I'm looking at several of the summaries in Middlesex Co. Court files. An entry on 17 June 1668 mentions three Brooks and gives their ages: Timothy Brooks age 33, Thomas Brooks age 46, and Isaac Brooks age 26. There are several other cases in which Thomas is listed as 'signed with mark.' And two rather interesting, if cryptic, cases involving Timothy (eg. Timothy sued Henry Sumers for slander in Feb 1668, with odd little reference to a "maid in Woburn," hmmm.) Well, anyway, my question is where to place these three men. They are presumably connected and I'm looking at the children of Henry of Woburn. I had Timothy, son of Henry, as born c 1629 but I'm not sure why...there is room in the family list for him to be born c 1635. I had Isaac, son of Henry, born 1642, so that works. But then there's Thomas....I don't have any Thomas born c 1622, whether a son of Henry or other. There IS space in the sequence of Henry's children for a Thomas c 1622. Does anyone have a Thomas, son of Henry??? Or any Thomas born c 1622? PS. Rest assured, I'm not carving anything in stone...just speculating!
