All the Brooks families at Lincoln, MA (which was set off from Concord) are in the line of Capt. Thomas Brooks. This particular Thomas Jefferson (I've got six men with this name, and another half dozen Thomas Js) has this Brooks line: 7. Thomas Jefferson Brooks (1805-1882) + Susanna POORE 6. Col. Daniel (1764-1839) + Bathsheba/6 DAKIN (these were 3d cousins) 5. John (1723-1812) + Lucy/5 HOAR (d. 1798) 4. Job (1698-1788) + Elizabeth/4 Flagg (1701-1786) 3. Ens. Daniel (1663-1733) + Anna/3 MERRIAM (1669-1757) 2. Dea. Joshua + Hannah MASON 1. Capt. Thomas + Grace Bathsheba Dakin's (#6 above) Brooks line is 5. Lt. Samuel DAKIN (1744-1811) + Elizabeth Billings (d. 1825) 4. Samuel Dakin (b. 1700) + Mary 3. Simon Dakin (b. c1644) + Elizabeth/3a BROOKS (b. 1672) 2. Dea. Joshua Brooks + Hannah Mason > I give up googling for Salmon Brooks, ...but I'm learning > all about flyfishing.....
