The following sketch of the Mfe of Mr. Brooks formed a portion of an address delivered by Hon. Robert C. Winthrop before the General Theological Library Association, April 16, 1878.
"Edward Brooks, A.M., of Medford, Mass., was the eldest son of Peter C. Brooks, well remembered as one of Boston's wealthiest and most eminent men of business, and of whom may be found in the Register (vol. viii. pp. 297-309; vol. ix. pp. 13-33) an admirable memoir by the Hon. Edward Everett, who married his daughter. His grandfather, the Rev. Edward Brooks, of Medford, was a gradu-

ate of Harvard University, class of 1757. Edward Brooks was also a graduate of Harvard, class of 1812; studied law with his uncle, the Hon. Benjamin Gorham, an dmade the 'grand tour' in Europe in the company of Mr. Ticknor and the Hon. John C. Gray.
" Mr. Brooks was one of the representatives of Boston in the legis- lature of Massachusetts for the years 1834, '36, '37, and '42. He was a man of vigorous intellect, of great reading, and of many varied accomplishments. He was very active in the temperance movement, and was one of the first to interest himself in the Blind Asylum in connection with Dr. Howe. For nine years, and until the year pre- ceding his death, - when the infirmities of age led him to resign, -he held the office of president of the General Theological Library, in which he took a warm interest, and to which he contributed time and money. He was also, until within about ten years of his death, a contributor to 'The North American Review.' In consequence of the ill health of his wife, he spent many years in foreign lands. The Boston Public Library is indebted to him for an admirable original portrait of Franklin, presented on his return from Europe."

CRADOCK, MATHEW, the founder of Medford, was descended from an ol ! English fam- ily, whose pedigree is printed in the N. E. Hist. and Gen. Register for April, 1855. An abstract is here given: -
John Cradock, living 1446. He fled to France for killing a man; but, receiving a pardon, returned and settled at Stafford, where he m. Jane, dau. of Richard Needham, of Dorrington. His son John d. 11 Ed. IV. (1471), and had by wife - dau. of R. Middleton - Richard Cradock, merchant of the Staple, who d. in London, 1500. He m. Alice, dau. of John Dorrington, and had, inter alios, Thomas, who d. 1530. This Thomas was father of Thomas, who m. Emma, dau. of Nicholas Meverall, and had William of Caermarthen, 1597. William m. Timothea, dau. of M. Wotten, and had, with others, Francis (who lived at Wickham Brook, and left issue, Walter, who d. s. p.), and Mathew, b. 1563, who m. Dorothy Greenway. This Mathew had Mathew, our patron, and Samuel, clerk at Thistleton, co. Rutland. Mathew m., Ist, Damaris, dau. of Richard Winne, by whom he had Damaris, bap. Nov. 1, 1623; and, 2d, Rebecca, dau. of Thomas Jordan, of London, and had: -
MATHEW, bap. June 3, 1632. THOMAS, " Feb. 10, 1634.
MARY, " Nov. 27, 1637.
It is my belief that these children all d. young, not being mentioned in his will. There was a George Cradock, of Boston, who is said by Hutchinson to have been a grandson of the gov- ernor. However, as the historian seems to be in error in the same paragraph in confusing the brother and nephew of Mathew, I prefer the authority of the English heralds, who mention no descendants of the governor. Samuel, the brother of Mathew, had Samuel, Mathew, and Zach- ary; of whom Samuel was rector of North Cadbury, and d. Oct. 7, 1706, aged 86. On the death of his father's cousin, he succeeded to the estate at Wickham Brook, which remained in the possession of his descendants. He published a work called " Knowledge and Practice; or a Plain Discourse of the Chief Things necessary to be known, believed, and practised in order to Salvation. Useful for private families." I have a copy of the third edition, printed in Lon- don, 1673. It is a very curious and learned collection of texts and comments. There is also a funeral sermon extant, preached on his death by Samuel Bury, printed in 1707. There were several other families of this name: one settled at Cradock Hall, in Richmond, co. York; an- other at Husband's Bosworth; another at Glanmorganshire (descended from Caradoc ap Ynir ap Ivor, lord of Dyfed) ; and a fourth is recorded in Burke's "Commoners." The name is a very ancient one, and occurs in the ballads concerning King Arthur. (See Percy's " Rel- iques.")
CURTIS, THOMAS (1), came from York with his three brothers, Richard, John, and William, to Scituate, before 1648. (Vide Deane's " History of Scituate.") He had a son, Samuel, b. 1659, who had a son, Benjamin (2), b. 1699, who m. Rebecca House, 1723, and had several children. Of these, Elijah (3), b. 1740, m. Abigail Sole, 1756, and lived on Curtis's Hill, in Scituate. By his second wife, Zeporah Randall, he had two sons, Nehe- miah and James (4).
3- 4 JAMES CURTIS, b. 1779, m. Desire Otis, 1802, and had several children, one of whom was : -
4- 5 JAMES O., b. 1804, at Scituate. He moved to Medford in 1820, where he served an apprenticeship with Thatcher Magoun, Esq., and has since been engaged in ship- building. He m. Adeline Wait in 1826, who d. July 12, 1858, and had : -
5- 6 George, b. 1827.

He appears to have m. Eliz. Frost, Sept. 13, 1705; and, in fact, it is pos- sible that all these children, after Nathaniel, - that is, from and including No. 13, -may be the offspring of a different John and Lydia. This, how- ever, is but a surmise; and, from the wills, I judge a very improbable one.
