does not list anyone born much after 1900 as I was asked by some family members not to list their name on the web. A book has been written on the Brooks family, called Brooks-Harrison-Dean families of Newton Co., MS. The book lists all descendants that were born up to 1997. The book possible list 80 percent of all descendants of John and Millicent Brooks. For a hardback copy of the book send email to FrankHarrison@prodigy.net or mail to Frank Harrison, P. O. Box 787, Gautier, MS 39553. Benjamin Brooks was selected as being John N. Brooks father after researching every Brooks's families in SC, NC, TN, AL and GA in the 1820 and 1830 census. Was able to eliminate all other Brooks's families except for Benjamin. A grandson of Mary Emily Brooks Dean remembered his grandmother saying that we were kin to the Beckham in Philadelphia, MS and to the Edwards family. All siblings for John Brooks were listed per the statement by the grandson, the census and marriage records of Sumter Co., AL. The sibling listed for John Brooks also match the age and sex of the children of Benjamin Brooks and Sarah Toomer in the 1820 and 1830 census. Have no other proof that Benjamin is John father. If anyone have more information on this Benjamin Brooks or any of his children, please email at: FrankHarrison@prodigy.net . I will furnish more information if needed.
