Brooker's of Southeast Georgia
I'm interested in contactng anyone trying to research the Brooker's from Southeast Georgia.My great-grandfather was Tolbert Brooker (b. 1878). His parents were James (abt. 1855)and Mary Ann(abt. 1859) Brooker. His siblings were:
Bayard b. 1879
James b. 1882
Della b. 1884 (married R.J. Lewis)
Martha b. 1886 (married Charles Strickland)
Mary b. 1887
Newton b. 1891
John b. 1893
Fred b. 1894
Horace b. 1897
Dodi (?)b. 1899
Georgia b. 1902 (married name: Miller)
Joseph b. 1905
Apparently, they were living in Wayne Co. during the 1900 census.
In addition, I just found a copy of my great-grandfather's obituary.If anyone sees a connection, I'd love to hear from you.Below is a copy of the obit.He died on December 23, 1942.The age in his obituary should have been 64, not 56.He never told the truth about his age.
Thanks!
Jen
