Brookfield Center; was born in Lincolnshire, England, July 31, 1815, April 20, 1842, he married in Auburn, Lincolnshire, Elizabeth Lumb, a native of that place, born October 27, 1814. IN 1844 they came to this country, settled in the town of Brookfield, Waukesha Co., Wis., where they have since resided; their children are John G. Rebecca A., William H., Sarah E., Joseph J.; the oldest of these children, John G., Married Matilda Gelden, and resides in Gratiot, Wis.; Rebecca A., the second oldest, is the wife of R. H.
