The Centennial History of Rush County published this information in the biography for Robert's son, James Milton Brooks:
"...Robert Brooks was a young man when he went to Ohio, and there met and married Ellen Templeton, the couple subsequently coming to Indiana and locating in Ripley township, this county. Here the father entered 160 acres of land from the United States Government, and was engaged in farming thereon during the remainder of his life. A man of industry, he developed a valuable property, and by reason of his integrity and good citizenship won a high place in the esteem and confidence of the people of his community. He and his wife, who like her husband was held in the highest respect, were the parents of three children, of whom only James M. now survives."
