Sorry don't mind me, I want to keep all of James research on this page. Thanks to Mr. George for his help thus far.

In the 1910 census said he can read and write and all of the census say born in Tenn, yet the Tenn death record said born in ILLINOIS.

James Brooks b: 1833 Merchant / Farmer

Not him,------- Home in 1850: District 2, Union, Illinois, USA

Not him----- he is still there in 1870.....home in 1850: District 6, Shelby, Tennessee, USA

The birth is 4 years off ---- NAME: James Brooks
BIRTH: abt 1829 - Tennessee
RESIDENCE: 1850 - District 9, Williamson, Tennessee

This birth is one year off ---- Birth Year: abt 1832
Birthplace: Tennessee
Home in 1850: Hardeman, Tennessee, USA

Not him --- this man moved to Lee, VA and died there, --- Home in 1850: Subdivision 7, Claiborne, Tennessee, USA

I still can't find the correct 1850 or 1860 census, I'm still looking. I'm not giving up.
