Susan, I didn't find him indexed in 1860. There were no Brookshears (any spelling) in 1860 Wharton and no Jesse indexed, but there were quite a few "J" initial Brookshears of various spellings throughout the state. This is not the same one who was born in 1790, but is likely the one who purchased land in Hopkins County in 1861 1870 Hopkins County, Texas - Precinct 2 - PO White Oak - September 12, 1870 - page 95 273 - Brookshear, Jessee, age 42; Farmer; $4500/609; born South Carolina Martha, age 49; keeping house; born Tennessee John, age 18; works on farm; born Texas Mary, age 15; born Texas Julia, age 12; born Texas Lydia, age 8; born Texas Much luck in your search, Linda in Georgia Census/Cemetery Lookup Volunteer Genealogy is my ONLY business. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Susan Jurado" <susan@socket.net> To: <TX-CENSUS-LOOKUP-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, September 14, 2002 10:00 PM Subject: [TX-CEN] 1860 & 1870 Texas Census Lookup > Hi > > Can someone having access to the 1860 & 1870 Texas census please look for Jesse Brookshire/Brookshier/Brookshere/Brookshaw/Brooksher. > He was born abt 1790 possibly in South or North Carolina.
