Biography

Martha (Brooks) Bateman immigrated to New England as a child during the Puritan Great Migration (1621-1640).

Martha Brooks was born in England. She married, as his 1st wife, by 1645, Thomas/2 Bateman of Concord, Massachusetts, son of Sgt. William/1 Bateman. She died at Concord 3 Aug 1665. Neither Shattuck nor Cutter mention her among the children of Henry Brooks of Woburn, nor is she mentioned in Henry's will, as she predeceased her father by 18 years. Her husband, however, was overseer of the will of Thomas/1 Fox, who married her sister Hannah. In 1738 her son (or grandson) Eleazer Bateman, calling himself "a kinsman of David Fox" (Martha's nephew), put forth a claim for the latter's rights based on service in the Phips expedition against Canada, 1690.

DNA

Paternal and Maternal relationships are both confirmed based on a triangulated group on MyHeritageDNA who share a 13.6 cM segment on chromosome 2, consisting of Claire (Sanders) Sears and AMR, her 8th cousin 1x removed, and MGH, her 9th cousin. (AMR and MGH are 8th cousins 1x removed.) These matches have been independently verified via the MyHeritage Chromosome Browser. Their most recent common ancestors are Henry Brooks and Unknown UNKNOWN, the 8x great grandparents of Claire (Sanders) Sears and 7x great grandparents of AMR and 8x great grandparents of MGH.
