Nothing is known definitively about Thomas Brookens except that he was born in1782 in Ireland.It is possible he was brought here as an indentured servant and his parents remained in Ireland -- no sign of his parents in the USA.We do know there was a Thomas Brookins living in County Derry in the 1740s and there was a will for a Thomas Brookins around 1800.
