Notes:

A letter written by Thomas Brooks Johnson, Feb. 18, 1833 from Eddy Grove, Caldwell Co., KY when he was 18 to his Uncle and Aunt, presumably Betsey Johnson Moore of Paris, TN states "Grandfather Brooks (Thomas) died last fall, was a year or about a year ago, and Grandmother (Susannah Teague Brooks) is very low." Thomas Brooks is said to have died in 1831. According to this letter, Susannah Teague Brooks would still be living in 1833 in Eddy Grove, KY. Another old letter in descendants from this family transcribes the following old Johnson bible. "In Uncle Davi (?) old Bible I find" and she goes on to list the names of the "Children of Thomas and Susannah Brooks." Tabitha was born May the 4th (74?), Mary was born January 31st 17(?), Thomas was born May the 6th 17(?), Elijah was born Feb. 15th 1782, Jesse was born Sept 23rd, David was born Jun. 25th 1787, Mary was born Feb. 16th 1789, Elizabeth was born Oct 22 1794, Susannah was born Oct 22 1794, Rebechah was born Oct 21 98, "The dates are so moth-eaten and worn away I can not make them out." This last quote was from Mary Beard Smith Johnson to her mother-in-law, Susannah Johnson.
