Exact birthdate is difficult to determine. According to his obituary he was 76 years old when he died, that would put his birth year at 1852, however, the 1855 NY state census shows that he was 9 years old in 1855. Other census records show different ages as well.
Joseph manufactured pianos for a living. He worked for the Winter Piano Company and while I am not sure of the history, it appears Winter made J.T. Brooks Pianos as well. His brother Robert James Brooks worked for him at some point.
