Dear List, I may be the only one working on this line but here's what I have found on my travels in Connecticut on Wednesday: I located Pine Island Cemetery in South Norwalk in a desolate area behind Mathew Lockwood Mansion at Norwalk State Heritage Park. Although the cemetery is part of the historic park, it is only accessible through the back road to the city dump of all things. There are two entrances just wide enough for one car and no road to speak off, you have to drive on the grass and hope you don't run over anyone's grave. It was extremely secluded and I ventured forth with great trepidation. Most of the stones were so old and worn I could barely read the names. At first I didn't recognize any familiar names but decided I would take a deep breath, be brave and check out the graves in the farthest corner of the cemetery. Lo and behold, there I found Eli Brooks' grave along with that of his wife and two of his children. Along side Eli's was the grave of his daughter Julia Brooks (my ggg grandmother) and her husband, Reuben A. Rogers. I knew that Eli's son, Jeremiah T. was also buried ! in the same cemetery so proceeded to search for his grave also. I found it, quite by accident as although it was at one time a very tall monument, it had been toppled and was overgrown with bushes and not readable except for the names. I had read the cemetery is (or will be) restored which is probably the reason a pink ribbon was tied around the base of Jeremiah T.'s toppled monument. Eli Brooks-Died December 28, 1857 Age 65 years 4 months (Born August 23, 1792) Nancy (Taylor)-March 20, 1783-January 6, 1866 Alanson-Died December 28, 1849 Age 23 years 3 months Sarah A.-Died September 28, 1854 Age 24 years 1 month Reuben A. Rogers-July 6, 1812-February 12, 1880 Julia A. (Brooks)-February 7, 1822-February 29, 1904 Jeremiah T. Brooks Mary A. (Knapp) (Jeremiah T. was born March, 1820 and died November 30, 1911) As far as I know Eli Brooks had just the four children I found buried there. Jeanne Jain
