Richard/b Brooke, a shoemaker of Manchester, Lancashire, probably born circa 15401, left a wife named Dorothy, who may or may not have been the mother of his children.1
The will of Richard Brooke of Manchester, shoemaker, dated 5 Aug 1607, and signed by mark, left one third of his estate to Dorothy now my wife, and one third to sons Thomas, Robert and William. Of the last third, he left John Brooks son of my late son John Brooke late deceased 13s. 4d., to Richard Brooke brother of the said John £6 toward his bringing up until age 12 years, and to Henry Brooke son of John Brooke 5s. Also, to Elizabeth Brooke my mother 20s., 6s. 8d. to be distributed by my executors upon twenty of the poorest householders in Manchester, to Thomas Brooke my son £10, to Dorothy Brooke my wife £3-6-8, to William Brooke my son £5, to Robert Brooke my son 33s. 4d., and to Richard Brooke, Thomas Brooke, Margaret Brooke and Elizabeth Brooke my grandchildren sons and daughters of Thomas Brooke 13s. 4d. equally to be divided among them. To John Winne of Stockport 6s. 8d., to John Greadley 5s. 8d., and the residue of the estate to be divided equally between mother Elizabeth Brooke, wife Dorothy, and sons Robert and William. Whereas Richard Brooke had leased of Robert Berke, gentleman, one dwelling house and shop with appurtenances for the term of 21 years, "wherein twenty years or thereabouts are yet to come," he left Dorothy the house and shop while she remained a widow, devising them to his son Thomas should she remarry. Executors were to be wife Dorothy and son Thomas; overseers, loving friends George Traves of the Yealdhouse and William Kenyon of Manchester. A list of "Debts owing unto me the testator" included "Thomas Brooke my son £5. 12s. 6d."1
