claimed to have emigrated from White county, Illinois "It is of interest
that the maiden name of this widow whom I married was ODell Holbrook. So
when she married me she just changed one letter in her original name, from
Holbrook to Halbrook. The tradition of our family, as I was told by my
great uncle, is that back in England the names were variations in the same
family and had the same root. In the Government Archives we found the
name of George Halbrooks, he added the letter 's' to his name, and had
applied for a Revolutionary War pension. He was from Surry county, North
Carolina, where my own great grandfather [William Halbrook] was born, and
was probably his father. When he made his application he had moved to
Gibson county, Indiana [southwest Indiana, south of Vincennes]. Now my
wife's grandfather, Lewis Holbrook, claimed to have emigrated from White
county, Illinois, [southeast Illinois] which is adjacent to Gibson county.
So it is quite likely that the two families have a common origin, the
spelling having been changed meanwhile." (from William Erwin Halbrook's "A
School Man of the Ozarks", p151-152)
