William BROOKSHIRE, b. 1730, Dorchester, Charles County , Maryland , d. 1779, , Rowan, North Carolina (Age 49 years) |
| Married |
- There are many researchers who assert that William's wife was Mary Sarah Honour:
* Born: Abt 1732, Virginia or North Carolina, USA
* Marriage: William Brookshire Sr. in 1750 in North Carolina, USA
* Died: 1789, Rowan or Randolph County, North Carolina, USA about age 57
* Buried: Rowan County, North Carolina, USA.
However, I can find no compelling proof regarding Mary Sarah Honour. I have found no parents or siblings for her, nor any type of official record, such as marriage, probate, etc.
There is some evidence, however, that a woman named Honour Burk was married to man named William Brookshire; her father's will refers to a son-in-law named William Brookshire.
Therefore, my conclusion, at this time, is that Honour Burk is William's wife.
