== Research Notes ==
===Uncertain Children===:[[Brooke-284|Henry Brooke]] is attached to this profile as a child of Thomas and Dorothy, however there is no source to support this connection (not named by Richardson). However, Richardson states that Thomas had seven sons, but names only five, so Henry could possibly be one of their sons. More research is needed.
:[[Brooke-55|Mary Brooke]] is also attached to this profile as a child of Thomas and Dorothy (unsourced). Again, Richardson states that Thomas had six daughters, but names three, so Mary could also possibly be one of their daughters. More research is needed.
