"Benjamin/2s Brooks, born 25 Jul 1671 at Springfield, Massachusetts,4,1, married, by 1693, Mary, doubtless Mary Barnard, daughter of Richard Barnard and Sarah Clark, with whom he had 12 children ([footnote] Their son John/3s Brooks named a daughter Mary Barnard Brooks. A great-grandson was also named Barnard.)"
↑ This marriage is not proven but appears highly probable based on the available information. No other marriage found for Mary Barnard, her age at death, use of the Barnard name in Brooks' descendants.
