Searching for more information concerning Abigail (Goslee) Brooks who lived in Chemung Co., NY as late as 1840. She applied for a Widow's Pension in that year and was living with her son, Josiah Brooks, Jr.

Abigail was born in 1764 in or around Glastonbury, CT. She married Josiah Brooks (1757-1838) also of Glastonbury in 1781. He was a Revolutionary War veteran of Connecticut.

Abigail and Josiah had the following children:
Josiah (Jr.)
Nebolie (?)
Russell
Abigail Ann m. ? Shotluck
Jesse m. Miranda Fox in 1812 in Litchfield, CT
Sally m. Dr. Anson Root
Almeta m. Lucretius Moore
Nelson
Hurlbert (or Huxtburt)

I am a descendant of Jesse and Miranda (Fox) Brooks who moved to the Chemung County area around 1817 and later moved to Coldwater, Branch County, MI around 1835.

I am interested in finding the resting place of Abigail (Goslee) Brooks and/or other members of the Brooks family. I am willing to share my Brooks/Goslee information with those interested.

Yours,
Angela Chapman Brigman
