Fellow Listers, New lister here, looking for information on John BROOKS b. 22 Apr 1830 in Blue Creek, married Samantha PIATT 1850 in Adams County. First child? Andrew born 1852 in Blue Creek, 2nd child? Cyrus b. 1855 in Kansas, were there more children born in Ohio and was the Cholera out-break in 1851 the reason they left the area?? They did go on to have 9 more children, most born in California. Thanx, Gene Hutson Norfolk, Nebraska Genealogy; "a stirring of the memories"
