I've searching for any information on my 3rd great grandfather, George M. BROOKS who I believe was dropped from a space ship into New York State. Funnies aside, what I have been able to learn about George is that he was born 24 Dec 1796 in Yorkshire, England. My first census find is the 1851 Canadian Census - Fredericksburgh Township - District One where he is shown as a Farmer, living with his wife, Nancy (McKee) and children: Richard, Harriet, Hannah and George. I believe he was married to widow, Nancy McKee Fraser in Ellisburg, Jefferson County, NY on 12 Aug 1823 according to the William Harley Brooks Family Bible. Nancy had a daughter, Jane who took the Brooks name. George and Nancy's children, Anson McClellan, Richard Harrison, Emma and Harriet Elizabeth were all born in Ellisburgh. Their last three children Mary Caroline, Hanna A. and George M. were born in Fredericksburgh Township, Ontario, Canada. George died 24 Jul 1862 in Madoc, Hastings County, Northumberland, Ontario, Canada. If anyone has any information on George please contact me. Thank you, Carol Rooksby Weidlich North Fort Myers, Florida

Hi, Carol You know where and when George Brooks was born, what his occupation was, who he married, the names of his children, where he lived and where he died. If I've missed something, forgive me. But, what additional information are you seeking?

I'd like to know when, how and why he came to America and to NY.
