Posted on: Pike County, Al Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Al/Pike/1889 Surname: Brooks ------------------------- A publication of the Pike County Historical and Genealogical Society (Vol. 38; Nos 1&2 1999)--Marriage Records of Pike Co, AL 1849-1859-- shows a Williamson Brooks married a "Mary Wise" on 19 May 1853. Could be your man? Also a mention of a Jordan Brooks in the Pike Co Heritage Book , which recently came out, but the ages are wrong--perhaps related somehow? Perhaps you can get a copy of this to look at.It is on page 206 under "Robert Rose Brooks" heading.
