From the HISTORY OF THE TOWN OF BETHEL:

​

"Oliver H. BROOKS, from New Hampshire, came to Bethel at an early date, locating at East Bethel, where he worked at his trade of carpenter and wheelwright, and for twenty-one years had control of the hotel, and during that time was postmaster. He had two children, of whom Samuel H., the youngest, born in 1828, resided at East Bethel."
