Hello Ms. Glenn,
I'm a descendant of a John Oliver Brooks, who lived in
Independence County, AR (Liberty) as of the 1860 census. He was born in
1818, and had come from Weakley Co TN after 1857. He had moved to
Stoddard Co, MO by 1870.
Do you have any further information about him while he was
in AR? He supposedly served during the Civil War (side?). His wife
was Lavina Park Brooks.
Thank you for any information that you might have.
