Carolyn, Thank you for your response. Is the Christopher Brooks you're referring to the one who died in Nashville in 1854? I've found court records that refer to him as a constable. Christopher & William are both buried in the Old City Cemetery. There are several Brooks' buried there -- do you know if there is a Brooks family plot? Malissa Brooks who is buried there was the first wife of William's son MDFH. Court records show William was Administrator of the will of Thos. Athey, and that he sold 4 slaves to MDFH, both events in 1832. If you have Christopher's line, I'd love to see it. Again, Thanks!
