Yup, George Ann is the DAUGHTER of Mary L. Brake. I think I explained that backwards down there...sheesh...can't handle this midnight oil like I used to. George Ann is daughter of Archie C Crook and Mary L. Brake (born 1823). Their children are: Mary Jane, George Ann, Elizabeth, William Thomas. Mary L. is the daughter of Axium Brake (b 1787) ...think I have a pic of his ugly mug somewhere. LOL!!! and his wife was Martha W. Axium's folks were Benjamin Brake (abt 1750-1794) and Priscilla ?. Benjamin was the son of Jacob our immigrant who came here as an indentured servant, settled in Rocky Mount NC in 1742. He purchased land in Nansemond Co. VA 1743 and 1749 and was in Edgecomb Co. NC by 1762. If you want Brake info, I have it coming out the gazoo, let me know off list. jan ----- Original Message ----- From: gildent <gildent@email.msn.com> To: <DanvilleCrossing-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, July 19, 1999 11:04 PM Subject: Re: Milam > Do you think your Mary Jane Cook is a relative to George Ann Cook that > married Augustus Milam?
