Allison, Thank you SO much for checking up on this information! It was so helpful and informative. I've been working on the Family Tree for the Brooks children (my mother, Penny, is the oldest of the Brooks kids). They are so eager to check out what I've accumulated. Thank you for providing Sarah E. Sweat (Goethe's) last name, as that's been a mystery. I was most interested in the excerpt from "Biographical Souvenir of the States of Georgia and Florida." I've been researching on www.ancestry.com and anything I could find through Google. But, this is a new source for me. Is this source online or is it a book to purchase? Thank you again!!!
