Jordan G. Brooks is my Great Grandfather. There are records which show he volunteered in Co. 'H', 33rd Alabama Infantry, Mar. 17, 1852, This unit was at Perryvville, KY and Murfreesboro, TN. His name is on a register of deceased on Jan. 28, 1863, following the battle on Dec. 31, 1862-Jan. 2,1863 at Murfreesboro, TN. We do not know the cause of death, where he died or where he is buried.
