I am researching the BROOKS and PHILLIPS lines in Washington County -- along with several others. However, my BROOKS line goes back to 1800 and my PHILLIPS line to Mary Polly BROOKS was born about 1786 in NC and died in 1864 in Sandersville, Washington County, GA. She married John L. ELTON about 1815 in Washington County. Mary Polly and John were my g.g.g.grandparents. Jane Della PHILIPS or PHILLIPS (I've seen it spelled both ways) was the daughter of Susanna (MNU) and perhaps John PHILIPS. Jane was born July 11, 1813 in SC and died July 08, 1891 in Washington County. She married Jethro B. SUMNER April 04, 1830 in Sandersville, Washington County, GA. Jane and Jethro were my g.g.g.grandparents. Are any of these names in your line? Betty ----- Original Message ----- From: David W.

He was born on August 12, 1864 in Wytheville, Wythe Co., Virginia, and he died on October 14, 1936 in Montgomery, Montgomery Co., Alabama. He was a Methodist, and he was married to Annie L. SIKES (daughter of Samuel Isaac SIKES and Augusta Virginia BROOKS) about 1890. She was born on July 23, 1870 in the vicinity of Macon, Bibb Co., Georgia. She died on April 15, 1949 in Montgomery, Montgomery Co., Alabama. They had two daughters, Myra Virginia WHITT, born on November 8, 1898, and Nell Ross WHITT (my mother) was born in Sandersville on March 6, 1900. The Whitts moved from Sandersville to Montgomery, Alabama prior to 1915, and my mother, Nell Ross WHITT, stayed in Sandersville with Mr. Willis Evans' family until the end of the school year. If anyone has any information on his family to share, I would appreciate it very much.
