NOTES
1). From BROOKS AND KINDRED FAMILIES 9 JOSEPH JOHN BROOKS, b. 1780, m.HANNAH HARPER, lived in Chatham County, NC, and was one of theoutstanding citizens. He represented his County in the North CarolinaGeneral Assembly 1825 28 29 30 and 31. In 1835 he wasa member of theHouse Committee on Education and he is listed among those voting in thenegative on the Bill to prevent all persons form teaching slaves to readand write, the use of figures excepted. JOHN JOHN BROOKS and wife, hadissue 39. VELINA BROOKS, married ALLEN JONES 40. JANE E. BROOKS, married William Grant Merritt 41. COl. ISAAC T. BROOKS, married MARGARET Rives 42. ELIZABETH BROOKS, married George Clegg 43. MARY ANN BROOKS married Joe Rives 44. FRANCIS MARION BROOKS married Mary George Petty 45. ISABELLE TERRELL BROOKS married Elbert R. Partridge. Using date given by Steven Brooks sbrooks4@nc.rr.com. He has information from Dennis Brooks of Siler City, NC that JOSEPH JOHNwas in the state legislature. It appears he died intestate which makes mewonder if he died suddenly. He appears in the 1810, 1820 and 1830 census.I can t find him after that which could mean that he left Hannah withvery small children. Needs investigation. The 1820 federal census for Chatham County, NC shows Checked with NARA,Waltham, MA. 0 malesunder 10 0 males under 15 0 males 16 18 1 males 25 44 which would be JOSEPH JOHN who does not yet have a wife 0 males 45 0 females under 10 0 females under 15 0 females 16 18 0 females 18 25 0 females 25 44 0 females 45 8 foreigners not naturalized agriculture 0 commerce 2 manufacturing 5 male slaves under 14 1 male slave 15 25 3 male slaves 26 44 2 male slaves 45 2 female slaves under 14 0 female slaves 15 25 3 female slaves 26 44 0 female slaves 45 0 freed negros of whatever age
2).  Roger Foushee cleared up my question about two HANNAH HARPERS    one, awidow, was the second wife of ISAAC BROOKS and this one, wife of JOSEPHJOHN, her granddaughter.  This HANNAH  s father was ABRAHAM HARPER, son of TRAVIS HARPER. On 12August, 2001, Patty found that this HANNAH did indeed marry after JOSEPHJOHN BROOKS died. This might explain why her daughter VELINA married soyoung.  Chatham County, NC fed. census, Upper Regiment JAMES HUTTON   44  M    Farmer            value $1,600  could be BROOKSland  HANNAH         44    making her born abt. 1806  ISAAC BROOKS   12    this is her son with JOSEPH JOHN who was Col.
