• Notes

  Son of Richard Brooke and Elizabeth Twyne, Thomas Brooke married Susan Forster. "He matriculated 24 November 1581 at New College, Oxford, at the age of twenty. He received the BA on 4 May 1584. Thomas was a barrister at the Inner Temple, becoming a bencher in 1607 (a senior member of an Inn of Court which governed the society), and an autumn reader in 1611. Thomas served as Member of Parliament from Whitchurch from 1604 to 1611 during the reign of King James I." Thomas and Susan Brooke had eleven children, at least two of whom, Richard Brooke (1602-1656) and Dr. John Brooke (d. 1693), immigrated to Maryland.
