Genealogy Report

 

 

.

1.  Your kit number _____161774_____________________________

 

2.  Your name __________Edwin H. Brooks, deceased / Living representive

 

3.  Why did you join the Lost Colony project?

To see if we can complete our family history by using resources found in this group.

 

4.  How is your Y-line DNA line connected to the colonists, the surnames, Native people or the location?

 

Our Y DNA is in the process of completing testing. 

 

5.  Please provide a brief writeup (2 paragraphs to one page in length) on your line that has DNA tested! 

 

On the male side of the family, we are descended from Thomas Brooks b. 1784 in NC died 1850-1853 in Greene County TN married 2/3/1808 Mary Whittenburg in Greene County TN.  We believe he is connected to the Hyde County, NC (Hatteras Island, Lake Mattamuskeet area in NC) Brooks Families.  Ancestors buried at Gull Rock, NC.

 

Within the same general time frame, Stephen Brooks from Mattamuskeet, NC, Thomas Brooks and Christopher Brooks all came into Greene Co. TN and all married Whittenburg sisters.  I believe these three Brooks men were related, but do not have definitive proof yet.

 

The testing for yDNA has not completed, but is expected in October.
