Fabricated Genealogy
In a 1935 book (Some ancestral lines : being a record of some of the ancestors of Guilford Solon Tingley and his wife, Martha Pamelia Meyers), Raymon Meyers Tingley identified Gilbert Brooks' wife Elizabeth as the daughter of Thomas Symons (Simmons) and his wife Elizabeth (Nash) Simmons, born in Plymouth, Massachusetts, on 4 September 1628. Anderson states: "This identification results from the most outrageous fabrication, and should be consulted for its entertainment value only."[1] According to Anderson, Raymon Meyers Tingley fabricated documents related to this family.[2] Anderson wrote that "Raymon Meyers Tingley went so far as to fabricate a deposition by [Thomas] Symons making him brother-in-law of Samuel Nash and father-in-law of Gilbert Brooks, but this alleged document is impeached by its own internal chronological impossibilities."[3] Elizabeth (Simmons) Brooks is an invention of Raymon Meyers Tingley.
Biography
Raymon Meyers Tingley said that Elizabeth was a daughter of Thomas Simmons (Symonds) of Plymouth and Elizabeth Nash and that Thomas was son of Moses Simmons. Elizabeth's supposed father is based on Thomas Symonds, who is documented in Plymouth Colony Records but has unknown origins and is not recorded with any family.
One WikiTree profile for Elizabeth said she was born about 1621 and passed away about 1687 (no source cited).

The last name of the wife of Gilbert Brooks is not known.
I am detaching this profile from the Gilbert Brooks profile while waiting for the proposed merge to go through.
EDIT: ah I see what you're doing. You want to retain the lower LNAB for Simmons. Okay then yes, merge her not into Unknown but detach her from Gilbert Brooks n
