Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Here's Walter and Adeline in the 1930, 1920 and 1910 census!. You'll notice that in 1910, they had just married and were living next door to an older Jacob Brooks, apparently Walter's father!.!.!. 1930 Census – Sandy Run, Calhoun County, SC Walter Brooks – 41 – born SC – both parents born SC Adeline Brooks – wife – 40 - born SC – both parents born SC Edwin Brooks – son – 17 - born SC – both parents born SC Annie Brooks – dau – 15 - born SC – both parents born SC Robert Brooks – son – 12 - born SC – both parents born SC Walter Brooks, Jr!. – son – 7 - born SC – both parents born SC Amie Brooks – dau – 5 - born SC – both parents born SC 1920 Census – Sandy Run, Calhoun County, SC Walter Brooks – 39 - born SC – both parents born SC Adeline Brooks – wife - 27 - born SC – both parents born SC William Brooks – son – 8 - born SC – both parents born SC Edward Brooks – son – 6 - born SC – both parents born SC Annie C!.

Brooks – son – 11 mos - born SC – both parents born SC 1910 Census – Sandy Run, Calhoun County, SC Walter Brux – 24 - born SC – both parents born SC Adline Brux – wife – 19 - born SC – both parents born SC Next Door: Jacob Brux – 60 – 2nd marriage - born SC – both parents born SC Emma Brux – wife – 40 – 1st marriage - born SC – both parents born SC Maria Brux – dau – 18 - born SC – both parents born SC Jacob Brux Jr!. – son – 17 - born SC – both parents born SC Shalor Brux – son – 16 - born SC – both parents born SC Wilson Brux – son – 13 - born SC – both parents born SC Looking back to 1900, we find Walter living with his father, Jacob Brooks: 1900 Census – Sandy Run, Lexington County, SC [Note: Calhoun County was carved out of Lexington County in 1908] Jake Brooks – b!. May 1850 – 50 – SC-SC-SC Ammy Brooks – wife - b!. Oct 1852 – 48 – SC-SC-SC Silas Brooks – son – b!. Aug 1885 – 14 – SC-SC-SC Walter Brooks – son – b!.

Brooks – son – Feb 1893 – 7 – SC-SC-SC Shaler Brooks – son – Oct 1894 – 5 – SC-SC-SC Alfred Brooks – son – Dec 1896 – 3 – SC-SC-SC This census indicates that Jacob and his wife Ammy (who's probably the same person as Emma) had been married 12 years!. Since Walter is 12 years old on this census, it's unclear whether Ammy is his mother, or whether he was the son of Jacob's previous wife!. The census also states that Ammy had had 17 children, 12 of whom were living at the time!. Sounds like Ammy had some children prior to her marriage to Jacob!. That means that some of the children listed could be Ammy's children from a previous marriage/relationship!. The census *should* list those children as step-son or step-daughter, but the census taker didn't always make that designation!. also, you'll notice that the 1900 census lists Jacob as having a daughter Adeline, the same age as the Adeline who married Walter!. I could not find any other Adeline around that age living in the area!. Could this be the Adeline that Walter married!? If so, that could mean that either: a!. Walter married his sister (doubtful) b!. Walter married his 1/2 sister (possible!?!?!?) c!. Walter and this Adeline aren't really related d!. Walter married a different Adeline, who we just haven't found on the census yet You can probably find Adeline's parents' name by ordering a copy of her death certificate!. You'll need to know the approximate date and county where she died to order the record!. This website has info on how to order a death certificate: http://www!.vitalrec!.com/ Unfortunately, there is no 1890 census (it was destroyed in a fire)!. But this looks like Jacob Brooks in the 1880 census, with his first wife: 1880 Census – Sandy Run, Lexington County, SC Jacob Brooks – 28 – SC-VA-SC Juliann Brooks – wife – 27 – SC-SC-SC Rose Brooks – dau – 7 – SC-SC-SC James Brooks – son – 6 – SC-SC-SC Eddie Brooks – son – 5 – SC-SC-SC Willie Brooks – son – 3 – SC-SC-SC Starling Brooks – son – 1 – SC-SC-SC Hope this helps some!Www@QuestionHome@Com Could this be Adeline's husband, perhaps!?!?
