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.

  • Bishop James Brooks
    The arms and seal of James Brooks (1512-1558), third Bishop of Gloucester (1554-1558) The Society’s Badge by Lez Hough - Journal 2, Gloucestershire (and North Avon) Catholic History Society, February 1987 At an early meeting of the society’s standing committee it was decided that a badge should be devised for the society which would incorporate the arms of James Brooks, the Marian Bishop of Gloucester, as its principal element. I undertook to produce a design, and this the committee has now accepted. Being an armorist rather than a historian, it is with some diffidence that I offer the following thumb-nail sketch of Bishop Brooks; details can be read in, for example, the Dictionary of National Biography, and it may well be that one of my colleagues will wish to write more fully about him in due course. James Brooks – so spelt in the D.N.B., and which looks less angular than Broks, the version which heraldry books seem to prefer – was born in 1512 in Hampshire, studied at Oxford from 1528, and pursued an academic career there, becoming Vice-Chancellor of the University in 1552. He lived through the turbulence of the reigns of Henry VIII and Edward VI without apparently attracting much attention, but his appointment as chaplain to Bishop Stephen Gardiner of Winchester probably indicates where his religious sympathies lay throughout these years. Shortly after Mary I’s accession he was elected Bishop of Gloucester, received his consecration in Saint Saviour’s Church, now Southwark’s Anglican Cathedral, and was invested with the temporalities of his new see in May 1554.

  • The 1812 Streets of Cambridgeport
    The 1812 Streets of Cambridgeport The Last Battle of the Revolution Less than a quarter of a century after the close of the American Revolution, Great Britain and the United States were again in conflict. Britain and her allies were engaged in a long war with Napoleonic France. The shipping-related industries of the neutral United States benefited hugely, conducting trade with both sides. Hundreds of ships, built in yards on America’s Atlantic coast and manned by American sailors, carried goods, including foodstuffs and raw materials, to Europe and the West Indies. Merchants and farmers alike reaped the profits. In Cambridge, men made plans to profit from this brisk trade. “[T]he soaring hopes of expansionist-minded promoters and speculators in Cambridge were based solidly on the assumption that the economic future of Cambridge rested on its potential as a shipping center.” The very name, Cambridgeport, reflected “the expectation that several miles of waterfront could be developed into a port with an intricate system of canals.” In January 1805, Congress designated Cambridge as a “port of delivery” and “canal dredging began [and] prices of dock lots soared." [1] Judge Francis Dana, a lawyer, diplomat, and Chief Justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, was one of the primary investors in the development of Cambridgeport. He and his large family lived in a handsome mansion on what is now Dana Hill. Dana lost heavily when Jefferson declared an embargo in 1807. Britain and France objected to America’s commercial relationship with their respective enemies and took steps to curtail trade with the United States.

Abramowicz: Tax Experimentation TAX EXPERIMENTATION Michael Abramowicz* Abstract Random experiments could allow the government to test tax policies before they are enacted into general law. Such experiments can be revenue-neutral, with the tax authority ensuring ex post that average tax revenues received from taxpayers in the treatment and control groups are equal. Taxpayers might thus volunteer even for experiments that would broaden the tax base, for example by eliminating deductions. Continued participation by taxpayers in such experiments would indicate that the proposed reforms are efficient at least if externalities are disregarded. Non-revenue-neutral experiments raise greater concerns about horizontal inequity, but they may be helpful in addressing questions about effects of tax rates and in increasing participation.
