Sarah is the only known daughter or son of Jordan Brooks who is notlisted in Jordan’s will which was written in 1835. However, censuses indicatethat Jordan Brooks and Mary (Cruse) Brooks had other daughters (born 1784 to1800) and “Brooks Family History” clearly shows that Jordan Brooks had adaughter named Sarah who married Joel Jackson. Because Sarah married in1808, it is believed that she was born between 1784 and 1790 in either Virginiaor South Carolina. “Early Records of Putnam County, Georgia” show that SarahBrooks married Joel Jackson on March 24, 1808 in Putnam County, Georgia.According to “Brooks Family History,” Joel and Sarah Jackson were the parentsof at least six children:............Carter Jackson............Andrew Jackson............Jasper Jackson............Newton Jackson
