Notes for MICAJAH BROOKS:
Micajah was 101 years old when he died.
His mother sent him to the mill when he was an overgrown boy of fourteen. He met up with recruiting officers, left his horse and meal, joined the Army, and wasn't heard of for 7 years. They thought he was dead. Evidently Micajah was remembering his old home in Chatham Co.,N.C. and the girl he left behind, and this was an opportunity to get back to the land of his nativity. The trek back was long and hard. He stopped in South Carolina where he had kinsmen living, and enlisted for more service. Then went on to Chatham Co., N.C. and married before returning home. He returned to N.C. during the Revolution, about 1785.
The cemetery in which Micajah Brooks is buried was given by his son-in-law, Woodson Hubbard, as a family burying ground about 1850.
