      • 1870 Bullskin, Fayette, Pennsylvania - Servent. [age 22] born c.1848.
      Died Yes, date unknown 
      Notes 
      • Charles Brinker Brooks: on his death certificate states David Brooks is his father and his mother is Elizabeth Whipkey.

        1870 Census we see David & Elizabeth in PA age 22 born c.1848.

        Daniel Brooks was born c.1839.
        There is an obituary which clearly states he was married to Mrs Elizabeth Brinker.
        When Elizabeth dies her Obituary states: Her son was Charles B Brooks.
        Death Certificate for Elizabeth Brooks states her husband was Daniel Brooks.

        Suggestions are: Elizabeth 1st Married David Brooks he died after Charles Brooks was born.
        Elizabeth then marries John Brinker and Charles has taken his Surname for a while [then seen as Charles Brinker Brooks].
        After John Brinker dies Elizabeth then marries Daniel Brooks hence the documentation.

        AT DNA suggests Daniel Brooks is not the father of Charles Brinker Brooks.
        YDNA shows descendants of David Brooks are closely related to Descendants of Daniel Brooks so is David Brooks another younger son of Joseph or a Grandson of Joseph or a Nephew ?
        estimated shared common ancestor is a man who lived between 1710 & 1790.



        More BIGY tests from Male descendants of Joseph Brooks would be helpful.
