Note on Husband: William * BROOKS

William Brooks was likely the son of John/1k Brooks and Eleanor/2 Frye of Kittery, ME. There he married, 11 Aug 1709, Mary/3 Fogg of Kittery, daughter of Daniel/2 Fogg and Hannah Libby, with whom he had 5 children.1,2 A shipwright, he bought land at Kittery of Nicholas Shapleigh, 1710.3

List of landowners in 1712. "This committee report, which laid the foundation for proprietors' rights in the undivided lands, is printed in Stackpole's Kit. from the town records."1,4 In 1718 Wm. Brooks and Zebulon Trickey were tenants of the Downing estate.5 In Sep 1722, the Kittery selectmen assigned adjacent families from William Brooks through Jacob Remick Junr to emergency shelter in John Staple's garrison house.6 In 1733 Hanney Spinney, wife of John Cane, accused Wm. Brooks, and her father Thomas Spinney went her bond.7

William Brooks had two shares (for himself and son Joshua?) in the final division of the Common Lands, 11 Feb 1744–5, "though quite possibly dead by then."8,4 His wife was noted as deceased in her father's will of 14 Jul 1747.9,10
