It looks like I descend of their son, John and Eunice (Mousall) Brooks. I am posting my FTM notes for Henry just in case there might be any references mentioned that you don't already have and would want to look at; have marked then with an (*); and would there be marriage records for Henry and Grace from Concord, Middlesex, Massachusetts for 1621?:

"Here is what I have on Henry Brooks and Grace Wheeler. They did have a son William with the dates you gave. I am descended from their daughter Martha on my maternal grandfather's side and their son Joshua on my maternal grandmother's side (my mother's parents were 8th cousins). Most of this info I got at my local (*)Family History Center. I hope this helps. - Debbie

"According to (*)Timothy Brooks of Masachusetts and His Decendants" by Robert Peacock Brooks published in 1927, Henry Brooks was born about 1591, died April 12, 1683. "No record of his wife's name". Probably from Scotland although not confirmed. One of the first settlers of Concord, Massachusetts. Lived there with his wife, four sons and two daughters until about 1648 when he moved Woburn, Massachusetts. Wife died in Woburn prior to 1651 for on March 27, 1651, Henry Brooks married Susannah, the widow of Ezekial Richardson at that place. I don't find a listing of his children in the excerpt I have, but Timothy Brooks from whom I descend is designated the "third son." If this helps, please get in touch. We may have info the other does not. Thanks!

"Jeanne - We have family records that show our side decended from Timothy Brooks' brother John. According to our records Henry Brook who settle in Woburn has son Timothy, Isaac, Lester, John, Joe daughters Ann, Sarah, Martha.
John married Eunice Mousall and Mary Cranston has Son John, Ebenezer, Jabez.
That John married Mary Richardson and they had sons John, Ebenezer, John, Timothy, Isaac, and Nathan.
Timothy married Abilgail Wyman and they had son Timothy.
That Timothy married Ruth Wyman
and also had son Timothy who married Mary King Mason, Son Sameul who married a Marie ?, son Thomas, Son Charles, Son Luke, and Son William McCobb who married Eliza Hobart.
They [William and Eliza???] had Isaac Hobart, William Thomas, Charles Dow.
That's where we lose records - but Isaac H. married (Franklin - we think) and had Isaac L. whomarried Elmira Jane Hawkins.
I Hope this helps in your search. "
I, too, hope this helps in your search, I apologize for the lenght but did not want to leave out potential clues for you.
God bless,
