Dear List,
I am looking for information on John Brooks was married to Hattie Wilson,
John was born around 1868 in Maryland , I believe that he was born in the
Trappe area. I am trying to find out who his parents are. There are many John
Brooks in the Trappe area, this John that I found on the census in Whaleyville
1870 list his parents as Wash and Comfort Brooks, the census list comfort's
mother as being Bessie or Betty Milburn.
John and Hattie's children were : Mary S. Brooks , Minnie E. Brooks and my
father Anthony J. Brooks. They were in Trappe in 1900, by 1910 Hattie is listed
as a widow living with her children in Salisbury, 1920 Hattie Brooks was
living with daughter Lena and granddaughter Alice, 1930 Hattie Brooks was living
with a grandson Raymond Jones and wife. Any help on this family will be
appreciated.

PS. This family is supposed to be related to Randolph Brooks past principle
of Salisbury High School
