Do any of the listers know Malinda Ann Brooks and her lineage? My ggrandfather was William Brooks, and his family resided in Decatur County in the 1850-60's. I would be interested to see if Malinda and William might possibly be related. This might help me locate where Mrs. William Brooks, Mary Catherine Coppersmith Brooks might be buried. She has been very illusive!!
