Searching for Estabrook Ancestors

I have been trying to find out more about the Estabrooks without much success.
My great great grandmother was Julia Elizabeth Estabrook (Feb 20, 1828 NY - July 29, 1878 MO). Julia was the youngest of six born to Samuel Estabrook (b. 1784 MA) and Elizabeth Dunmore. Her siblings were: John Estabrook (b. 1817 NY) who married Minerva (b. 1820); George D. Estabrook (b. Cec 16, 1819 NY - Jan 17, 1910) who married Julia (1821 - 1897); Helen Estabrook who married Alfred Barr Sept 8, 1848; Edward Wilson Estabrook (b. Apr 24, 1827 - Apr 23, 1885 MO) who married Mary E. Wagner (1825 - 1890); and Charles Estabrook (b. 1826 NY).
Julia Estabrook married Sylvanus Sylvester Warren in the 1840's in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Sylvanus moved his family to Breckinridge, Caldwell Co. MO in 1867 along with Julia's brother Edward Estabrook and his family. Descendants of Edward still farm the Estabrook homestead in Breckinridge, MO.
Samuel brought his children, his father L. (Leland?) C. (Charles?) Estabrook (b. 1767 - July 29, 1847) and his second wife Abigail (b. 1789) to Waukesha County, WI around 1840 from New York.
The parents of Sylvanus S. Warren: Sylvanus Warren (b. 1789 Hampton, NY) and Betsy Fairchild (b. 1796 Georgia, VT) were married in Ontario, Canada, but moved back to the Niagara Falls area of NY in c.1820, then to Ann Arbor, MI in 1834, then to WI in 1838 with a group of families. So it seemed there was a trend for some New England families to spend some time in Canada, then return to the US and head west.
While seeking information regarding the Estabrooks in Massachusetts (since Samuel Estabrook was born there according to censuses), I ran across information on Rev. Joseph Estabrook and his brother Thomas who emigrated to Concord from Enfield, England in 1660 and wondered if there was a connection.
Any help or leads that other Estabrook descendants could give me would be appreciated.
