James Brooks and his wife Caroline are enumerated in the 1850 Louisa Co. census, ages both age 29, in household #1115. Not far away, in household #1108, are Elhana [Elkanah] Brooks, age 59, his wife Sarah, age 53, and four children ages 27 and under. These look like prime candidates for James's parents. On 9 Sept. 1850 Susan Ann Brooks, dau. of Elkanah Brooks, married Julian Wiltshire of Hanover Co., son of William. Sureties were Robert S. and William Wiltshire. Since your James Brooks married a Caroline Wiltshire, this looks like two siblings marrying into the same family. Ann V. Brooks wrote: > > Looking for parents of James Brooks (above) d. 1896 in VA.
