He was 40 in 1683, per Essex County files.2,3 He married, 10 Jan 1665/66 at Woburn, Miriam Daniels, perhaps sister of John/1 Daniels of New London, Connecticut.4,5 Isaac's father Henry may have given Isaac part of his Concord estate, as Concord's 1666 tax list records Isaac's cousin Joshua/2a Brooks living at "Isaac Brooks's place." After his marriage, however, Isaac settled at Woburn.6
