Minor Brokaw was born and raised on the farm of his great grandfather, David Brokaw; and he heired that farm, from his father, and lived, and farmed, there near Lodi, in Seneca Co., N.York, and children were born there. Have no data on Virginia Dimmick. For years, Minor Brokaw, raised grains and alfalfa; specialized in apples for commercial sale, which apples were of the finest in the state. Was honored with a Master Farmers medal, 1929, which was presented to him, in person, by the then Governor of the State, Franklin D. Roosevelt. Minor was a good christian man, good neighbor and public spirited citizen. By 1930 he was a dealer in high-grade power and tillage tools, at Interlacken, N.Y. At which time he wrote letters to Mrs. Chas W. Bryon of Lincoln, Nebr., who was of this line of Brokaw. Both he and Virginia died at Lodi, New York.
Herbert Brokaw was married, Aug. 8, 1926, to Ruth Mary Parish, b. Dec. 30, 1899, in Cayuta, Schuyler Co., New York, and lives on the old farm, of his father, of his grandfather and of his great grandfather, David Brokaw, first of the pioneers, from N.J. to the Lake Country, of New York. And this place is not very far from Interlacken; has been in the family since 1807. The Herbert Brokaws have a daughter, Virginia Lee Brokaw, b. Nov. 2, 1927, in Ithaca. She married Howard James and has; Harold K.; Anne Elizabeth, and Richard James. Mrs. Ruth Brokaw says that the old house burned down to the ground and that a new one built, in which they live. The old one burned in about 1878, but the old barn is still in use. (Records from Mrs. Ruth Brokaw and the Rev. Abram Brokaw, of New Hartford, N.Y.)
