Sue, It was my Web Page that Tina found. Here are records that I have for David Brooks. I don't think I have all of these posted on my Web Page. We never proved a definative relationship been Ann Brooks and David Brooks. That was something we were going to explore further. I suspect he was her brother, Tina, but have not yet found documentation to confirm it. The fact that he took over administration of her deceased husband's estate points to a close familial relationship. There is also the deed between David Brooks and David Andrews. Tina, what is your connection to this family? 1764 Lunenburg Co, VA tithes list (in the same district with Thomas, Richard, and Peter Andrews) John Brooks David Brooks, his son ...................... 3 300 Richard Brooks, Senr. ........................ 1 100 Mecklenburg Co, VA Order Book 3, At a Court held for Mecklenburg County on Monday the Sicth day of August 1772.
