    3. I am looking for information on my relative Green Allen Brooks. Ie; Birth, death, wife ect. I know he lived to be about 90.His parents were David and Nervesta Hill Brooks. David was married twice, his first was Malinda Profitt. There is some confusion which really was David's mother. Green Allen's grandparents were George W. Sr and Elizabeth Nevilles Brooks, son of Hezekiah and Betty Rowlett Brooks. Thanks for any help, Bette Sutton Rodey Article below from 1935 OFFICERS SHOT AS THEY MAKE TRY AT ARREST Green Allen Brooks Accused of Killing Redmond and Bailey Arch Redmond and Bob Bailey, two deputy sheriffs of Lee County, were shot and killed this afternoon about 2:00 o'clock, at Denny's Place beyond Piney Spur, on the Virginia road, according to Chief of Police Charles H. Minton who was called to help investigate the shooting. Green Allen Books is alleged to have fired upon the officers as they went to his home to serve a fugitive warrant on Luther Poore, who was wanted in Middlesboro. Brooks is said to have used a high-powered rifle. He immediately fled, and is now being hunted. Poore was on the front porch when the shooting occurred. Poore is reported to be the son-in-law of Brooks. Chief Minton, after rushing to the scene of the slaying, hurried to a telephone to call Sheriff R. F. Giles. ************************* * Note- He was finally caught in Texas, going by the name Preacher Jones and holding and preaching a revival.
