I'm passing this on from Jeffrey Lash, a new subscriber, as a combination query and self-introduction. The Elizabeth whose identity is sought was the 1st wife of Gilbert /1 Brooks, a passenger with his brother William to Scituate in the "Blessing" in 1635. Jeffrey descends from Gilbert's daughter Sarah/2, who m. Thomas GRANT. Chris ================================= Thanks for the additional information on Gilbert Brooks's wife Elizabeth; however, I'm still uncertain if she was indeed a daughter of Moses Symonson. I guess we'll have to keep working on this puzzle. Yes, go ahead and put me on your Brooks list. As to Sarah Brooks's issue, she had many children by Thomas Grant who had been exiled to Massachusetts as a slave (or a captured English Civil War soldier) in May 1652. Their youngest son, David Grant, is my lineal ancestor. David Grant removed to New Jersey where he had John Grant of Basking Ridge, NJ. His son, Capt. George Grant, was a Revolutionary War soldier (his name appears on a military map drawn by Gen. George Washington) and who fathered Joseph Grant who was the father of Rebecca, the mother of my great-grandfather Wellington S. Lash. Anyway, Sarah was born about 1654 before Gilbert left Scituate for Rehoboth in SW Mass. That's where she met the freed slave Thomas Grant. Jeffrey Lash
