Mississippi Probate Records Adams County Wills 1802-1812 vol 1 page 18 (found on page 60/645)

John Brooks, Esq., deeded his lands to his children and the deeds were presented to the Courts in November 1767, proved by the oath of Thomas Brooks, and ordered to be recorded. An estate sale in Orange Cty in 1762 refers to him as "Old Brooks." It is evident that he was born about 1690 and died about 1766 or 67. Records indicate that he might have had a daught4r, Martha Goodman. When John Brooks deeded gifts of land to his sons, he also deeded land to Martha Goodman. She was the wife of Samuel Goodman and they lived in Cumberland Cty. Records show they sold several large tracts of land there. On 4/28/1768, they sold Arthur Mabson of New Hanover Cty, NC., land in Cumberland Cty, joining the Rutherford plantation. In 1764 he sold the Hannah Goodman plantation in Cumberland Cty. Their daughter, Hannah Goodman, married Micajah Terrell, a brother of Ruth (Terrell) Brooks. In 1768 Joab Brooks presented a land dispute to the Courts against Samuel Goodman and the courts settled the case in favor of Joab Brooks. It is interesting to note that we find them in the same section of SC with members of the Brooks family. On 2/19/1788, John Williams of Laurens Cty., SC sold Samuel Goodman his original grant of 1765.
