Sorry, no Hanna CROOKS in my line. My Crooks all hailed from Edwards County in Illinois. Henry CROOKS b. 1791 married Mrs. Mary CARPENTER in Wood County, VA They had three children: Olive b. 1811, Dorcas b 1814, and Guy b 1817. They moved to Edwards County between 1812 and 1814 with one son from Mary's previous marriage. Guy CROOKS b. 1817 married Nancy BOREN They had two children that I know of (probably more): Mary b. 1840, and Charles W. CROOKS b.1856/7. Charles William CROOKS married Alice Mary FUQUA b 1859. They had 9 children: Rollie (Rowland) b 1880, Carl b 1891, William b 1887, Walter b. 1892, Alta b 1885, Melinda b 1889, Otis b 1881, Zadie b 1883, and Pearl b 1901. In 1898 they left Edwards County IL and moved West to settle in an isolated area known as Lester in the state of Washington. By 1902 they had moved into the city of Tacoma. I'm descended from Zadie Mary CROOKS. She and James Orval COFFEY produced two children: Orvie Lewella and Homer Kenneth COFFEY. Orvie was my grandmother. I'm trying to locate Alice Mary FUQUAs parents. Everything points to her being born in Illinois but there are some references to Kentucky. Can anyone out there help?
