I FOUND JAMES M BROOKINS ON THE 1880 GILES COUNTY FED CENSUS, THE PAGE ON THE NET WAS VERY HARD TO READ. HE DOESN'T SHOW UP IN 1870, ALTHOUGH HE MARRIED DICEY ANN BRASHEARS 24 jULY, 1870 IN GILES COUNTY. SONS WERE THOMAS CLAYTON BORN 1874 HENRY BORN 1872 BERRY D. BORN 1877, ROSA BORN 1880 AND EFFIE BORN 1886. SOME OF THEM CAME TO TEXAS IN THE EARLY 1900'S. I WOULD LIKE TO FIND JAMES M'S PARENTS NAMES. THANKS FOR ANY HELP. DIANE IN TEXAS
