Timothy Brooks immigrated to New England as a child during the Puritan Great Migration (1621-1640).
Timothy Brooks was a member of the first Baptist community in Massachusetts under the leadership of John Myles 1665-67.
Timothy Brooks and a number of Welsh Baptists came from Swansea, Mass., about 1687, to which place Rev. John Miles and his church came about 1642 from Swansea, Wales. Among Brook's company were Samuel and Dan Bowen, Claeb Barrett, and Noah Wheaton. They were the first settlers at Bowentown and the vicinity.
The Seventh-Day Baptist Church of Shiloh - In the year 1663 a large number of Welsh Baptist emigrants, known as the "Rev. John Miles' company", settled in Massachusetts, and named their location Swansea, after their native place in Wales. Meeting with persecution, a large number of their children and grandchildren, with some Baptists from Scotland, moved to South Jersey in the year 1687, and settled at Barratt's Run, Bowentwn, and Shiloh. This colony from New England was known as the "Rev. Timothy Brooks" or the Bowen company, and kept up a separate society until 1710, when they united with the Old Cohansey Baptist Church.
