BROOKS FAMILY

 

Charles Wayne Brooks born 1953

married Kathy Cochran 1972 and they

have several common ancestors found in Montgomery

 Alabama 200 years ago. The wagon trains flowed

into Alabama Territory while it was still a vast wilderness full of

wild beasts and several tribes of indians.

Others were found in the 1600s Virginia or even Rhode Island,

moving into New York Indian Country, Pennsylvania and into the Midwest.

The Brooks migrated out of Tennessee into Alabama  working for

the railroad, settling in the downtown area of Montgomery, where

I found some of the Fenn's also working for the railroad. Uncle Frank

and Uncle Emmett Fenn talked of hauling prisoners of war on the train.

Memorial to Charles

    Peter Bozeman in 1790 Cheraws District South Carolina

    http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~kc90853/BOZEMAN/Cheraws1790.txt 

    Peter was in Darlington SC for the 1800 - 1810- 1820 census  

    He may have been born in Bladen North Carolina as was his father Mordecai.

    The theory of this author is that Mordecai was the son of Samuel.
