His wife, Mary, born June 15, 1665, was the widow of Walter Cranston, and daughter of George and Elizabeth (Clark) Bruce.

When her father's estate was settled, she was deceased, and her son Thomas Henshaw signet! for the heirs of hla deceased mother. Her death is not on record. For further account, and children, see Sewall's " Woburu," p. 616. See Register, Vol. xlvii., pp. 464-465, etc.; Johnson's "Early Woburn Deeds," pp. 10, 49, 50.

- vii. John, b. Nov. 28, 1694; removed to Connecticut. The Woodstock, Ct., records give the marriage intention of "John Brooks, of Wobnrn, and Phebe Richardson, of Woodstock," Feb. 22, 1717-18; and their marriage occurred June 2, 1719, per Pomfret records. Previously, on June 11, 1718, land was deeded at Pomfret to " John Brooks, Jr., of Woburn, Co. Middlesex, Colony of Mass. Bay." John Brooks died Mar. 29, 1743, per gravestone in cemetery near the Ashford Congregational Church. The inscription reads: "John Brooks, husband of Mrs. Phebe Brooks." The last figure of the year of his age is reported as illegible, but the age was evidently 48 years. Phebe (Richardson) Brooks, b. in Woodstock, Feb. 81, 1700-1, was daughter of Zachariah and Mehitable (Perrin) Richardson, formerly of Woburn (Richardson Mem., p. 188).
