I have an ancestor, Sarah Brooks, 11 March 1849, Cambria, Hillsdale, MI,
daughter of Washington S & Mahala E Chapman Brooks. Information I have for
her is that she did not marry. Her parents and family moved west to
Skamokawa, Wahkiakum, Washington Territory c.1870 when she was about 21. I
do not have her in any further census involving them and believe she
remained in Michigan.
Now, the death information I have for her is that she died 23 Nov 1910 in
Cass City, Tuscola, MI. However, there is a Find-A-Grave for a Sarah Lucas
Brooks, wife of John Brooks, with same dates of birth and death, born in
Canada, died in Argyle, Sanilac, MI, buried in Cass City Cemetery. It does
look like John Brooks and son James Edwin are buried in the same cemetery.
I'm wanting to see if my information is way off base, perhaps I completely
have the wrong date of death for my Sarah Brooks, and where she might be
buried. My Sarah's family was originally from Hillsdale County, MI.
If in passing you run across Sarah Brooks b.1800 NY, please let me know.
We believe Marcena & Sarah Boss Brooks died in Hillsdale Co, MI after 1870
census but can't find their final resting place. Thanks for any help.
