Beverly, my branch of Brookshire's went from NC to AL then TX; however, you and I connect prior to that as we descend from James Brookshire the immigrant who came to Maryland from England. Some went to TN and NC. I don't have much on your GA branch, but I do know that Meadows and Brookshire's married in VA in the 1600's. Feel free to email me and I'll fill you in with what I do have.

Pleasant #2 ("Hill Church") in Union Co., Suchas, (Gaddistown Dist.) Ga. He was mar. to Nancy Meadows. I would like to know more about these two people. They had four children, Wm. Wright (my GGrandfather), md. Hannah Thomason, Elizabeth Armon md. Wm. Wiley Abercrombie, Mary Melissa (Sarah,Nicy) md. John Henry Abercrombie, Greene md.Fannie V. Montgomery. In the 1850 Union Co. census these four children were living with (I presume) their Grandfather Thomas Meadows who is in his 90's. I would like to know more about Thomas Meadows. The above Hannah Thomason, my GGrandmother, was the daughter of Young John & Easter Grindle Thomason. I would love to hear from anyone with info or working on any of these families. Thanks very much.
