Hello, I have just read your post on Sarah Frances Carter, and Marion Francis Brooks. I am the great-grandaughter of this couple, grandaughter of John Wesley Brooks and Effie Parke Dowdy. Please contact me at sheilakline47@yahoo.com. I would really like to have the information that you have! I have Sarah as the daughter of Newt Carter, but that's all I have....my mom says that she was part Cherokee Indian.
