The query from 1981 by the title of Brooks, King, German was from by my father, George M. Jenkins. He died in 1986. I posted a query based on my father's on this board in 2002. I still have not made the link from Ohio to New York. By looking at census data, I am zeroing in on Cayuga County, NY. In 2002 we visited the cemetery in Seneca County, Ohio and photographed most of the Brooks stones. We did not find anything helpful at the courthouse. We hope to make a trip to New York.
