I wanted to updated my original post from 10+ years ago. William Henry Harrison Brook was the son of Henry Brook and Sarah Brooks Brook. Harrison was born in August, 1840 in Oglethorpe Co., GA and is shown in the 1850 and 1860 census living in Henry's household. His Civil War records have him as William Henry H. Brook, or Wm. H. H. Brook. He is often confused with an older brother, William Brook (married Mary Brasil), who was killed in the Battle of Jonesboro. This William Brook may have been William R. Brook, and is buried in the Stonewall Confederate Cemetery in Griffin, GA. Henry Brook was the son of Gilbert Brook and Rachel Beavers. Gilbert was the son of Preston Brook.

I have not located this family in the 1870 census, or found anything on William Henry Harrison Brook after 1883. Their daughter, L. Pearl Brook, is buried in the Pleasant Grove Baptist Church Cemetery in Carroll Co., GA. There are two unmarked graves beside her.

Known issue of Henry Brook and Sarah Brooks are: William, James, Jesse Gideon, Thomas H., Elizabeth Ann, Jeremiah Marvin, Wiley Venson, Susannah A., Harrison, Roena, Almeda, Meriweather Loderick Hill, & Willis Callaway BROOK.

Would love to exchange info on any of these Brook.
