The first edition of this family history was printed in 1982 and included only descendants of Robert’s son, Jordan Brooks. With the discovery of the 1783 Personal Property Tax List showing Jordan Brooks living in the same household of Robert Brooks, Sr. (1), the authors became convinced that Jordan was indeed the son of Robert Brooks, Sr. (1). It appears that Jordan and his brother, Robert Brooks, Jr., were omitted from the will of Robert Brooks, Sr. (1) because they left Virginia prior to the death of Robert Brooks, Sr. (1). This book was originally based on a six page manuscript written by Susie (Brooks) Danforth in 1946. It was later discovered that Myrtle (Lackey) Ashley also had a similar manuscript which contained less interpretation and better reflected the author’s ancestry. Each manuscript contains unique information, but both appear to have been derived from the same source on the older generations of Brooks families. During an interview with Susie Danforth in 1978 (Susie was 102 at the time), it was learned that much of the information contained in her manuscript was obtained from the Family Bible of Allen Turner Brooks and Helena (Luco) Brooks (Susie’s parents). The authors have been unable to locate a copy of the information contained within this Bible and would appreciate any information which would aid in locating it. This Bible, if located, would be the only Bible which mentions the author’s direct ancestor, Jordan Brooks and several of Jor- dan’s children and their families. Abbreviated versions of Susie (Brooks) Danforth’s manuscript were published in 1963 in the book “Wimberley Legacy,” edited by Williedell Schawe and in Susie’s own book, “One Hundred Years in Wimberley,” published on her 100th birthday in 1976. Another major contributor was Kenneth H. Thomas, Jr. who was the primary re- searcher of the descendants of Jordan’s son, Isham Brooks (Ken has been the ge- nealogist columnist for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution since 1977). In addition to this input, Ken significantly contributed to many other sections of this book and deserves proper recognition for his participation in the compilation of this book. Jordan’s son, Isham Brooks and many of his descendants were published in 1950 in the book “Brooks and Kindred Families” by Ida (Brooks) Kellam. It erroneously shows that Isham Brooks was the son of John Hanna Brooks. In 1977, John M. Jones, Jr. published the book, “History of Jones and Brooks Fam- ilies of Escambia County, Alabama” which include descendants of Robert Rose Brooks, son of Robert Brooks, Sr. (1). Since publication of the first edition of this book in 1982, Bruce Montgomery Edwards published another book in 1985 worth noting, “The Brooks of Virginia.” This book provides excellent source material for future research on the ancestry of Robert Brooks, Sr. (1). The complilation of this family history (and eight other family histories of equal size) was initiated by Bernice (Brooks) Casey, co-author of this publication. Without her interest in family history, the Casey family may have never compiled any of their family histories. Although Bernice died in March of 2003, she will con- tinue to be listed as the co-author this family history because she assisted with these publications for over twenty years. BROOKS FAMILY HISTORY 7-7 INTRODUCTION continued Information has been obtained from many sources and references are listed with each descendant in order to aid future research on the future Brooks family re- searchers.

  • The History of Louder's Lane
    CHAPTER FOUR THE HISTORY OF LOUDER’S LANE Today it is called Louder’s Lane, but research has revealed that the current spelling is not correct. The lane was named for a local farming family with the surname Lowder (pronounced like the English word louder) who lived in the area from the mid-eighteenth to the mid-nineteenth century. Their ranks included Corporal John Lowder, a Roxbury minuteman who fought in the Battle of Lexington on April 19, 1775. Until the middle of the nineteenth century, Jamaica Plain was an outlying, rural part of the town of Roxbury, removed from the bustling center of the town and even more distant from the city of Boston.1 The main activity of Jamaica Plain during this time was agriculture, and its farms, orchards, and pastures supplied the needs of the urban core of Roxbury and of Boston. The central transportation artery was an unpaved road called the Upper Road to Dedham (Centre Street). It was lined with farms and widely-spaced farmhouses standing close to the road. It served as a part of the Boston Post Road for stagecoaches carrying passengers and mail between Boston and New York.2 Coming off it in a roughly westerly direction was a short “private town way,” for many years the only street off Centre Street in that direction between Pond Street and Weld Street. ORIGIN OF THE LANE’S NAME The lane was first mentioned by name in an 1827 deed in which Lucretia Lewis as administratrix of the estate of the late Jabez Lewis, victualler, sold to John Lowder, victualler, for $275 (“he being the highest bidder”) a three acre “parcel of land called the upper swale..

The Arnold Arboretum—the first public arboretum in America, and an Olmsted-designed landscape on the National Registry of Historic Places—is the only other landscape that is uniquely tied to James Arnold, a critical and pioneering figure in advancing and popularizing horticulture and gardening in New England. We are thrilled by the efforts of the James Arnold Mansion, Inc. to honor the legacy of the Arboretum’s namesake and benefactor through the restoration of his New Bedford home and its once legendary gardens as a critical historical and cultural link to the Arboretum and to the vocation of public horticulture in America. James Arnold was a renowned plantsman and founding member of the New Bedford Horticultural Society, and was noted for his work in experimental agriculture. His vision for a public museum of trees, which became a reality in Boston through his munificence, was foreshadowed by his own magnificent living collection of plants at his estate in New Bedford.

What could we expect after such a monumental remembrance the previous year? Would there be a let-down in attendance, in participation, and in general excitement and spirit? No question the 150th was a tough act to follow. With those questions in the back of everyone’s mind, still, hopes were high that 2015 could stand on its own. Indeed, the 2015 reenactment weekend did continue to build on the high standards and enduring legacy so many dedicated people over the years have set in place at our Olustee Battlefield Historic State Park. The end of the Battle of Olustee was just the beginning of a long and tense standoff. A historical favorite, Captain Winston Stephens of the 2nd Florida Cavalry, summed it up succinctly in his report - - “Our main force rests on the west side of the branch…Their main force are entrenching on the east side of Cedar Creek.” “Colquitt’s Brigade returned to Virginia, and we [4th Georgia Cavalry] were left to duty for a time, picketing around Jacksonville and the St.
