Surname Saturday -- BROOKS (England to colonial Massachusetts)

It's Surname Saturday, and I'm "counting down" my Ancestral Name List each week.  


I am in the 8th great-grandmothers and I'm up to Ancestor #1201, but there are many families missing this deep into my ancestry.  The next known female ancestor is #1249 who is Sarah BROOKS (1652-1720)
