Research Note:
Richard BROOKE's witnessed the will of Mary Blacknall's brother, Charles BLACKNALL's, father-in-law, George HARDIN in 1744 Middlesex Co., VA. I believe Richard Brookes is the brother of Thomas BROOKS, husband of Mary Blacknall.

The other Thomas Brooks lived and died in Burlington County, NJ and had a wife Mary and daughter Esther Sharp, daughter Sarah Austin, daughter Lucy Brooks, etc.. I'm disconnecting Esther and rebuilding Thomas of New Jersey's profile.
I would change the locations on this profile to represent the Virginia man.
