Research Notes

Samuel's first marriage was in about 1772. We don't know the name of this wife, but can speculate that she probably was a daughter of Matthew Brooks who was probably a first cousin of Samuel's aunt, Mary Brooks Gentry. He was also a close neighbor of Joseph and Samuel in 1772. [Matthew was undoubtedly part of the same Brooks family that lived with the Gentrys in Louisa and Lunenburg Counties, Virginia, and descended from Robert Brooks. This family has been discussed in somewhat more detail in volume 2, issue #6 of the Gentry Journal. Robert's brother, Richard Brooks, was the father of Sarah Brooks, wife of Joseph's uncle David, and Mary Brooks, wife of Joseph's brother, Nicholas.] The use of the name Matthew for Samuel's oldest son, and for at least three grandsons, suggests this hypothesis. Given the fact that one daughter of Samuel and his first wife, and at least four of their granddaughters were named Nancy, it is possible that Samuel's wife was Nancy Brooks.^[1]
