Individual Details

DAWSON, Benjamin--married Anne BROOKS(?), whose brother Francis BROOKS was of
Plaistow, Essex, England, gent.; of Virginia; she was in Virginia ca 1744, etc.
Some Emigrants To Virginia, W G Stanard, p.28--VM-XVI-p.65
NOTE: the research into the Brookes family in England did not reveal any brother "Francis" - her brother Thomas was of Plaistow. This appears to be a error.
