2. Bond, Genealogy Of Families & Descendants of Early Settlers Of Watertown, Middlesex County, Mass, 719;
http://tfeeney.esmartbiz.com/bios.doc, Neither the date of his arrival nor the place of his embarkation has been
ascertained; but there is reason to suppose that he came from London. He first settled at Watertown and was one
of the townsmen then inhabiting, to whom the Beaver Brook plowlands were granted in 1636.He was admitted
freeman Dec 7, 1636, while he resided in Watertown. It is evident that he could not be the Thomas Brooke who
embarked in May 1635, then aged 20 in the company with Rev. Peter Bulkley. The second son, perhaps the third
child of Capt. Thomas Brooks, of Concord, was born 1632, when the other Thomas was only 17 years old. He
moved very soon from Watertown to Concord, of which he was captain, and he received various other
appointments of honour and trust. [source: William G. Brooks of Boston]The General Court appointed him
constable of Concord Dec 8, 1638 and he was representative in 1642, 1643, 1644 and four years after 1650. In
1640, he was apprizer of horses, cattle, etc for the purpose of taxation, and appointed to prevent drunkeness
among the Indians.In 1657 he purchased of the commissioners of the General Court, for £5, the right of carrying
on the fur trade in Concord. In 1660, he and his son-in-law, Timothy Wheeler, jointly purchased of Edward Collins,
400 acres in Medford for £404, two-thirds for himself, and one-third for Wheeler.His wife, Grace died May 12,
1664, and the next October 22nd, he sold his house-lot at Concord; but he remained in Concord and died there
May 21, 1667, intestate. His inventory, by Deacon Merriam, Deacon Potter and George Wheeler amounted to
