1. | Brooke, Susannah (daughter of Brooke, Edmund and Whiting, Harriet). Notes: Sarah L. Brooke, daughter of Dr. Lawrence Brooke, U. S. Navy, married John Wishart Taliaferro, of which marriage there were ten children. Mary Brooke, daughter of Edmund Brooke, of "Stepney," was the second wife of Hay Taliaferro, of which marriage there were four children. This Edmund was a son of Robert Brooke III, who was the oldest son of Robert Brooke, Jr. (" Knight of the Golden Horseshoe"); his mother was Mary, daughter of William Fauntleroy, and his wife was Harriet Whiting. He was a Revolutionary officer, was in the Virginia Legislature, l798-'9, and voted against Mr. Madison's celebrated resolutions, (Howison's History of Virginia.) It was in his possession that Judge Brooke (his first cousin) says he had often seen the gold horseshoe that was given by Governor Spotswood, in 1716, to Robert Brooke, Jr. The late W. W. Corcoran, of Washington, D. C., said that Edmund Brooke (who then lived in Georgetown) had often shown him the horseshoe. An older sister of the present writer has told him that when she was a young girl, in the summer of 1856, while on a visit to "St. Julien" (home of Mr. Francis T. Brooke), she was shown that horseshoe and had it in her hands several times. What it was doing at "St. Julien " she did not know. It had then been in the family about Mo years, but seems now to be lost. Edmund Brooke and Harriet Whiting certainly had the following children (there may have been others): (i) Mary, married Hay Taliaferro; (2) Susannah, married Dr. Brewer, of Georgetown, D. C.; issue: Mrs. Thomas Carter, Mrs. Harriet Getty, Miss Matilda Brewer and Mrs. Graves. (3) Edmund Brooke, an officer in the U. S. N.; (4) Dr. Mathew Whiting Brooke (educated in medicine in Edinburgh), married a daughter of Warner Lewis,of "Warner Hall," Gloucester county; issue of Dr. Matthew Whiting Brooke and his wife, Elizabeth Lewis, is as follows: (i) Dr. John Lewis Brooke, m. Maria Louisa Ashby; (2) Elizabeth, m. May 15, 1834, Henry Marshall; (3) Courtney, m. November 12, 1836, Robert Selden; (4) Mary Lewis, m. Richard Byrd, of Gloucester. The late Rev. John Ambler, when rector of the Episcopal church in Morgantown, W. Va., told the present writer that he attended the marriage of Elizabeth Brooke to Mr. Henry Marshall, and also the marriage of Courtnay Brooke to Robert Selden, and that Elizabeth, Courtney and Mary Lewis Brooke were three of the prettiest women in the State.
