Hi Chris Here is the reason for all this....1800/1814/1820 census Oneida Co.and cemetery records The lineage of Henry Brooks d 1713 in New Haven, CT Thomas May 27, 1679 in New Haven, CT. Stephen b May 29 1703 in New Haven, CT Abraham b b April 22, 1743 in New Haven d March 16, 1805 in STEUBEN CO., NY Or is it Farmington, NY he m Deborah Hungerford..children Vasti 1767; Jerusha 1772; Cyrus 1773; Abraham 1775; Deborah 1781; Orrin 1786 Stephen May 13, 1769 Steuben Co., NY This Stephen m Rachel Sperry ....died in Steuben Co., NY on June 19, 1849 and was buried in Steuben Corners Cemetery, Steuben, Oneida Co., NY his son ...Charles Sanford was born in Steuben, Oneida Co., NY on Feb 3 1794 his son C. S. Brooks b abt 1830 in Steuben, Oneida Co., NY moved to Calhoun Co., MI in 1850 - 1870 census. *********************************************************************** At this point we see that two areas of NY are involved...if its not an error. Prior to Charles moving to Oneida Co. Steuben TWP they were listed as in Steuben Co. *********************************************************************** more from 1814 census...Steuben TWP, Oneida Co., NY Abraham Brooks was a land owner Orrin Brooks was a land owner *********************************************************************** It appears that John W Brooks b 10/22/1831 , Cyrus Brooks b abt 1833, may be sons of Charles S. Abraham above ..a son Abraham jr. b abt 1760 and Charles S above may have children OR Isaac and Albert may be brothers of Charles Sanford Brooks Albert b abt 1806 In Steuben, Oneida Co., NY ..sons Albert B b 1835 and Henry E moved to MI Isaac b abt 1806 in Steuben, Oneida Co. NY ..sons Albert 1835, Henry 1838, Benjamin 1836, Charles Livingston b 1834 all b in Steuben, Oneida Co., NY moved to MI ************************************************************************ Brooks buried in Steuben TWP, Oneida Co. NY Steuben Corners Cemetery Anna M Brooks 1868 - 1958 Anne A Brooks wife of John W Brooks 1833 - 1883 Fanny Brooks wife of Rev Charles S. Brooks 1794 - 1850 John W Brooks 1831 - 1901 Mary C Brooks daughter of Rev Charles S.

I can assume dates etc but not sure of parentage. What do you think ??
