  • Notes 
    • Phoebe's connection with the Westbrook name is three-fold. Her aunt, Margaret Brinck, married Leonard Westbrook (1759-1827) in 1777. He fought for the Revolution and witnessed the Wyoming Massacre. He was an officer in the American militia in the 1790s but they lived in Westminster during the War of 1812, from 1811-1816, (I wonder if he was a spy??) and then moved to Ohio. Two of Leonard and Margaret's children (Phoebe's first cousins)married siblings of Peter McNames, Phoebe's husband: Nancy McNames married Cornelius Taylor Westbrook and Amos McNames (the one who left Canada in 1813 to live in the US) married Cornelia Catherine Westbrook (In 1830 Amos and Cornelia are living in Ohio next to Leonard's brother Cherrick Westbrook).

      With all these Westbrooks floating around, I thought there must be a connection with Andrew Westbrook, who lived in Delaware. Sure enough: Andrew Westbrook was a second cousin of Leonard Westbrook. So there is no direct relationship with Andrew and Phoebe but there certainly are family connections.

      I got this information from a Westbrook genealogy site: http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/m/i/x/Kimberly-Marie-Mix/GENE1-0025.html
