Posted on: Jones County, Ga Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/Jones?read=813 Surname: BROOKS ------------------------- Donna, I have seen on the 1817, 1818-1819 Jones Co. tax list that John Brooks is always close to Isham Brooks. Well, there seemed to be two John Brooks, the other one close to William Brooks in 1817 and Charles H. Brooks in 1818-1819. I am looking for information about Robert and Matthew Brooks who appear on the 1817 tax list and Arthur Brooks who entered the 1820 Land Lottery with his residence listed as Jones Co. If he is the Arthur Brooks I think he is,he isn't on the tax lists, because he was 88 years old in 1820. I think Robert and Matthew might be his sons.

I'm interested in the history of covered graves. We have on-line a photo of two in Taylor County http://www.rootsweb.com/~gataylor/taycem.htm Click on Covered Graves These are at Union Methodist - Hays Campground Cemetery. Mr. John Adams, editor of the Taylor Tracer, provided these photos and also gave the theory that due to the sandy soil in that part of Georgia, the covered graves were to prevent erosion of the graves themselves, as well as to designate family plots. I just wondered if anyone knew of other history and if they can be found in other counties. Virginia

After today my new e-mail address will be [email protected] Please make this change in your address book or otherwise note the change. Thanks Wayne Bowden
