Since so many answered on the Holbrook line, I thought I would post what I
know to the list, which isn't much. Ida M. Holbrook was born Mar 20, 1861
and died Feb 8, 1900. She married John Wainscot who was born Sept 2, 1856
and died Dec 28, 1906. I looked in the 1870 Owen County census and was not
able to find her, but I could have overlooked it. John and Ida are both
buried in Mussel Shoals cemetery. If anyone knows who Ida's parents are I
would really appreciate it.

Their oldest daughter Mary Ann was born in 1881 and married Golie Foster
Mason in Oct. 1900. I don't know anything else about Golie Mason and
haven't looked real hard simply because of the name. I didn't find him in
the 1900 census in Owen County and I didn't even try Soundex. I found Golie
and Mary Ann in Owen County in 1920, but many of their children were not
listed in their household including my grandmother.

Any help I can get will be greatly appreciated.
