am so excited on some information that I found on Augusta Marie Brooks. Can anyone add to this information? In reply to my request on information of the Brooks families in Somerset, I have found the following: Augusta Marie Brooks was born in St. Johnsbury, Vermont 11 Sep 1836 and was living in Fall River at the time of the Marriage. She was married 29 Jun 1859 to William Hail Munroe. Her parents names were Eli & Naomi. I researched births and marriages and deaths of "Brooks'" for a couple of decades, with the earliest being 1790 which is when Somerset was incorporated. I found nothing on Eli & Naomi, which would lead me to believe that they either lived in Fall River, or in Vermont. Since Augusta was 23 at the time of the marriage, her parents could still have been in Vermont. Also, I found: Milton Summer Brooks who died in Somerset on Jan 17, 1861, he was born in Somerset also, however his father was William F born in Lynden, Vermont and his mother was Mary Maria Brooks (mn - Negus) - born in Fall River. Could be related to Eli and Naomi???? Then I found William F and Mary M who both died in Somerset. He in 1910 and she in 1907. They had four children in Somerset, Willa Waltem Brooks, born April 20, 1855, but he died at the age of 4 months August 30, 1855. Also, Milton S. Brooks, born to them on July 7, 1856 (date of death above) and William W. born to them on Jan. 5, 1859. Then on May 16, 1861, they had a daughter, Geraldine Elna Brooks (I did not find deaths on these two children) There are other Brooks which I looked at, however, none of them from Vermont or had relations to any of the above.
