Samuel Grant BROOKE/BROOKS married the first time to Bertha Harvey, who bore 3 of their children: Elizabeth, Albert and Genevive. She died sometime after the birth of Genevive between 1898 and 1900. Samuel is in the 1900 census listed as a boarder with his young children in the household of John and Sarah VINNIDER or VISSIDER. By the 1910 census, Samuel has remarried. Rachel Stryker BROOKS is his wife and all of the children, including Rachel's daughter Pearl, give the surname of BROOKS. Samuel had moved his family between the 1900 census when he was living in Loyalsock, Lycoming, Pennsylvania, to Pine Creek, Clinton, Pennsylvania by the 1910 census.
To confuse the family dynamics further, Rachel may have been a single mother (maiden name STRYKER) or married a man with surname STRYKER, but either way, Rachel lists Pierce STRYKER as her father, and her daughter Pearl was given the surname STRYKER.
