This family appears to live between Marshallville and
Mon-tezuma, not near any other Brooks family. None of
this Brooks family found in the Macon County Cemeteries.
They always lived by John Young and Daniel Haugabook.
There is a Young Family Cem. Now in bad condition, was
partially restored by family members but no Brooks
markers are there. Very likely should be.
