(Research Notes: Death date/location as well as burial date match those reported in the 'Department of Health of the City of Brooklyn Certificate of Death' document for Thomas Disbrow. Did not attach the patents whose information is also in the record due to:

1) the birth location for the father that Thomas is currently linked to (John Disbrow, KLBF-MDF) is reported as ", Westchester, NY", which does not match the birth location in this record (Green Farms, CT);

2) the current birth date, 1775, listed for linked father John Disbrow (KLBF-MDF) does not match that of Thomas' father, "Jas Disbrow" reported in the 1875 NY Census at age "76", which would make Thomas' father's birth year abt. 1779. (NOTE: this does not discount John from being the father of Thomas as the 1779 birth of "Jas Disbrow" would put his age about 15 when Thomas was born and possibly 14 when Thomas was conceived.))
