I found proof that John Brooks married Tabitha Wright on August 16, 1711 in Swansea, Bristol, MA. The notation is in Book A, records of the town of Swansea, 1662 to 1705, edited by Alverdo Hayward Mason and published by East Braintree, Massachusetts: A.H. Mason, 1900. The book is microfilmed by the Mormons, FHL US/CAN Film (903395 Item 6). Just to the side and above her name is a notation: (New York). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christopher Brooks" <trib@tributaries.org> To: <BROOKS-NE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, April 02, 2005 1:53 PM Subject: Re: [BNE] John Brooks, son of Timothy > On Sat, 2 Apr 2005 12:38:58 -0500, Ann Kessler wrote: > > > I am looking for John Brooks, b 1662 in Woburn, who was > > the son of Timothy Brooks.

On April 2 you sent me an abstract of John's will. Thank you. It states: Cousin Mary Salisbury dau of my sister Mary Salisbury dcd. Cousin Samuel Salisbury brother of my said Mary Salisbury. Was Mary Salisbury his sister Mary Brooks b. 10 Dec 1677? Were Cousin Mary and Cousin Samuel her children? Do you have any idea how Christian Kingsley of Swansea and Mary Brown is related to him? Thank you.
