Dear List, I am looking for information on John Brooks was married to Hattie Wilson, John was born around 1868 in Maryland , I believe that he was born in the Trappe area. I am trying to find out who his parents are. There are many John Brooks in the Trappe area, this John that I found on the census in Whaleyville 1870 list his parents as Wash and Comfort Brooks, the census list comfort's mother as being Bessie or Betty Milburn. John and Hattie's children were : Mary S. Brooks , Minnie E. Brooks and my father Anthony J. Brooks. They were in Trappe in 1900, by 1910 Hattie is listed as a widow living with her children in Salisbury, 1920 Hattie Brooks was living with daughter Lena and granddaughter Alice, 1930 Hattie Brooks was living with a grandson Raymond Jones and wife. Any help on this family will be appreciated. PS. This family is supposed to be related to Randolph Brooks past principle of Salisbury High School
