More on the Brooks Brothers and Daniel Boone
I didn't have as much time at the Warren County Heritage Society today as I'd have liked, so I didn't get to really dig into a book on Daniel Boone that I found found a few minutes before I had to leave. There were references to the scrappy Brooks brothers, though, and I learned that Thomas Brooks married Daniel's niece, Sarah Boone. According to the author of the genealogy, Thomas, William and Samuel were natives of Fauquier County, VA. A quick search online when I returned home seems to indicate that these three Brookses were descendants of a Peter Brooks, although at least one researcher says there is no proof of them having come from Fauquier.
