Individual Details
SARAH B. "SALLIE" BROOKES
( - )
Apparently the wife of William Holderness was Sarah Brooks. A daughter of Thomas Brooks, the next door neighbor. That would further explain the closeness between these two families. Would also explain why Robert was referred to as a nephew of Jonathan Brooks and a grandson of Thomas in other documents. Middle initial "B" came from Holderness book.
1810 Caswell Co NC Census, p.20: Sarah "Holdness", 1 female over 45; 1m 10-16; 2m 16-26; If Robert Holderness was 50 when he died in 1833, he was born ca 1783 so would have been 26/27 in this Census; he did not marry until 1819. Daughter Sally married in February of 1810 so would not have been counted with her mother in this household. 8 Slaves.
