son of William Matthew Brooks 1850–1887
Nancy King 1858–1896
He was orphaned at a young age and then placed in several homes with one being the Nobles family. When they died, he then was placed elsewhere. The Nobles left their estate to Riley. There is no documentation of the Nobles adopting Riley. When living with the Nobles, he at some point started using their name.
But he was born a Brooks.
Thank you, Susan
