>> Robert Brookes						1

> Robert Brookes and Richard Brookes were named in their father's Will with Obadiah's wife Massilva.   From Lunenburg he migrated to South Carolina and then to Franklin County, GA where he died 6 April 1803.
> 
   Due to the loss of records during the Revolutionary War and again, during the Civil               War, we may never be able to prove Obadiah Hooper's Father.  That should not     stop our pursuit for all available facts and we welcome assistance.
