Thank you for your list of BROOKS males in Windham Co, VT in 1790, Chris. I believe that Nathaniel BROOKS may be the father of Polly BROOKS. The Polly BROOKS I have been looking for married Emerson PRESTON (b 1793) of Dummerston, Windham, VT. I have no dates, but believe that she died early in that marriage. If anyone would share information related to Polly and her family, I would be grateful.
