• Notes

  Joshua Brooks, son of Captain Thomas Brooks, was born about 1630, probably in England. He married, October 17, 1653, Hannah Mason, daughter of Captain Hugh Mason. He was a tanner by trade. He settled in that part of Concord later made the town of Lincoln, where many of his family and his descendants have since lived. Three generations of his descendants in the direct male line have successively held the office of deacon of the Lincoln Church. He was the ancestor of nearly all the name since in Concord and Lincoln. He inherited one-half the Medford property, but there is no account of its disposition except that in January, 1708. He learned his trade as furrier and tanner from Captain Mason, and subsequently married his daughter. He was admitted as freeman May 26, 1652.
