This is before her marriage to Dosie Allen. Her mother's maiden name was Cheeks. I am also researching Chatham, NC with my Walker line whom was mentioned ein the Ida Kellum book along with my Mclean line. My Walker married a Cameron. The Mclean family ties into my Cameron line. I do not yet know the Brooks connection to my Walker and Mclean line, why they were mentioned in the book quite yet.
