mm note: looks like the Virginia Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography is trying to hook William up to Christopher Brooke. However, Christopher Brooke married Mary Jacob on 18 December 1619 at the church of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields by Charing Cross. His wife, by whom he had an only son John, died before him (1628)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Brooke

ENCYCLOPEDIA of VIRGINIA BIOGRAPHY UNDER THE ED1TORIAL SUPERVISION OF LYON GARDINER TYLER, LL. D

http://books.google.com/books?pg=PA10&lpg=PA10&dq=%22william%20brooke%22%2 0Temperence&sig=imb8m2cBI-wltZFBhAmUGSv7XvU&ei=qwi9S_fjGcH68Aau5qzXCA&ct=r esult&id=ESkSAAAAYAAJ&ots=KvjrAtyFAh&output=text

The Brooke family is one of those families of the English gentry who early came to the Virginia colony, impelled, not by religious persecution, but by that mingled desire for adventure and for more land that has been an English characteristic since the days of the Vikings. Bearing patents of land from the crown they were free to choose where they would locate, and adventure was plentiful with the Powhatan confederacy, dominant for two or three generations after the death of Powhatan himself. The old motto of the commonwealth, fin. dot Virginia quintum, "Lo, Virginia gives a fifth dominion." fitlv expresses the patriotic loyalty to the old home and pride in the new that characterized these colonists.

(I) William Brooke, the immigrant, came to the New World in 1621. settling in the Virginia colony, then under the control of the London Company. The journey was made in the "Temperance." He selected for his plantation a region on the Rappahannock river since known as Essex county, Virginia.

(II) Robert Brooke, probably the son of William Brooke, was born in Essex county, Virginia, 1652, and probably died on the Brooke estate. He served as clerk of Essex county. He married Catherine Booth, and they were the parents of a son, Robert, of whom further.

(III) Robert (2) Brooke, son of Robert (l) Brooke, was one of that famous company called the "Knights of the Golden Horseshoe," who led by the celebrated and chivalric Governor Alexander Spotswood. started in 1716 from Williamsburg to cross the Blue Ridge mountains, then the furthest frontiers of the English civilization on the continent. An account of this expedition belongs to general history, but the small golden horseshoes given by Governor Spotswood to members of the party in commemoration, with their appropriate motto Sic juvat trcu1scendcrc montcs, are still cherished by the descendants of the knights of the famous adventure. Robert Brooke married and among his children was a son Richard, of whom further.

(IV) Richard Brooke, youngest son of Robert (2) Brooke, moved up the Rappahannock river to Smithfield, on the same side of the river. He married Elizabeth, daughter of Colonel Francis Taliaferro, of Spottsylvania. West Virginia. Among his children was John Taliaferro, of whom lurther, and his twin brother, Francis Taliaferro. Three of the sons of Richard Brooke served in the revolutionary army and one son in the United States navy under the celebrated Paul Jones.

(V) John Taliaferro Brooke, son of Richard Brooke, was born August 27, 1763, at Smithfield, an old family estate on the Rappahannock river four miles below Fredericksburg, and died on his estate, Millvale, in Stafford county, West Virginia, in 1822, aged fifty-nine years. He studied for the legal profession and practiced it for a time in Fredericksburg, but later retired to his plantation, where he spent the remainder of his days. For many years he sat on the bench of the county court of Stafford county, serving also for many years as justice of the peace. He served as first lieutenant of artillery in the revolutionary war, at the age of eighteen, and in recognition of his gallant conduct at the battle of Futaw was promoted to brigade major of the park of artillery by Charles Harrison, who commanded it. and was invited by him to live with him "in the same marquee to the end of the war." He married Anne Mercer, daughter of Samuel and Mary (Cary) Selden, of Salvington, Stafford county, Virginia. They were the parents of five children, three of whom attained adult age, namely: Samuel Selden, married Angelina Edrington ; Francis John, killed on Christmas Day, 1837, at the battle of Okeechobee. Florida, in the Seminole Indian war; Henry Laurens, of whom further. The family were members of the Episcopal church, Mr. Brooke being a vestryman of the parish.

I found Christopher Brooke's will, and he had only one son, John. Therefore, he could NOT have been the father of any William.

http://books.google.com/books?id=XtcsAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA15&lpg=PA15&dq=%22chris topher+brooke%22+%22william+brooke%22&source=bl&ots=g8vrsS0ruE&sig=gRZpW8T gBRWSxzpH7lUyM8MI2dg&hl=en&ei=AGW5S4aNC8SAlAegzPyXCg&sa=X&oi=book_result&c t=result&resnum=7&ved=0CBYQ6AEwBg#v=onepage&q=%22christopher%20brooke%22%2 0%22william%20brooke%22&f=false

He DID have a nephew William, eldest son of his brother Robert, mentioned in his will. However, I've found no other info of this William.

But let's look at this William. Christopher and brother Robert had a father named Robert, who was a wealthy merchant and mayor of York. Presumably, son Robert was the oldest of his sons. And William was the oldest of son Robert. As the oldest got the best of inheritance, it was typically the youngest sons that did the emigration to find fortune.

There is no evidence that I know of to say that this was the same William that came to VA on the Temperance in 1621, or the William that acquired land in Norfolk in 1643, or even that the William of 1621 and 1643 were the same William. Further, Christopher wrote his will in 1627, and did not mention that his nephew William was "of Virginia" when the William of 1621 was already there.

Robert Brooke, who married Katherine Booth, was born about 1653, give or take a year. This from evidence of an instrument his witnessed in 1693, where he stated his age as forty years.

If his father was the William, Clerk of Old Rappahannock in 1665, which is a likely but unverified scenario, it seems a bit unlikely that the William of 1621 was the father of Robert, due to his age. He would have likely been in his 50s when Robert was born. Certainly not impossible, but not a good bet. And definitely unverified. There is no direct evidence that William, Clerk of Old Rappahannock in 1665, was father of Robert, nor that this William was the same William of Norfolk in 1643 or of the Temperance. I am not trying to say this is untrue. I'm just saying it is unverified speculation and should be reported as such.

Further, I have never seen any evidence that any William Brooke married Margaret Mason. I did note that a Peter Mason was on the Temperance with William, but found no further connection. I have read unverified statements that a Margaret Mason was the mother of Katherine Booth's mother, Margaret Underwood, but I stress unverified.

I have also seen reports of a Christopher Brooke, Jr., born in 1617. However, the difference of 35-36 years between his birth and Robert's in 1653-1654 makes it unlikely that this Christopher is Robert's grandfather.

We have studied the MD Brooke line to try to find a connection from them, but have found all reported scenarios to be clearly wrong or unlikely. Further, the MD Brookes were in a Catholic colony, and the VA Brookes were Anglican

Nathaniel, Margaret, and Hannah all children of Thomas and Joane were born in Bristol and are in the records. I believe that Thomas's address was Old Market Street parish of St. Phillips. There are other records for the Popes but they are too faint to decipher, but the originals would be worth looking at if there are any Pope descentants in Bristol with an interest in genealogy.
