Hi i am to a decendant of John Thomas Brooks thru William Henry Brooks (1834-1918) i have a Ester McCubbins b 1806 I'm like you i don't know much about them except the first wife died in 1824 so she would have been the mother of John 1823 and Elizabeth 1822. Then the second wife Hester I have dates of Henry 1826, Thomas 1826, Edward 1828, Elizbeth 1831 William 1833, Clement 1835, James 1837, Sophia 1842, there may be a difference of a year on some of the dates from different sites
