BIOGRAPHICAL:
 "Samuel Brooks is the son of Rachel Belden (name taken from her first master), who was brought to Oregon by Daniel Delaney of Waldo Hills. She was purchased to care for his ailing wife and later was enumberated on the census records as Rachel Delany until her marriage to Nathan Brooks 15 Sep 1863. She had 4 children in Oregon and I believe her first born, Noah Newman Delany, was the son of Daniel Delany. Part of the reason I believe this to be true is because after his death his estate was sued for $1000 on behalf of Noah. None of her other children were mentioned in the suit. Samuel was the second to youngest. I have never seen Rachel mentioned under Shoemaker unless she married after 1910 where she was 90 years old and still listed as Rachel Brooks."
