General Notes

History of New London" shows Hanna's father as Thomas Brooks and mother as Grace Wheeler . - "Compendium of Genealogy" v3 p662 shows Hannah's father as Henry Brooks.
Note: Henry Brooks was a resident of Concord Ma in 1639. He married and had children prior to arriving in Woburn Ma about 1650. anther reference says born in 1592, Suffolk, England. He was a clothier and a selectman several years. He purchased a frame house and 178 acres of land at Horn Pond in Woburn from William Brackenbury of Charlestown on 20 Dec 1650. In a suit brought in Dec 1658 Henry testified that he was then about 66 years old; twenty-four years later in his will he described himself as stricken in years and about 91 years old. In Woburn records of 1678, Henry's homestead estate is described as located on South Street (presently lower Main Street). Henry's will, dated 18 Jul 1682, names his wife Anne, son-in-law John Mousall, sons John Timothy and Isaac, and daughters Sarah and Ann, and `Lestor' (i.e. Ann, wife of Andrew Lester). Henry had at least 3 and perhaps 4 wives. Last one mentioned was Ann in will, married 6 days before the will. I have accepted Grace Wheeler as most probably mother of John and Mary
