My great grandfather's name was Samuel Holbrook and his wife was named Martha (Mattie) Cobb. My grandfather, Charles Luther Holbrook, was one of his children. They are listed on the Forsyth County 1900 census, but I need to know more information about them. Can anyone help me out? I don't know of any relatives that were members of this family. I know Luther had several brothers--Jess, Claude, Roy--and a sister named Rachel. There were others, but I don't know their names. HELP! I've reached a dead end.

Hi,
Your Samuel and my Holbrook ancestor, Henrietta, were siblings. I have Samuel's children and ancestors, but no other info on samuel's descendants. Maybe we can share info. Contact me by e-mail.

I'll be happy to share the information I have with you. Please give me your e-mail address. Just send me a message at junebug22044@yahoo.com and I can e-mail you. Thanks.

This is what I have on your family. Samuel Holbrooks' father, Greenberry Holbrook was the brother to my great, great, great, grandfather Samuel Asbury Holbrook.

There may be a book on the Holbrook Family in the Forsyth Co. Library. If not, the book is at the R. T. Jones Regional Library in Canton, Ga.

Thank you for the information. I really appreciate it and will look in the library in Cumming for the book. If it's not there, I'll try Canton

Homer Howell, who married Mae Holbrook descendant of Samuel Holbrook per Wayne's posted info, is in my family tree. His second wife is still living and is about 94. Email me if you want more info.

Marylin Howell Cain,
Send me a list of your descendants from Mae Holbrook-Howell and I will add them to my database.
