I am looking for info on the Brook families who were members of the Pleasant Grove Baptist Church (PGBC). There are quite a few Brook's buried in the PGBC cemetery. I am specifically looking for William Henry Harrison Brook (son of Henry and Sarah Brook of Coweta Co., GA) who married Pernesia M. Puckett. Several of W.H.H. Brook's brothers also went to the Pleasant Grove B.C., including Wiley Venson Brook, Jessie Gideon Brook, Willis Callaway Brook, Jeremiah Marvin Brook, and Meriwether Loderick Hill Brook. The Church minutes lists all of these guys as members, at one time or another from 1871 up through 1908.
I am interested in finding out whether or not Wm. Henry Harrison Brook and Pernesia Puckett Brook are buried in the Church cemetery. They are not listed in the cemetery index. Their daughter is, however. Her name was L. Pearl Brook (1878-1898), wife of W.H. Thornton. Next to Pearl are two unmarked graves. Could these possibly be WHH and Pernesia? I have not located obits for any of these folks yet.
My g grandfather, Albert Tucker Brook, was a member of the Pleasant Grove Baptist Church, but asked for a letter of dismission in 1894, and then married Sarah "Lizzie" Lassetter at the Friendship Baptist Church (in Douglas Co., GA??) in 1896. A.T. Brook and his sister, L. Pearl Brook are listed in the membership roll at the PGBC. There are also some W.H. Brook's listed, but the minutes never spell out the initials, so I'm not sure if that could be my William Henry Harrison Brook. Also on the membership roll is a Pearlie Brook (along with a Pearl Brook). Could that be a nickname for Pernesia?
Does anyone know who any of the following Brook's are (as given in the Pleasant Grove Baptist Church Minutes, and in the cemetery index): J.A. Brook, C.L. Nedley Brook, E.A. Brook, A.E. Brook, B.E. Brook, Beatrice Brook, R.E. Brook and S.O. Brook? The church minutes mentions Sisters E.A. Brook, A.E. Brook, R.E. Brook, and Beatrice Brook, so obviously these are women.
One of the W.H. Brook's listed in the minutes was a William Henry Brook (b. in 1867) who married a Malydia Ann Benford. Who were William Henry's parents? Possibly one of W.H.H.'s brothers?
Albert Tucker Brook is shown in the 1900 and 1910 Carroll Co. census. I am not sure if any of the others are.
Any help with any of these lines would be appreciated.
