Brooks, J.H.
an English Baptist minister, was born at Berkhampsfead, Hants County, about 1795, and united with the Church in March, 1815. He immediately began to study earnestly. His Sabbaths were spent in village preaching, and in due time he completed a full course of study in the academy at Newport- Pagnell. He was pastor of the Church in West Haddon, Northamptonshire, from 1822 to 1827; then at Fenny Stratford, Buckinghamshire, from 1827 to 1835; next at Ridgemont, Bedfordshire, from 1835 to 1851. For a short time he was in Buckingham. At the last he was laid aside by complete mental and bodily prostration. His final residence was in Banbury, where he died March 3, 1857. See (Lond.) Baptist Hand-book, 1858. (J.C.S.)
