My sole source to date is her marriage record in Arnold's "Vital Record of Rhode Island," 7:6, which reads BROOKS Hannah, of Thomas and Mary, to James COGGESHALL, of Benjamin and Sarah. Newport, Nov. 25, 1736. You can view the very scant information I have on this line at the Tributaries website. Click on Thomas of RI in the Founders table at http://www.tributaries.org/secondsite/founders-p/index.htm Would very much appreciate any further data you can share, including sources for the DOB, DOD, and will you mention. It's seldom to never that I hear from anyone in this line, and I'm afraid my research on it has been at a standstill for a few years.
