Legal
Documents Concerning the case of Ezekiel Brooks vs. Siddy Brooks and other Documents Relating to the Jacob Green Family
These
documents contain much genealogical information and give us a unique insight
into lives that seem so much like those we lead today. These documents were sent to me by Jim S. Brooks of
Spartanburg, SC. He began his research
through his ancestor, Jesse Bradford Brooks who left Ansonville
in 1831 for "Grassy Pond," SC now in Cherokee County, SC and then in Spartanburg County, SC. Please let him
know how much he is appreciated by his efforts in procuring these
documents! Thanks, Jim!
