Maggie N. Wilkins married Finis Bates Brooks in 1890 in Uvalde, Texas. This is all we know about Miss Maggie N. Wilkins. There must be more someone knows. There just has to be!
Finis married a Lucinda Belle Bowles in 1876. She died in 1890 and he married Miss Maggie N. Wilkins. 10 yrs. later, he married a Georgia Ann Brazil Wagoner, my greatgrandmother. Finis and Georgia were my mother's grandparents. My mother's mother was one of Finis and Georgia's children, Beulah.

I Do know that Finis B. Brooks also had at least one more wife named Vera? Finis B. Brooks died in 1947, and is buried in a cemetery in Wetumka , Okla, where he lived many years. He is buried between Georgia and Vera.H e was my Grat Grandfather's brother. My Great grandfather was Richard Julius Brooks.Finis ia listed on the 1910 census of Haskell County, Texas with several children at age 66. Sure was a fiesty fellow. There was a set of 2 year old twins in that bunch. He married once in Indian territory to his last wife, and is listed on marriages for indian Territory.

Thanks for your comments and interesting info. I have never heard of Vera. Do you have any photos with this Vera and Finis? Any idea where she came from or about her last name?
This is so interesting, and a little bit bizarre. No one in my family has ever heard anything about a Vera. From whom did you know about Vera? Do you have any photos or someone else we might be able to talk to who remembers Vera?
Thanks!

So let me get this straight. Finis was your ggf's brother, is that right? Well, where was Finis born and who were his parents and where did they live and who were his siblings and--golly, I just feel so blessed to have the opportunity to talk with someone who knew so much about him and his family and everything! Finis died in my grandmother's home in Okmulgee. My gramma Beulah Essie Idonia Brooks Webb died in 1998. Do you know if any of her siblings are still alive? Or could you send thir survivors my email address, timespeech@yahoo? That would be so great. My own family was shrinking til I started msg.ing to Ancestry.com. I know it's corny, but I feel so loved!

How can I see that 1910 Census report on Finis Brooks without subbing to this?
Plus I find no listing of a Vera Brooks on Find-A-Grave.
My cousins who live in Oklahoma may be able to go to the Wetumka Cemetary to check into it for me.
Thanks.

Why are there so many differing birthdates and deathdates?
Some tell me he died in 1947, some say 1942. Does anyone know for sure?

Do you have any photos of Finis younger than 50?
Thanks.
