I'm not very computer literate. I don't know how to take info from my family tree on my computer and send it by internet. I do know how to hit the print button and print off copies. The easiest thing for me would be to print off the info and send it to you. The info that I print will include a descendant sheet for direct linage plus a sheet for each individual in the line. The sheets will give other family members that I have listed and my source info. My email address is emt86@juno.com
I have some info on Hezekiah Brooks. Lydia Brooks was my father's grandmother.According to the charleston, Maine records , Hezekiah Brooks second wife was Eliza Jane Butler not Duren. His first wife was Martha Duren . According to my father, his grandmother , Lydia Brooks was a first cousin to James Duren, the son of Mathew Duren and Maria Pierce. That would make Mathew Duren and Martha Duren brother and sister. The federal census lists Mathew as the son of James Duran and Anna Wheeler. Do not confuse this Martha Duren who was born in 1826 with the Martha Duren who was born in 1831. The Martha born in 1831 was John Duren and Martha Whitmore's daughter. The Martha born in 1826 was John Duren's granddaughter by his first wife Jane Davis.
