Hi: My maiden name is Brookfield, and William Brookfield born 1655, N.J. married Elizabeth (Bissett) around 1683. He had a son named Job (b. 1684 Elizabeth, NJ; d. 1733 Elizabeth N.J) and married a Sarah Vreeland. The name Jacob continues for three more generations, than finally an Edwin is born in Hamberstone, Ontario in 1839. Believe that they came across to Upper Canada as Loyalist
