Message Board Post:
My 3rd great-grandfather, Thomas Brooks (b. 1794/5 in NJ or NY), had an unmarried daughter
who's obituary states was born in Athens Co. Her date of birth calculated from her
Randolph County, Indiana obituary would have been 2 Feb. 1822.
In 1850 this Margaret Brooks is found in the home of Magdaline (Haning) Brooks: Magdaline
Brooks age 66; Elsay (son) age 21; Margaret Brooks age 28; and two Bradfield
grandchildren.
By 1860, Magdaline Haning Brooks lived with her son Elsay/Elzay and my Margaret is no
longer with her. I cannot find Margaret at all in the 1860 census. In 1870 she is found
with Susannah Brooks, her father's widow in Randolph County where they both died in
1891.
Any help would be appreciated!
