Brooks-4049 and Brooks-685 appear to represent the same person because: Possible duplicate:

Joseph Brooks (4040) and John Brooks (685) were born and died on the same day, in the same locations. Same parents. Both had a wife named Mary. The biography under John 685 refers to him as Joseph.

The parents, Benjamin and Mary Brooks, already had a son named John, 1703-1744. Unlikely to name another living son John.
