Unknown origins. See profile of husband Thomas Dickinson. A 15 Apr 1640 marriage at St. Peter, Leeds, England of Jennett Brooks and Thomas Dickinson has been mistakenly assigned to this couple. Exactly at that time Thomas was serving a sentence of slavery (having already been whipped) in Massachusetts. Whatever Jennett he married, it was NOT the Brooks of Leeds, England.
She was buried 1 FEB 1686 in Rowley, Essex Co., Massachusetts
November ye 7t 1687 (sic should be 1686)

Might we review her date of birth?
Is there a reason to believe the woman who married "before 1640" was born 1626; she would have then been only age 14. --Gene
However, this is not the Thomas Dickinson who married Jenett Brooks in West Riding on 15 Apr 1640 (see this record Yorkshire, West Riding : Leeds : St Peter : : "Parish Register" database, FreeREG (https://www.freereg.org.uk/search_records/597e2267f493fd1b4c058360 : viewed 12 Jan 2022) marriage Tho. Dickinson to Jennit Brooke 15 Apr 1640)
See Thomas' profile; he was sentenced to be "severely whipped" and sentenced to slavery on 3 Dec 1639 at Rowley, Mass and was released from slavery on 1 Sep 1640. So, I don't think they gave him a vacation to sail back to England to be married. This profile information should be dropped upon merge.
