Good Morning - I have the article from Early American Industries Association (The Chronicle). Anyone descended of Bezaleel MUST have it. There is even a photo of his five sons, Thomas McDonough Brooks Jonathan Edwards Brooks Norman Crane Brooks Milton Brooks Luther Martin Brooks It includes a debtor's list, history, pages from their journals, etc. A small sample: "Following his first marriage in 1810 to Philly Cooke, Bezaleel Brooks purchased his home and blacksmith shop on River Road in New Haven Mills (New Haven), Vermont. His wife died in 1817, leaving him with a son, Thomas McDonough, and two daughters Elizabeth and Casendana. He was remarried in 1818 to Polly Crane. By 1822 he decided to move his shop and home to Middlebury, Vermont, and sold his property to his brother, Samuel." The article is 10 pages. Please let me know if you need a copy at [email protected] Carol Pullen-Reynolds

I left you unidentified so that you would have the option of remaining the anonymous source if you wished, leaving it to me to deal with any followup inquiries. As always, given a choice, you freely select the Conscientious option rather than the Me First option -- which is one of the reasons I like you so much. I can't imagine that it gets any better for a listowner than having folks like you in the fold. (That last sentence looks a little ungrammatical, but it comes from the heart.) Thanks, Chris
