From The Brooks Family, page 5:167
John Brooks was born about twenty years before the settlement of Woburn, and it is known that he was about 45 years of age in 1608. In 1690, at the age of about 67 years, he participated as a soldier in the Phips Expedition to Quebec. The will of John Brooks, Sr., dated July 29, 1690, probated Nov. 16, 1691, he ... “being bound for Canada in the Expedition against the French enemy”... mentions wife, Mary; sons, Jabez, John and Ebenezer daughters, Deborah, Eunice, Sarah and Joanna; grandchildren, Eunice Buck, Eunice Carter. Eunice Roberts, and John Buck, John Carter, John Brooks, David Roberts; and Mary and Elizabeth, his son John’s two children; Eunice Brooks, daughter of his son Ebenezer; and Mary, daughter of his daughter, Deborah Richardson. He also names son John Richardson (husband of Deborah); and mentions John Dane (Dean), an apprentice, and Rev. Pastor Mr. Jabez Fox. To son John Brooks he gives that piece of land ... called by the name of English Hills. He gives the care of his son Jabez to Lieut. James Converse, during his minority.
    John Brooks. Sr., in Sept., 1691, was dismissed from ordinary trainings on account of his decrepitness and incapacity to serve. He was evidently a soldier in King Philip’s War, 1675-6, but his identity is not positive.

From The Brooks Family, page 8:167
    John and Sarah died without issue. John died in Woburn, April 2, 1698, and with his wife’s death the name became extinct in Woburn, the line of Dea. John being carried down through the descendants of his daughter Brooks, wife of John. We have already said much regarding the Mousall familv under the heading of John Brooks. John Mousall granted to his “loving cousin,” Joseph Wright, Jr., and Elizabeth, wife of said Joseph, his homestead and other estate, saving of the latter: “having experience of her respects and care of me and my wife for many years together, and now also in our age the said Joseph Wright and Elizabeth his wife, have engaged themselves to take care of me and mv wife, during our natural lives,” I do, “in consideration of love and good will,” convey the homestead and other property; Joseph Wright “to have all after the decease of me and Sarah, my now married wife.” The date of this transfer was Feb. 19, 1694.
On 13 May 1650 John married Sarah Brooks (6044) , daughter of Henry Brooks (2443) (ca 1592-12 Apr 1683), in Woburn, MA.124 Born ca 1633 in England. Sarah died in Woburn, MA bef 1706.167

From The Brooks Family, page 8:167
    Sarah died before 1706. Her will, dated June 15, 1702, probated Sept. 10, 1705, signed by her mark, appointed her “loving cousin,” Joseph Wright, Jr.. and his wife Elizabeth, executors, and Major James Converse and Lieut. Josiah Converse, overseers, and mentions a number of relatives, whose connection opens some interesting genealogical material.
