Tracing My Roots
Our Journey through time Thank you for visiting my pages and I hope to hear from my new cousins who connect with my lineage. Researching John Brooks, born 1837,son of Hans Letter sent to Clarence, son of Sissy Brooks: Seek info. on John Brooke(s) bn c 1810 and family. John Brooke was bn in Holland and wife in France whose name is unknown. They came to the U.S. about 1841 and it's believed they lived in PA. The parents died possibly prior to l850 from unknown causes and left four young children: John (bn cl837); Edward; Henry and Christine. A guardian was appointed and Christine was adopted. John (bn cl837) is my gtgt grandfather. He was taught the tailoring trade and moved to Columbia, TN about l860. Nothing is known on the other siblings except one brother had a son named Abraham L. Brooke (bn cl866 - l870's) who is thought to have lived in Reading, PA. Apparently all siblings except John lived in PA. My gt Aunt, Lula Brooks Wiltshire bn l874 stated her sister Nora Brooks Hines bn l86l had corresponded with her first cousin Abraham L. Brooke but they later lost contact. He is thought to have never married. My mother is a Brooks. Any info. appreciated. I live in Montgomery, AL. Thanks. I recently found Abraham L. Brook on the l880 census in Northumberland Co., PA. His age given is l7 thus born l862-63. He is living in household of Frank Miller age 28 or 38(?) and wife Catherine age 39. Apparently Catherine is Abraham Brook's mother and a widow who remarried Mr. Miller. Catherine could have had other children living away from home in l880. There are no Miller children listed. Mr. Miller worked for the railroad and Abraham Brook may have also Grandfather Robert Warner Brooks was born in 1918 to Robert Warner Brooks (born 1886 in Philadelphia to a Francis Brooks and Georgianna Jones) and Carrie Kanouse of Nesquehoning, Carbon County.Francis Brooks was born in Philadelphia to John S Brooks(~1840, a retail grocer)and Sarah?.I know Francis Brooks lived in Upper Darby as did his brother Harry.My Grandfather's sister lived in Sunbury/Muncy area for years, most of his family remained in the Summit Hill area - Carbon County.My Grandfather often talked about his Aunts and Uncles from Philadelphia area visiting frequently.As the W. as a middle name drew my attention to your post, could this be a connection========= Name Relation Marital Status Gender Race Age Birthplace Occupation Father's Birthplace Mother's Birthplace Frank MILLER Self M Male W 28 PA R.R.

JC married Elizabeth Wise, the daughter of Henry and they are found on the 1790 census of South Carolina. They named a son Thomas Randolph Carter, probably after his brother Thomas Carter who followed them to Talledega, Alabama in St. Clair County about 1820. The land record is dated 1821. John Wise Carter had seven sons listed in 1830. Thomas Randolph Carter was my father in law's great grandfather, so he is definitely an ancestor to my children and grandchildren, one grandson is named Carter. It is suspected that the mother of Thomas was a native american. Thomas had dark piercing eyes and dark hair and absolutely nothing can be found on his mother's heritage. Elizabeth named a son John Wise Carter around 1790 and he married a woman only known as "Mary". My son has found a tombstone in a local confederate cemetery in Deatsville, Elmore County, AL, with a J. W. Carter on it which will be photographed soon. This J.

The wife of Lewis is unknown but could she be related....Hope Hull is probably one of the very first settlements of Montgomery County AL. It's road goes right to Maxwell AFB and so close to the downtown area where the capitol stands. Thomas Carter's plantation would have been so close to Bibb, Graves, Bell, McGehee, and many others including a John Booth and a George Bush. There is a historical marker downtown where John Wilkes Booth once performed and the current George Bush we all know flew in often to go fishing with old friends and relatives. There were also some legal documents signed by Judge Benajah Bibb. Thomas Carter served in the Civil War, owned his own horse and after Lacy Jane died, he married Mary Josephine Hereferd of Virginia and they had only one child, Sarah Elizabeth Carter. Sarah married Levi Benjamin Cooper and had "Mamaw" Susie Mae Cooper "Brooks". http://www.usgenealogy.net/members///ALABAMA///Notes/1/thomasrcarter-grandfather2susiemaecooperbrooks.htm - http://www.usgenealogy.net/members///Lorena///Thomas.html Susie Mae Cooper 's granny (58 KB)Mary Josephine Herriferd married T R Carter and had Sarah Elizabeth Carter.

Its companies were from the counties of Calhoun, Shelby, Greene, Montgomery, Tuscaloosa, Butler, Coosa, Monroe, and Dallas. The regiment operated for a time in Florida, then skirmished in Mississippi under General Ruggles before being assigned to Ferguson's Brigade. Under this command it was active in the Atlanta Campaign, the defense of Savannah, and the campaign of the Carolinas. Later the 2nd Cavalry formed part of President Davis' escort when he moved southward during the last days of the war. It surrendered at Forsyth, Georgia, in May, 1865, with about 450 officers and men. Its commanders were Colonels John N. Carpenter, R.G. Earle, and F.W. Hunter; Lieutenant Colonels James Cunningham, Josiah J. Pegues, and John P. West; and Majors Richard W. Carter and Leroy Napier. * * * For a while Thomas's brothers lived around him, but soon left for Georgia. Elizabeth Wise Carter went back to South Carolina when her husband died. Her brother in law Captain Thomas Carter has not been studied, so it is not known if he remained on his plantation in Talladega. However we do know there are some famous Carter families in Georgia :) There is no known connection with my mother Anne Carter to these Carters but, who knows?? Her father was Cecil Carter of Macon GA. Susie Mae Cooper married James E. Brooks and named her son James E. Brooks, Jr. Susie's inlaws were Annie Clark Ballard and John Brooks of Tennessee. They have a vast history in early Tennessee 1800s. James Jr. married Mary Ella Thornton, the daughter of Bessie Mae Hood and Milton Elijah Thornton. Milton Elijah's mother was Mary Angeline Partridge, an indian from Georgia. This information comes from Milton's daughter, Lorraine "Tutor" Thornton Jeffcoat and her daughter Sue Carol Bozeman. Mary's parents were Mildred Smith and George Partridge of Flint Georgia. 1870 United States Federal Census about J C C Partridge Name: J C C Partridge Estimated birth year: abt 1848 Age in 1870: 22 Birthplace: Alabama Home in 1870: Rockford, Coosa, Alabama Family and neighbors: View Results Race: White Gender: Male Name Relation Marital Status Gender Race Age Birthplace Occupation Father's Birthplace Mother's Birthplace Charles PARTRIDGE Self M Male B 54 GA Working On Farm GA GA Caroline PARTRIDGE Wife M Female B 54 GA Working On Farm GA GA Doc PARTRIDGE Son S Male B 16 GA Working On Fa Rachel PARTRIDGE Mother W Female B 70 GA GA GA Anna CHUM GDau S Female B 5 GA GA GA --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Source Information: Census Place District 809, Meriwether, Georgia....Series Number: S372001 Volume: 00B1 Page: 00180 Item: 00 Date: 1720-1722 Description: WALKER, WILLIAM TO NATHANIEL PARTRIDGE, DEED OF TRUST FOR1 INDIAN GIRL, BEDS, CHAIRS, BLANKETS ETC.

The city of Montgomery was voted in 1846 to become the permanent state capitol. The first Capitol Building was completed in December 1847. In December 1849 this building burned. Money was appropriated in 1850 to rebuild. Over the years, the Capitol Building was added to and remodeled. In 1861, Jefferson Davis was sworn in as President of the Confederate States of America in Montgomery, the first capital of the CSA. Montgomery County was represented in this new government by William Parish Chilton (1810 – 1871), former Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court. In 1886, the first electric streetcar system for our nation was installed here. The nation's first flight school for powered was founded here in 1910 by the Wright Brothers Rosa Parks simple act of taking a seat in the front of the bus after a very tiring day took place in Montgomery in 1955. Dr. Martin Luther King's 1965 march from Selma was to Montgomery ended at the state capitol steps. Montgomery has been a center for many firsts in our country Montgomery County is the fourth largest of the 67 counties in the state of Alabama. Only Jefferson, Mobile, and Madison counties have larger populations. Montgomery County's population, according to the 1990 census was 209,085. Montgomery County has a very colorful background. Settlers first began to populate the area in the early 1800s. The county of Montgomery was created by an Act of the Legislature of the Mississippi Territory on December 6, 1816. It was carved out of Monroe County and originally embraced the whole of central Alabama, east of the ridge dividing the Tuscaloosa and Tombigbee Rivers from the Cahaba River, west of the Okfuskee and Coosa, and south of the mountains of Blount. However, it was soon subdivided and portions were set apart which made up Elmore, Bullock, and Crenshaw counties. Montgomery County was named in memory of Major Lemuel P. Montgomery, of Virginia, who fell at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, on March 27, 1814. He was shot in the head by a Redstick musketball, becoming the first man to die in the battle. A statue of Major Montgomery graces the entrance of the Montgomery County Courthouse, located at 251 S. Lawrence St. The lands of Montgomery County were put up for auction at the Federal Land Office in Milledgeville, Georgia in 1816. Larger parcels were sold to developers who subdivided the land into lots for urban commercial and residential use, predetermining a major city on the banks of the Alabama River at Montgomery. A hardy and superior class of people penetrated the wilderness. Settlements and towns sprang into existence everywhere. The City of Montgomery, which became the county seat in 1822, was built on the side of the Indian town Ikanatchati (Econachatee), which means red ground, and Towasa on a high red bluff known to Alibamu Indians as Chunnaanaauga Chatty. Hernando DeSoto and his troops, who passed near Montgomery in the autumn of 1540, were the first Europeans to visit this region. When the Alabama Lands were offered for sale in 1817, two groups of speculators made their initial payments. One group, a company of Georgians led by General John Scott, bought the area along the river bluff and called it "Alabama Town." Later, a second group, led by Andrew Dexter, bought the area bounded by present day Court, Ripley, Scott, and Jefferson Streets and named it "New Philadelphia." The Georgians abandoned the Alabama Town and built the town of East Alabama, in competition. A bitter rivalry between the two groups was finally terminated when the two towns were merged under the name Montgomery. Incorporated December 3, 1819, eleven days before Alabama was admitted into the Union, the city of Montgomery was named in honor of Major Richard Montgomery of Revolutionary War fame, who lost his life in the Arnold expedition against Quebec. * * * My mom's parents were Emily Alice McClain and Cecil Earl Carter. His death certificate shows his parents as William Franklin Fenn and Anna Lou Stone and is signed by his brother Emmett Marvin Fenn. So I ordered William's death certificate and found his parents to be Emeline Harrell and John Fenn of Georgia who had migrated to Tuskegee, Macon, Alabama in the 1800s. John's father was Elijah Fann and his mother was Martha Rich of Georgia and the Fenn/ Fann families took part in the Cherokee Land Lottery. Our grandfathers served in the American Revolution and some were Indian Traders. Elijah's parents were Travis and "Mary". Parents of Travis were Alecy McCoy who was probably indian and Zachariah Fenn who's great grandparents were Mary Stone and John Fann of early Virginia history. The Cherokee history of Georgia have the McCoys listed as Indian, and she was one of my many grandmothers. Martha Rich Fann also had a daughter named Letitia who married a Thomas Rich and they are listed in the Cherokee Rolls. Parents of Anna Lou Stone Fenn were Mary Ann Hendrick and Augustus Marvin Stone who went back to Georgia around 1900 and Anna soon followed. They were found in 1850 census of Macon County, Alabama with Augustus as the child of Benjamin Wilburne Stone and Sarah Ann Davis. Ben's parents were Michael Stone of Maryland and Polly Wells of Georgia. It is not known if we connect to Thomas Stone who signed the Declaration Of Independence.

It is located in the east-central portion of the state, and is bounded on the east by the Chattahoochee River. The county is named for Henry Chambers, a U.S. Senator from Alabama (1825-26). The location of the county seat was selected in 1833 and the town of LaFayette was built specifically for that purpose. Authorities: Acts 1831-32, p.9. Owen, Thomas McAdory. History of Alabama and Dictionary of Alabama Biography. Chicago: S.J. Clarke Publishing Co., 1921. The treaty with the Creeks stipulated that the head of each Indian family was to receive 320 acres of land and the chiefs 640 acres. Most of the Indian land ended up in the hands of white land speculators. Most of the Indians were forced out of Chambers County after the Creek War of 1836-1837. Some of them ended up in Randolph, Macon, Tallapoosa or Talladega counties for a short while, before finally giving up and heading further west. Some of the Indians managed to stay in Alabama by denying their Indian blood, claiming to be Black Dutch or Melungeun. 1850 United States Federal Census Name: B W Stone Age: 31 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1819 Birth Place: Georgia Gender: Male Home in 1850(City,County,State): District 21, Macon, Alabama Household Members: Name Age Augustus Stone 7 B W Stone 31 Charles T Stone 8 Joel W Stone 3 Sarah Stone 23 http://www.usgenealogy.net/members///ALABAMA///Notes/1/anniesgreatgrandparents-stone-1850-maconal.jpg 1860 Macon Co, AL, So.

When she left Fenn she took baby Cecil so was Fenn not the father? This will forever remain a mystery. An adoption record might exist either in Georgia or Alabama but were they even recorded at that time. After Fenn died Cecil did come back to Alabama to be near his brothers so perhaps they were hisblood kin. He met and married Emily McClain and called her Ellie. She was the daughter of Lorena Emma Bozeman and Charles Allen McClain. Lorena's parents were Alice Lorena Stephens and John Thomas Bozeman of Dublin. Charles is buried at Dublin Church of Christ Cemetery but has no tombstone, while one should have been provided since he served in World War 1. Lorena is buried at Memorial Cemetery near Maxwell AFB on land that was once owned by her Uncle Robert Henry Bozeman, a contractor. Lorena's daughter Emily Alice is buried nearby but has no headstone. Most of the McClain children are buried there. Lorena's mother Alice Stephens is buried in Dubin behind the Hills Chapel Church, while her father is buried by his last wife in front of that church in another cemetery called Hills Chapel Cemetery.

Corintha was an Anderson so this is L J Sellers Anderson...............Corinthas sister Nancy married a Bozeman next door. An Uncle Elijah Anderson died in the Civil War and is buried at Hickory Grove and ironically my great grandparents Lorena and Charles McClain onced lived at Hickory Grove. The Stephens line came from South Carolina where John Stephens married a full blood Cherokee woman and his son John Jr. married Jane Tillman, a German. The parents of Charles McClain were Elizabeth Broadway and Josiah Marion McClain. Josiah left a family in Georgia to serve in the Civil War and settled with Elizabeth in Ramer. His ex wife filed for divorce in 1872 claiming desertion and she joined the Cherokee Rolls. Parents of Elizabeth were Mary Stephens and Abner Broadway. Abner's parents came from South Carolina, Nancy and Abner Broadway. Josiah's parents were James McClain of Georgia and "Anna" and are buried at Indian Creek Cemetery. Anna could have been a native american. Many of these grandfathers served in the American Revolution. The McClains trace back to Elizabeth Moon who married a Charles McClain in Virginia after the War and they migrated to Spartanburg South Carolina. 1880Josiah M.

Much has been written about William Benjamin Sellers and John Stephens; The Doty family came from the first Thanksgiving in America, including our Edward Doty.The capital city of Montgomery attracted most who were moving into Alabama. They farmed cotton and hauled by horse and wagon to Dexter Avenue to sell it. Those in Ramer or Dublin had a very hard time on the nasty dirt roads with their wagons getting stuck, that they found it much closer, to just travel to Troy and sell their crops.Cousin Clarence deserves much credit for his work on the Brooks family tree. Our Hans Brooke came from Holland with a french wife and settled in Pennsylvania, having four children. Son John was found on the 1860 census of Giles Tennessee where he married and began a family but he also died young of tuberculosis and his wife remarried.Even though we all studied history as children, only now do I realize how harshly the epidemics harmed our families. There were very few doctors, and even less money to pay them, so most families made their own tonics or salves and tried to heal their own. Also we begin to realize that our own ancestors were the indians who lost their lands during the Trail or Tears and that we also had ancestors serving in the American Revolution. We had ancestors in the Civil War with some in the Union and some in the Confederacy. There is a documented soldier or patiot in most of my surnames of this lineage.Years ago when I first started this family tree, I downloaded a Cochran file online and thanks to Richard for his hard work on my Dad's lineage and the rest is my own labor of love. I took what Richard had posted on rootsweb and began my own census search to verify each family in the line and found even more to add, especially the Jacob Cochran file I received from cousin Chuck. Soon my little family tree became an addiction to genealogy.I have met many new cousins on the internet and shared stories and pictures. Much of my research has been found on usgenweb and the lds websites and I do thank my Bozeman cousins for meeting with me on 5/2/2007 and helping us find the grave of Peter Edward Bozeman. I have visited many cemeteries and ordered death certificates to prove my lineage.Elisha Anderson's will was probated in Montgomery 1834, Several marriage licenses and estate sales, even confederate applications. The first Peter Bozeman born 1758 has letters filed here in 1828 where he wrote to the revolutionary office.Many books have been written about our families and my own book sits on my desk and is being added to each day but will never be published. My Cochran Clan of Scotland settled in Pennsylvania in the 1700s and had something to do with Cochranville PA, appearing as merchants on the census. Quakers and or Pennsylvania Dutch, they moved into Ohio by 1810, then Iowa and on to Hill City, Kansas where Grandpa Jacob Cochran became the first HomeSteader. Records indicate two Jacobs served in the Ohio Infantry and one died. 1860 United States Federal Census about Jacob Cochran living next to his brother.Name: Jacob Cochran Age in 1860: 38 Birth Year: abt 1822 Birthplace: Ohio Home in 1860: Hamilton, Butte, California Gender: Male Post Office: Hamilton Value of real estate: View Image Household Members: Name Age Jacob Cochran 38 Andw Clark 38 Saml Clark 32 1870 United States Federal Census about Jacob Cochran Name: Jacob Cochran Estimated Birth Year: abt 1818 Age in 1870: 52 Birthplace: Ohio Home in 1870: Troy, Iowa, Iowa Race: White Gender: Male Value of real estate: View Image Post Office: Stellapolis Household Members: Name Age Jacob Cochran 52 Mariah Cochran 53 Ruthan Cochran 16 Margarett A Cochran 13 1880 United States Federal Census about Jacob Cochran Name: Jacob Cochran Home in 1880: Troy, Iowa, Iowa Age: 58 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1822 Birthplace: Ohio Relation to Head of Household: Self (Head) Spouse's Name: Clora Father's birthplace: Ohio Mother's birthplace: Ohio Neighbors: View others on page Occupation: Farmer Marital Status: Married Race: White Gender: Male Idiotic or insane: View Image Household Members: Name Age Jacob Cochran 58 Clora Cochran 28 Sarah Cochran 2 ?

Jacob married first to Mariah White and secondly to Clora Jane Miller who is written about in the book "Alexander Miller by Milo Custer". William and Alexander had received Military Land Grants in Ohio. Alexander had served in the American Revolution. William must have served in the War of 1812. Captain George Little of Scotland born 1735 was in Union South Carolina and served in the American Revolution, settling into Kentucky about 1802 with his second wife Mary Handley Douglass. Here his children met up with the Criglers, Carpenters, Roby, Simmons, Wells families. The Coonfields of Holland were in PA in the 1700s and Isaac born about 1760 was in the 1800 Kentucky Tax List. His great grandson Ben Coonfield married Lattie Little. Their daughter Luella married Frank D Cochran. Our grandfather Captain George Little was wounded during the Revolution, therefore exempt from any poll or tax list. Some of the Coonfields and Cochrans were in Iowa Territory in the 1800s and Isaac Coonfield Jr. had settled in Indiana. 1870 United States Federal Census about John W Little Name: John W Little Estimated Birth Year: abt 1844 Age in 1870: 26 Birthplace: Kentucky Home in 1870: Shepherdsville, Bullitt, Kentucky Race: White Gender: Male Value of real estate: View Image Post Office: Shepherdsville Household Members: Name Age Abe Crigler 47 Catharine Crigler 43 Mary Crigler 19 Sodmia Crigler 15 John W Little 26 BIOGRAPHY: 1900 Census, Madison County (Marble Twp.)

Her brother John Handley was a surveyor who took Alexander with him on a trip to explore Kentucky in the 1700s just as Daniel Boone had done. John Handley had hundreds of acres of land in Kentucky. As they returned to Pennsylvania Alexander Douglass was killed. His widow and children moved to South Carolina where they met the Little families, and her daughter Betsy married Jonas Little, the son of George about 1800. Betsy's son Hiram Lucius Little was our grandfather. Hiram was a surgeon in the Civil War. Dr. Hiram Little married Catherine Wright, a daughter of Catherine Weatherford and John C. Wright of Charlotte Virginia. She had several children and died young. Her son John Wright Little is our grandfather. Hiram met and married Rebecca Adams of Tennessee and then moved to Bosque County Texas. John remained in Kentucky with his Uncle Douglass Little. John also served in the Civil War and moved in with Abraham Crigler's family, to marry Abe's daughter, Catherine Crigler. Catherine named a daughter Lattie Cedonia Little and died young. John then moved his family to Arkansas. Civil War Service Records about Hiram Little Name: Hiram Little Unit: Capt. Corbin's Men, Kentucky.

Senate documents (United States Congress, Senate). Government Printing Office: Washington, DC Lattie married Benjamin Wallace Coonfield and named a daughter Luella. Lue married Frank Delbert Cochran, the son of Jacob and Clora. Jacob had also served in the Civil War but records show there were two Jacobs in the war and one died. Ours survived. Jacob told his family that two of his brothers had gone in to Canada and never returned. I did find Jacob with brother John in 1860 in California where they went to search for gold and then in 1870 Jacob and Mariah were in Iowa Territory near his other brothers. Their journey to Iowa from Ohio is written about in a letter online by his daughter Elzira. The tombstones of Clora and Jacob were found in Hill City Kansas. It is unknown what happened to her daughter born to her first marriage. After Jacob's death she lived with each of her children in Kansas for a few months, until her death. Her obituary is also posted in my research. George Little was in Union South Carolina by a Joseph Little, John and a Jonas Little who must have been his brothers; one of them may have been the father. George named his sons after them. That Jonas Little lineage moved south into Alabama and Texas. George's son John was in Tennessee for many years but also went to Texas. There was another Hiram Little in Texas before ours moved there, and the elder Hiram died in the Alamo. George lost his wife about 1800 and married his son's mother in law, but had no children with her. Her brother John Handley offered them land in Kentucky so about 1802 they joined him in Vienna Kentucky. The land was just being cleared and settled so they were mentioned in the books "History Of Kentucky" "History of Muhlenburg" "History of Daviess County" "History of Green River". Much written about our family there by the son of Uncle Douglass, named Lucius Powhatan Little. He was a great author, attorney and Judge. Powahatan's daughter Laura had the memorial set up for George through the DAR and photos of his tombstone are in my research. Powhatan's mother was Catherine Wright's sister, Martha Ann and she was quite creative in naming her children. I traced her mother Catherine Weatherford's marriage in 1811 to some archived Virginia records that indicate her father was Charles Weatherford and her mother was probably Patsy who I found with three girls in the 1810 census of Charlotte Virginia but then I found them later in Kentucky. It is not known when the Coonfields moved to Kentucky but they are found in the 1800 records of Henry County. Isaac could be related to Moses Coonfield, David, John, Jacob and Gideon. His grandfather must have been Christopher: Name: Christopher Confeld Year: 1738 Place: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Source Publication Code: 9041 Primary Immigrant: Confeld, Christopher Annotation: Contains 29,800 names, with annotations written by Krebs (see no. 4203).

Page: 206 Notes for CHRISTOPHER CONFELD: CHRISTOPHER CONFELD ARRIVED IN AMERICA SEPTEMBER 9, 1738, ON THE SHIP GLASGOW FROM HOLLAND AND ENGLAND. SINCE YOUNG MEN OFTEN SAILED TO AMERICA AT A VERY YOUNG AGE, CHRISTOPHER COULD HAVE BEEN BORN ANYWHERE BETWEEN 1718-1723. (MOST OF THE KNOWN COONFIELDS CLAIM TO BE PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH, WHICH MEANS THEIR DUTCH, ENGLISH, AND GERMAN ANCESTORS SETTLED IN PENNSYLVANIA.) : IN ALL PROBABILITY THE ROBERT CONFILDT IN THE 1800 PENNSYLVANIA CENSUS IS A SON OF CHRISTOPHER, WHO COULD BE THE "OVER FIFTY" MAN LIVING IN ROBERT'S HOME AT THE TIME. SINCE JACOB CONFAIR AND JOHN COONFIELD HAVE THE SAME BIRTH YEAR (1775), AND TWINS RUN IN THE FAMILY, THEY COULD VERY WELL BE THE TWIN SONS OF ROBERT. I ALSO BELIEVE ISAAC (1780) IS A SON OF ROBERT. MARTIN COULD BE EITHER THE SON OF ISAAC OR ONE OF THE TWINS, AS HIS BIRTHYEAR IS 1800. SOME OF ISAAC'S CHILDREN ARE : MARTIN (1800?), SUSANNAH (1803?), JAMES (1806), ISAAC (1808), MILLICENT (1813) AND LANARAH (1811). Generation No. 1 1. CHRISTOPHER1 CONFELD was born Abt. 1718, and died WFT Est. 1758-1809. Generation No. 2 2. ROBERT J.2 COONFELDT (CHRISTOPHER1 CONFELD) was born 1755 in PENNSYLVANIA, and died WFT Est. 1784-1846. Children of ROBERT J. COONFELDT are: 3. i. ISAAC COONFIELD3 SR, b. 1780, PENNSYLVANIA; d. Abt. 1830, MARION, INDIANA. : ii. JACOB COONFELDT, b. 1774; d. WFT Est. 1775-1864.: iii. JOHN COONFELDT, b. 1774; d. WFT Est. 1775-1864. The Coonfields are mentioned in the Early Histories of Indiana, arriving there about 1822 and then Isaac's widow Barsheba is found in that 1830 census by the McClain and Cline families. The Arkansas history also has the Coonfield mentioned. It seems they bought land in 1856 there. Isaac born in 1808 first married to Lydia Epperson of Kentucky, and she died young after having Ben, and so Isaac then married her sister Mary. Isaac and Mary's tombstones are found in Arkansas. His son Benjamin Wylie Coonfield served in the Civil War. Wylie was the father of Benjamin Wallace Coonfield and called him Wally. The pictures of Wally strongly resemble my own father and even my brother. Wally's wife Lattie Little strongly resembled Native American and she called herself Cherokee plus part of another tribe. Her daughter Lue called herself one quarter Cherokee. Daddy's sister Bernice says that John Little refused an Indian Land Allotment. The land he got in Arkansas is recorded as HomeStead. The wife of Benjamin Wylie Coonfield was Martha Frances Young born 1841 Indiana to Minerva Evans of Kentucky and James Young. Minerva's father was Silas Evans who lived beside a John Epperson. 1830 United States Federal Census Name: Silas Evans County: Clark State: Kentucky When I traced John Little's wife, Catherine Crigler, I found many more early settlers of Kentucky who had ventured out of Virginia after serving in the American Revolution. Her parents were Mary Catherine Roby and Abraham Crigler. Mary's parents were Catherine Simmons and Reason Roby and his will is found probated in KY. Abe's parents were Mary Duvall and Owen Crigler. There were many plantations with slaves during this time. The Criglers came from Germanna Colony of VA. I did find one census showing that Grandpa Abe Crigler became widowed and left Kentucky to live with his granddaughter Lattie in Arkansas. 1910 United States Federal Census about Benjamin W Coonfield Name: Benjamin W Coonfield[Benjamin W Crowfield] Age in 1910: 39 Estimated birth year: abt 1871 Birthplace: Arkansas Relation to Head of House: Head Father's Birth Place: Indiana Mother's Birth Place: Indiana Spouse's name: Lattia C Home in 1910: Mason Valley, Benton, Arkansas Marital Status: Married Race: White Gender: Male Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Benjamin W Coonfield 39 Lattia C Coonfield 38 Benjamin H Coonfield 17 Anne M Coonfield 15 Lulu E Coonfield 13 *Luella Cochran*Ruth Coonfield 11 Ula Coonfield 9 Carl Coonfield 6 Jewel Coonfield 3 Irene Coonfield 1 7/12 Abraham Criglar 79 There is a book which includes Clora Jane Miller, Jacob Cochran and their son Frank, "Reverend Alexander Miller" by cousin Milo Custer. Yes I would like to know more about Custer! The book names her father James Miller who married Mary Clara Parker and it mentions an Orrin Parker. Parents of James were James T. Miller and Sarah Crawford and goes back to Alexander of Rockingham Virginia. The Parkers came out of New York Indian Country 1700s and then into Ohio and on into Michigan Territory. Mary's father was a Dr. Wanton Horatio Parker and his mother was Sarah Tefft of Rhode Island History. Eventually all of these families migrated to Iowa Territory by wagons. It's been told that Mary Clara Parker shared medicine with the Indians and that Clora Jane smoked a pipe and read the ashes. Then again Jacob Cochran's mother was Martha Henderson was the daughter of Nancy Ann Clendinning and William Henderson who also had a nice history as early settlers of Ohio. !Last name also spelled Clendennin!Nancy Ann Clendennin: Guernsey County History: One cold winter's day theindians, being hungry, came to the little home in Oxford Township. Not knowingwhat she should do, she gave them an apron full of fresh baked bread. In a fewdays a deer was left on the Porch. She was educated in Harrisburg, DauphinCo., Pennsylvania, I assume she was probably born there.She came to Guernsey Co., Ohio in 1806 with her husband and Children. She wasthe first Teacher in Guernsey Co., Ohio. !WilliAM HENDERSON: Guernsey County History: He was the oldest child of Johnand Martha (Long) Henderson. His Grandparents were William and Agnes Hendersonwho came from County Down, Ireland in 1758, they settled in Lewistown, MifflinCo., Pennsylvania. William was a major in the War of 1812. He was a blacksmithand made his own sword. "Roster of Ohio Soldiers in War of 1812" Page 243, Vol.Colonel John DeLong first Regiment Ohio Militia Maj. Wm. Henderson.[cochran.FTW] William's parents were Martha Long and John Henderson: John Henderson the son of William and Agnes (____) Henderson by family lore was born in County Down Ireland and came to the States in 1758. John was born in 1747 and passed away on June 5, 1814 and is laid to rest at the Taggart Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Belmont County, Ohio. John married Martha long abt 1773 in Carlisle, Cumberland County, PA by family lore. "John Henderson listed in the patriot index and up dates that might be theone you are looking for.

Also we begin to realize that our own ancestors were the indians who lost their lands during the Trail or Tears and that we also had ancestors serving in the American Revolution. We had ancestors in the Civil War with some in the Union and some in the Confederacy. There is a documented soldier or patiot in most of my surnames of this lineage.Years ago when I first started this family tree, I downloaded a Cochran file online and thanks to Richard for his hard work on my Dad's lineage and the rest is my own labor of love. I took what Richard had posted on rootsweb and began my own census search to verify each family in the line and found even more to add, especially the Jacob Cochran file I received from cousin Chuck. Soon my little family tree became an addiction to genealogy.I have met many new cousins on the internet and shared stories and pictures. Much of my research has been found on usgenweb and the lds websites and I do thank my Bozeman cousins for meeting with me on 5/2/2007 and helping us find the grave of Peter Edward Bozeman. I have visited many cemeteries and ordered death certificates to prove my lineage.Elisha Anderson's will was probated in Montgomery 1834, Several marriage licenses and estate sales, even confederate applications. The first Peter Bozeman born 1758 has letters filed here in 1828 where he wrote to the revolutionary office.Many books have been written about our families and my own book sits on my desk and is being added to each day but will never be published. When I reesrched the Westbrook families of Marengo County, I found Moses Westbrook and son James came from North Carolina and James might have died in the Civil War.

The name of the county was suggested by Judge Abner Lipscombe, and was given as a compliment to the first white settlers, expatriated French citizens and commemorative of Napoleon's great victory at Marengo over the Austrian armies on 1800 June 14. Marengo County is situated in the west-central part of the state. It is bordered by Hale, Greene, Perry, Dallas, Wilcox, Clarke, Choctaw and Sumter counties. The county seat was originally known as "Town of Marengo." In 1823 the name was changed to Linden, a shortened version of "Hohenlinden," scene of a French victory in Bavaria in 1800. Other towns and communities include Demopolis, where French expatriates settled and formed the Vine and Olive Colony, Myrtlewood and Sweet Water. Courthouse fires occurred in 1848 and 1965.

Researching John Brooks, born 1837,son of Hans
Letter sent to Clarence, son of Sissy Brooks:
Seek info. on John Brooke(s) bn c 1810 and family. John Brooke was bn in Holland and wife in France whose name is unknown. They came to the U.S. about 1841 and it's believed they lived in PA. The parents died possibly prior to l850 from unknown causes and left four young children: John (bn cl837); Edward; Henry and Christine. A guardian was appointed and Christine was adopted. John (bn cl837) is my gtgt grandfather. He was taught the tailoring trade and moved to Columbia, TN about l860. Nothing is known on the other siblings except one brother had a son named Abraham L. Brooke (bn cl866 - l870's) who is thought to have lived in Reading, PA. Apparently all siblings except John lived in PA. My gt Aunt, Lula Brooks Wiltshire bn l874 stated her sister Nora Brooks Hines bn l86l had corresponded with her first cousin Abraham L. Brooke but they later lost contact. He is thought to have never married. My mother is a Brooks. Any info. appreciated. I live in Montgomery, AL. Thanks.
I recently found Abraham L. Brook on the l880 census in Northumberland Co., PA. His age given is l7 thus born l862-63. He is living in household of Frank Miller age 28 or 38(?) and wife Catherine age 39. Apparently Catherine is Abraham Brook's mother and a widow who remarried Mr. Miller. Catherine could have had other children living away from home in l880. There are no Miller children listed. Mr. Miller worked for the railroad and Abraham Brook may have also
Grandfather Robert Warner Brooks was born in 1918 to Robert Warner Brooks (born 1886 in Philadelphia to a Francis Brooks and Georgianna Jones) and Carrie Kanouse of Nesquehoning, Carbon County.Francis Brooks was born in Philadelphia to John S Brooks(~1840, a retail grocer)and Sarah?.I know Francis Brooks lived in Upper Darby as did his brother Harry.My Grandfather's sister lived in Sunbury/Muncy area for years, most of his family remained in the Summit Hill area - Carbon County.My Grandfather often talked about his Aunts and Uncles from Philadelphia area visiting frequently.As the W. as a middle name drew my attention to your post, could this be a connection=========

Montgomery County was created December 6, 1816, by the Mississippi Territory General Assembly and was named in honor of Major Lemuel Putnam Montgomery who was killed in the Battle of Horseshoe Bend in 1814.
The city of Montgomery was voted in 1846 to become the permanent state capitol. The first Capitol Building was completed in December 1847. In December 1849 this building burned. Money was appropriated in 1850 to rebuild. Over the years, the Capitol Building was added to and remodeled.
In 1861, Jefferson Davis was sworn in as President of the Confederate States of America in Montgomery, the first capital of the CSA. Montgomery County was represented in this new government by William Parish Chilton (1810 – 1871), former Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court. In 1886, the first electric streetcar system for our nation was installed here. The nation's first flight school for powered was founded here in 1910 by the Wright Brothers Rosa Parks simple act of taking a seat in the front of the bus after a very tiring day took place in Montgomery in 1955. Dr. Martin Luther King's 1965 march from Selma was to Montgomery ended at the state capitol steps. Montgomery has been a center for many firsts in our country
Montgomery County is the fourth largest of the 67 counties in the state of Alabama. Only Jefferson, Mobile, and Madison counties have larger populations. Montgomery County's population, according to the 1990 census was 209,085.
Montgomery County has a very colorful background. Settlers first began to populate the area in the early 1800s. The county of Montgomery was created by an Act of the Legislature of the Mississippi Territory on December 6, 1816. It was carved out of Monroe County and originally embraced the whole of central Alabama, east of the ridge dividing the Tuscaloosa and Tombigbee Rivers from the Cahaba River, west of the Okfuskee and Coosa, and south of the mountains of Blount. However, it was soon subdivided and portions were set apart which made up Elmore, Bullock, and Crenshaw counties.
Montgomery County was named in memory of Major Lemuel P. Montgomery, of Virginia, who fell at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, on March 27, 1814. He was shot in the head by a Redstick musketball, becoming the first man to die in the battle. A statue of Major Montgomery graces the entrance of the Montgomery County Courthouse, located at 251 S. Lawrence St.
The lands of Montgomery County were put up for auction at the Federal Land Office in Milledgeville, Georgia in 1816. Larger parcels were sold to developers who subdivided the land into lots for urban commercial and residential use, predetermining a major city on the banks of the Alabama River at Montgomery.
A hardy and superior class of people penetrated the wilderness. Settlements and towns sprang into existence everywhere. The City of Montgomery, which became the county seat in 1822, was built on the side of the Indian town Ikanatchati (Econachatee), which means red ground, and Towasa on a high red bluff known to Alibamu Indians as Chunnaanaauga Chatty. Hernando DeSoto and his troops, who passed near Montgomery in the autumn of 1540, were the first Europeans to visit this region.
When the Alabama Lands were offered for sale in 1817, two groups of speculators made their initial payments. One group, a company of Georgians led by General John Scott, bought the area along the river bluff and called it "Alabama Town." Later, a second group, led by Andrew Dexter, bought the area bounded by present day Court, Ripley, Scott, and Jefferson Streets and named it "New Philadelphia." The Georgians abandoned the Alabama Town and built the town of East Alabama, in competition.
A bitter rivalry between the two groups was finally terminated when the two towns were merged under the name Montgomery. Incorporated December 3, 1819, eleven days before Alabama was admitted into the Union, the city of Montgomery was named in honor of Major Richard Montgomery of Revolutionary War fame, who lost his life in the Arnold expedition against Quebec.
