Multiple records show Pearl's father was James Faubion of Williamson County, Texas, but DNA has proven this to be incorrect. At this time the identity of her father is a mystery. DNA has also proven that her oldest child was fathered by Lewis Woodfin Kitchens, not Oscar Lee Brooks.
Following the sudden death of her husband in 1926, Pearl was left a widow with six children between the ages of 8 months and 10 years. Pearl died just three years later, leaving the six children (by then, ages 3 to 13) orphans.
The six children were adopted by five different couples around the state of Oklahoma, and their names were changed. Their birth names, adoptive names, and links to their memorials are listed below:
James Rufus Brooks (NOT a biological child of Oscar Lee Brooks; adopted as JAMES LOUIS BARTON)
Oscar Lee Brooks, Jr. (adopted as LEE SAMUEL BARTON)
Ellen Inez Brooks (adopted as VIRGINIA INEZ CALLAHAN)
Billie Gene Brooks (adopted as BILL HASTINGS ROGERS)
Dorothy Laverne Brooks (adopted as DOROTHEA WALKER)
Norma Joyce Brooks (adopted as NORMA JOYCE RICHARDS)
