Preston's first wife was also a Martha, Martha C. Miller b. 1865 d. 1880. She is reported buried in the Antioch Meth Ch Cem in Easley, SC. She was the youngest child of Tillman S. Miller b. June 16, 1800 d. Oct. 14, 1871 buried @ Georges Creek Baptist Church Cem. and Sarah Caroline Wines b. 1819 d. June 15, 1899 also buried @ Georges Creek Baptist Church Cem., Easley, SC.

Preston Brooks and Martha Miller had one child, Martha Eulalah (Lula) Brooks b. 1878 d. 1906 married Robert Posey Addington. She is listed as the child of Preston's second wife, Martha Jane Shore. This is incorrect. When Martha Miller passed away, their daughter was not yet 2 years old, Preston left his daughter to be raised by his Father and Mother, Thomas Warren Brooks, Sr. and Eliza Ann Pulliam Brooks in Liberty, Pickens Co., SC.

I am not sure how to fix this incorrect information on Find A Grave.
