Hi, I don't know how helpful my info will be because I don't have all my info and can't say for sure it's fact. My great grandmother was Jesse Leona Brooks. I knew her as a kid. She lived to her nineties. I hear that her grand parents raised her but don't have any info on her parents. From what another relative found on the web it is possible her grand parents were Freelove Slocum and Nathaniel Brooks.
