CRAWFORD were married in 1809. History
George Ambrose Brock, was the #1 child of James Brock
and Mildred Crain, he was born on 9 March 1789, in
Tennessee. Mary Elizabeth Crawford, was the #13 child of
James Crawford and Betsy Engald she was born on 11 November
1793 in what is now Byrdstown, Pickett County, Tennessee.
The date of George and Mary's marriage is about 1808.
George Ambrose's trade was a cooper (Genealogy by Saron K.
Minten). He served as justice of the peace in Fentress
County from 1838 until his death. As justice of the peace
for the County he performed many marriages. I have read
some family histories in, "History of Fentress County
Tennessee", dated 1987, Volume I, 707 pages, where George
Ambrose had performed marriages for folks in Fentress
County. Public records like this were destroyed during the
Civil War.
The marriage of George Ambrose and Mary Crawford Brock
had an issued of 13 children, their names are: #1 James
Porter, #2 Ambrose, #3 Casander, #4 Permelia Caroline, #5
Vineyard Crawford, #6 Mildred Crane, #7 Nettie Caroline, #8
Elizabeth, #9 Lucinda, #10 George Allen, #ll Russell
Wilburn, #12 Celestine, and #13 Pleasant Taylor Brock. They
were raised on a farm located near the Tennessee-Kentucky
state line and was therefore considered by some as being in
Clinton County, Kentucky, while actually it was in Fentress
County, Tennessee.
On 12 April 1841 during a crossing of swollen Spring
Creek on a horse, George Ambrose was drowned with his
daughter Elizabeth. The following is quoted from Reuben J.
Bates, "Aunt Elizabeth Brock's horse slipped or fell into
Spring Creek and her Dad got excited and jumped in to save
her. Most of the family said, he actually died of a heart
attack". He died intestate, at age 52 years 1 month and 3
days.
The Circuit Court of Fentress County divided his 400
acres of land in one eleventh shares between each of the
children, not all of the children were of age and were
appointed guardians. Reference pages 449 to 456 of the
Fentress County Minutes Book, Vol 1, 1842-1844; copied
under the Works Progress Administration (WPA), 22 May 1937.
I could not find the actual book in the Fentress County
Courthouse. This record shows the Circuit Court land survey
of the 400 acres to each child.
The Reuben Bates Genealogy on the Zachary's show that
Casander Brock was born near Hayles Mill (sometime spelled
Hale's Mill). I believe that the George Ambrose and Mary
Brock homestead was located in this area and all their
children were most likely born on this farm near Hale's
Mill. Page 158 in book "Gone But Not Quite Forgotten", a
book of Pickett County Cemeteries by Richard W. Pierce has
comments about a Hale's Mill Cemetery. In 1992 it appeared
that there were approximately 12 to 15 graves either with
fieldstone's as markers or unmarked. Cecil Flowers comments
were that this was a colored cemetery and called Old
Huddleston cemetery. In the 1840's J. D. Hale, a physician
bought land in this area and the cemetery became part of the
Old Hale place. These words aroused my curiosity, "this
cemetery may have been started before the Hales purchased
the land". This leads me to some speculation on where our
Brocks are buried, yet I feel we shall never know the burial
location of the following: (1) Ambrose Brock (son of George
and Mary), died 25 June 1814; (2) James Brock, died
September 1831; (3) Mildred Crane Brock, died before 1837;
(4) George Ambrose, died 12 April 1841; (5) his daughter
Elizabeth Brock, died 12 April 1841; and Mildred Crane Brock
Davidson, died about 1845. The Brocks also owned slaves and
this could add some reason to the puzzle, I just wanted to
express my thoughts.
After 1842 the Brock boys began to move westward, the
girls of the family that were married remained. On the 6th
of September 1849 Mary Crawford Brock left Tennessee with
her two sons Vineyard and Russell for Wapello County, Iowa
where her oldest son James Porter Brock was farming. James
Porter and Permelia Hatcher Brock sold Mary, his mother a
parcel of land on 14 April 1850 for $170.00. George Allen,
my Great Grandfather was the last to leave, he left for
Missouri in about 1864 which would of been during the Civil
War.
Information obtained from a diary found in Wasco,
Oregon in the home of Alexander M. and Mary Elizabeth Brock
Hicks, daughter of Russell Wilbur Brock, gives dates and
information about the Brock family.
In the 1850 Census Mary Elizabeth Crawford Brock was
head of the household, she indicated that she was born in
South Carolina. The following children were in the
household: (1) Clestine, (2) Pleasant, (3) William, (4)
Mary, (5) Steward, and (6) Alvin, all was born in Tennessee.
Russell Wilburn Brock son of George and Mary was working for
James P. as a farm hand. The six (6) children under the
care of Mary Crawford were not all her children, Mary,
Steward, and Alvin were her Grand children, belonging to her
son Vineyard. I do not know anything about William Brock or
his parents.
Information from the diary indicates the Vineyard was
married and had 5 children. When he left for Oregon three
were with his mother in Iowa and the two youngest were with
his divorced wife in Tennessee. His wife returned to her
father's plantation in Tennessee. It is unknown how he got
the three children to Oregon, it is believed that he sent
for the three eldest children after he arrived in Oregon.
Giving affidavits for this claim were Russell W. Brock,
Lewis McCallister, Miller Morgan and Thomas Ward.
Mary must of had a reason possible her health, on the
25th of November 1851, she sold her parcel of land to
Clestine and Pleasant, her youngest two children, for the
same price she had paid James Porter and his wife. She was
about 58 years old when she sold the property, and she died
on 27 December 1852. She is buried in the Ralston Cemetery,
Adams Township in Wapello County, Iowa close to where James
Porter and Mary Brock lived. Her head stone is in rather
good condition and reads "Affectionate Mary. wife of G.A.
Brock. Died December 27, 1852 AE.59 yrs 1 mo 15 ds.,
however, it has been broken off at ground level but the
lower part is still visible. James Porter and Permelia also
have two daughters, Amanda and Merit H. Brock, buried close
to their Grandmother. A note of interest, Shelby Porter
Brock has a daughter that married into the Ralston family.
There may be other relatives in this cemetery.
Inconstancy or variances:
1. Mary Elizabeth Crawford place of Birth. (1) IGI File,
Nettie Caroline Brock/Jarriott Anderson Huddleson shows her
mother born Pickett Co., Tennessee. (2) 1850 Census of
Ottumwa Iowa, shows place of birth as South Carolina.
2. Our cousin Charline Martin of the Hildreth line, (a
retired school teacher of Byrdstown) took Pat and I around
and about the country side. Also over and about the Spring
Creek area but nothing on the place of the drowning event.
The Tennessee line is within 6 miles from Albany Kentucky,
which seems to be the area of Brock property and the Spring
Creek runs very close by. Also, the Clear Fork Baptist
Church was very near to Albany. However, George Ambrose was
not a member.
3. The diary appears to have been written by Russell Wilbur
Brock on a day by day event during the trip over the Oregon
trail from Iowa to Oregon, and contains some family items of
interest The diary shows they departed Iowa for California
on the 30th day of April 1850, but went to Oregon. See
Family Group Records of Russell W. Brock for diary
information.
I welcome any additional information, comments or
criticism on this history of George Ambrose Brock and his
wife Mary lizabeth Crawford.

JAMES BROCK
James Brock is alleged to be the brother of Jesse Brock of Harlan Co., KY. In December of 2005, DNA
test results from a descendant of James Brock were returned. When compared with test results from
descendants of Jesse Brock, although not an exact match, proved they did share a common ancestor.

James Brock
(1) UNKNOWN WIFE, AND (2) MILDRED CRANE (BOND)
BY RAYMOND WILLIAM M. SCHUKNECHT SR
KNOB NOSTER, MISSOURI
DECEMBER, 2001
Revised 14 September 2005
I was ask by Harold Crain to write a history on James Brock, and his second wife Mildred “Milly” Crane as a
surrogate in her behalf. I also wish to explain my reasons for believing that James’ first wife may have been a younger
sister to Mildred Crane. This genealogy is written for Crain/Crane but my part of this research you will find the surname of
Brock families are descendants of Mildred “Milly” Crane. My research does not provide a birth record, bible record or
marriage record for either James or Mildred. I also do not know who James Brock’s parents are, however, I have a strong
feeling that his father is George Brock and mother Elizabeth ??, but not part of this project.
East Tennessee Historical Society conferred on me, membership in the First Families of Tennessee to Raymond
William Martin Schuknecht Sr. as a direct descendant of James Brock and Mildred Crane, who settled in Tennessee prior to
statehood, June 1, 1796. Certificate # 1669 issued in Knoxville, Tennessee on 30 June 1995. The material I submitted as
proof of my descent was cataloged and placed in the McClung Historical Collection. There, it will serve as a valuable
resource for other genealogists and family historians.
I started genealogy on the Brocks’ after the death of my mother, Mary Frances Brock Schuknecht in the fall of
1978. My fathers’ parents are German, my mother is a direct descendant of James Brock and Mildred “Milly” Crane. Note
that descendant families of this genealogy uses the surname of Crane not Crain. Mildred is used by her descendants also
“Milly”. Millie is the only name used by James Brock in his WILL and a tax record in 1833 shows the remaining 100 acres of
the total of 250 described in the patent to James Brock went to Milley. Clear Fork Baptist Church used both Milly and Milley,
she joined on the second Saturday of February in 1804.
James Brock, by family tradition, is from England, I find no definite proof of this as my research does not include
his parents. With that said, I will start with this man who was a Patriot of 84 months of the Revolutionary War service in
the Continentals, Halifax District, in North Carolina, and also served with the Overton County Tennessee, Militia, War of
1812, commanded by Capt. Wiley Huddleston, and General Andrew Jackson at the Battle of New Orleans.
During the Revolutionary War it is estimated that he married for the first time about 1781 to a lady of the Crane
family, I as well as others have expressed this same thought, possible a younger sister of Mildred Crane. Its sad to say that
the female gender received no historical name recognition in early families. I would suggest her name to be Mary Ann
Crane.
First, where did James Brock come from? Following are comments that I feel may be fact or lore, they all point to
England for James Brock. Folks of the same nationality would definitely be more apt to associate with others of the same
country. The following are included to get some idea where James Brock may of came from.
1. Harvey Erastus Brock, 18 Feb 1935, a great grandson, writes:
James Brock born 1759 http://www.sekybrocks.com/james-1759.htm

“The best information I have about the Brock family, two brothers named Brock came from England to America
about the year 1760 landing at George Town, Maryland. Moses, James and George were family names.” (Year does not
match. RWS)
2. Joel Brock, son of James Brock and (1) wife. (Family Lore)
“Thomas was perhaps the son of a William Brock (c1763 - ?) who migrated to VA from Bristol, England in 1720. His
son Thomas (1731 - 1800) and (Elizabeth Luckett) had a son (James Brock 1761 - ?) (This date of birth is close. RWS)
3. Pleasant Taylor Brock, James Brocks’ Grandson - a story teller.
“Mildred Crain came from England to US & married Geo. Bond. Bond was killed. She then married James (My
grandfather), they had 6 children, George Ambrose, Allen, Joel, Polly Malinda & Matilda. Also on the reverse side of paper,
John Crain Nat. No., 17473, (I do not think that old man knew that type of info) RWS. Mildred married John Bond, and
children Jesse Walton, Lucy and Nathan. John Bond killed by Indians in March 1781 in Cower, Kentucky. Mildred Crain Bond
married James Brock about 1800 settled in Clinton Co. Kentucky (6 mi. from Albany) died about 1825.

The following is used in an attempt to establish a birth date for James Brock and Mildred Crane. The 1820 Federal
Census, Overton County, Tennessee, lists James Brock age over 45 and (wife) Mildred Crane over 45. The 1830,
Cumberland County, Kentucky Census shows James Brock, 60-70 and his (wife) Mildred Crane 70-80 years of age.

married about 1805 to Martha Owens ??. On 5 April 1839, the Treasury Department comments are: It appears from a
Muster Roll of Capt. Huddleston Company of the Tennessee Militia, to the 13th May 1815, that Joel Brock, a Sergeant,
entered the service the 13th of November 1814, and was Mustered present without remarks. The roll affords no evidence
of his having been injured while in the service (sold his Discharge). Request for pension #12710 was rejected.

There is a real possibility that James first (1) wife died during child birth. James married Mildred about 1788 or
before and she raised these children with her three children of the John Bond marriage. I do not have the particulars on the
Bond children’s age but Elizabeth Brock was about 6 years and Joel was only a couple of year old. The names of these
three Brock children indicate to me a definite Crane/Crain connection.

Washington County, Tennessee, court records for a Jacob Browns estate sale, show that a James Brock purchased One
Horse Colt on 5 August 1786.
I could not find their marriage, but believe that James and Mildred were married in Washington County, Tennessee
in 1788 or before. Their first son was born 9 March 1789.

George is the first child of James and Mildred, he was a justice of the peace (JP) in Fentress County, Tennessee,

Matilada Harriet Brock & Anslem Guthrie family
Matilda married Anslem in Limestone County, Alabama. After the death of her parents they also left Tennessee and
settled in Union County, Illinois. They too were farmers, Matilda is buried in the Guthrie/Pearson Home Cemetery.
These 5 children show a definite connection with the Crane/Crain families. In 1802 James and Mildred moved from
Knox County, Tennessee then to Jackson/Overton Counties Tennessee, and Cumberland County, Kentucky. These counties
are all in close proximity. It is breath taking to see the name of Mildred Crane and Ambrose used so many time. Believe
me there are more of these names used by their descendants.

I'm looking for a stronger pattern of given name similarities. Why would James Brock name his first 3 children
Anne, Elizabeth, and Joel? These first 3 point in the direction of the Crane family, but George Ambrose’s name obviously
came from the Crane family. Mary was quite common among many nationalities, but Allen and Malinda were British, but
mostly in Germanic countries. I believe Matilda is usually British and Mathilda (with and "h") is generally Germanic. Do you
think that James completely abandoned the given names of his blood relatives and used only Crane names? (Kevan
Crawford)
This is further supported by James' participation in the Rev War. If James was non-British then I would believe that
he would have been inclined to be neutral about the War (only 7% supported the war and 3% participated), particularly if
he was Swiss. If he was Swiss then he would tend to be Catholic or Lutheran. It is much easier to justify a Presbyterian
(Church of Scotland) changing to a Baptist in those days.
Reference a book titled A LIGHTHOUSE IN THE WILDERNESS, of which the Brock's are also mentioned in the Early
Times in Clinton County, Kentucky, in connection with the Clear Fork Baptist Church. "A fragmentary list of the organizing
members gives a group of thirteen person: Rev. Denton, his mother Anna Denton (Sen.), his sister Martha Denton, William
Wood, Samuel Wood, Thomas Stockton, George Smith, William Goodson, (Sen.), James and Agnes Crouch, Benjamin and
Cloe Campbell, and James Brock (Sen.)
Brock members and dates of admission are: November 1803 James Brock, February 1804 Milly Brock, Anne Brock,
Mary Brock, Joel Brock, Apr 1804 Nathan Bond, April 1805 Joseph Crawford, and December 1808 Elizabeth Crawford.
William Lee became a member in August 1804, and Anne Brock was also a member of the church. I believe this
William Lee became her husband, and they were married sometime in or about 1805/07.
On fourth Saturday May 1806, Bro Nathan Bond was excluded from this church for immoral conduct in excess of
position. Mildred’s son of first marriage to Jesse Bond.
On fourth Saturday June 1806, Bro James Brock excluded for said conduct.
On fourth Saturday May 1807, Sister Milly Brock suspended for appointing and practicing infant sprinkling. Milly’s
child Matilda Brock was born on 30 December 1806.
On fourth Saturday September 1808, Bro Nathen Bond granted a letter of dismission.
On fourth Saturday September 1815 Bro Joseph Crawford and wife granted a letter of dismission.
On fourth Saturday February, 1822 Polly Harris excluded from the church for joining another society of a different
faith and order.
In Overton County, Tennessee. On March 20, 1806 John Sevier and George Gordon sold Jesse Bond 200 acres on
Lick Creek for $300.00 with James Brock and Lewis Cargile as witnesses.

From book in Overton County Library:
HORSE THIEVES FACED BRANDING IRONS AS PENALTY
Branding for horse stealing in Overton County was the punishment meted out by the early courts held in Monroe,
which was the county seat of this county 1810-35, according to old Record Books now in the office of the Criminal and
Circuit Court Clerk of Livingston, Tennessee.
Another case noted is that The State Vs. James Brock, convicted of horse stealing, on March 12, 1817. The court
order is a follows:
"The sentence of the law therefore is that you, James Brock, be imprisoned six months from this day, and that on
the first, second and third days of the next county court to be held for the county in the town of Monroe, you be placed in
the pillory for the space of two hours each day and on the several days, and that on the third day between the hours of 11
o'clock and 3, you receive on your bare back twenty lashes, and that you be branded on the brawn of the left thumb with
the letters "HT", and that you pay the costs of this prosecution, and remain in custody until the costs are paid and the
Sheriff of Overton County see that this sentence be put into execution."
"Whereupon the suggestion of the Sheriff that the jail of Overton County is insufficient, it is ordered by the court
that the Sheriff transmit the said James Brock to the Jail of White County for safekeeping, and that he have him in the town
of Monroe on the several days appointed to receive his punishment."
Michael J. Hogan wrote, - descendant of Mary Brock Harris and Allen Brock lines.
Letter dated 25 August 1981. My research on my BROCK line is presently stopped on "dead center." I'm unable to
discover any provable material prior to James Brock, my 3rd great-grandfather. He was born about 1765. I have
considerable information about him (and his wife Mildred Crane "Bond" Brock) but I don't know his parents nor when, or
where, he was born. He owned land on both sides of the Tennessee and Kentucky border (as early as 1802 in what was
then the Tennessee and Kentucky border (as early as 1802 in what was then Jackson County, Tennessee) just as his
grandson James White Brock owned adjoining land on both sides of the Smith County and the Cherokee County border in
Texas as early as 1848. James Brock was a charter member of the Clear Fork Baptist Church when it was constituted on 1
April 1802 (then in Cumberland County) and later in Albany, Clinton County, Kentucky. My best judgment is that my
Brocks came from North Carolina or Virginia but I have found lots of them in South Carolina and Georgia, as well as in what
was later Tennessee and Kentucky. (Michael J. Hogan deceased on 17 September 1996.)

In the years of 1775 and 1783 during the Revolutionary War James Brock lived in Halifax County of North Carolina.
A request was made to the Archives in Raleigh North Carolina for James Brocks' time and service in the Revolutionary War.
North Carolina's, State Archivist, Thornton W. Mitchell in a letter dated 26 July 1977, I quote; "Warrant No. 4573 for 640
acres of reserved lands was issued for Brock on 9 February 1797 in view of his 84 months service as a private in the
Continental Line". (Michael J. Hogan)
Mildred Crane was first married to John Bond, he was killed by Indians at Nick O'Jack Cave in Tennessee in 1787.
Their three children were named Nathan, Lucy, and Jesse Walton Bond. Jessie Walton Bond was born on 25 December
1777 in Jonesboro, Washington County, Tennessee. This information was submitted to the LDS Library by Lawrence A.
Miner of Salt Lake City, Utah. Reuben Bates genealogy show that Mildred was married to a George Bond, which may have
come from Pleasant Taylor Brock, as he also noted that Mildred's father was George Crane.
Summary: Cumberland County Kentucky and Overton County Tennessee is where James and Mildred raised
their children. All of their children married and became land owners in Overton, and Fentress Counties. In 1879 a new
county was formed by the name of Pickett County which wedged in between the former two counties. I do not wish to
count the number of land transaction that are on filed in these counties that our ancestors made in the 1800's.
The question that need the most attention, who are Mildred Crane’s parents? I do not believe there is any question
as to James Brock being married to Mildred Crane. Mildred Crane in my judgment was born 1757/1758 and could be
accounted for with the male boys of Ambrose Crane and Elizabeth----- children. James Brocks’ first marriage is wide open
for debate, is she a Crane or not, but I would place her date of birth 1761/1762 or younger. Written by Raymond
Schuknecht Sr. this 21 December 2000.

James served in Bradley's Company 18 in 1779-80.
After having his first 3 children in NC, his first wife
disappears from the record between 1785-8. Her name is
presently unknown. He married his second wife, Mildred
Crane, the first wife of Jesse Bond, killed by Indians in
1787, who also had 3 children.
For his service in the Revolution he received after 1790
several land grants in United States Territory South of the
Ohio in the area around present day Knoxville, TN. Land
records show that James owned the Swan Pond property in
Knoxville where the first stone house in the territory was
built in 1795 which is now known as the Ramsey house and
is on the National Historic Register. But he also purchased
other property in the area.
In 1799 James signed the marriage bond for his oldest
daughter with his mark, "X." Later he marked his
documents with "B." Using this mark, James entered into a
land transaction in Feb 1801 that eventually led to an
extended legal dispute over compensation in which Nathaniel
Evans is the complainant and James is the defendant. The
court ruled in favor of James and costs were awarded to
James in 1807.
In 1803 James moved to Overton Co, TN where his daughter
lived. James was admitted to the Clear Fork Baptist Church
(Albany Clinton Co, KY) in Nov 1803. Church records have
numerous entries for James and his family. In July 1813
James was excluded from the church for unfriendly
treatment of his wife and repeated swearing.
In 1822 James received 250 acres in Cumberland Co (now
Clinton Co), KY under the Kentucky Land Warrant Series.
Nearing the end, James made his will in June 1831. This
will is on file in Cumberland Co. His will mentions his
daughter Elizabeth, his son Joel, and 2 grandson's William
and Allen Lee.

Notes from Ancestry Tree v51t0889.ged
James B BROCK was and his wife, Mildred CRANE (BOND) BROCK, were my
4th great grand parents. They were from Tennessee and Kentucky - some
parts of their lands were in each state - and this fact - plus the
changing of county names - has made research difficult and somewhat
confusing. The 1802 tax list for Jackson County Tennessee, shows James
B. BROCK, as the owner of 640 acres of land in that county. Shown just
above him on the list are Jesse and Nathan BOND (his step sons). On 20
MAR 1806, Jesse BOND purchased 200 acres of land on Lick Creek in
Jackson County, Tennessee. (In 1806 this area became Overton County,
Tennessee). James B. BROCK, was a witness to the signature on the deed.
James BROCK (Sr.), was a charter member of the Clear Fork Baptist
Church (then in Cumberland County) of Albany, Kentucky, when it was
constituted on 1 APR 1802. James B. BROCK (Jr.) was received as a
member of this church (by experience) in NOV 1803. Millie, Ann, Mary,
and Jole BROCK were received as members in FEB 1804. In the War of
1812, James BROCK, of Overton County, Tennessee was a private in
Captain Wiley HUDDLESTON's Co. of Mil. Inf., 3 Reg't Tennessee Militia and
saw action under General Andrew JACKSON at the Battle of New Orleans.
(Wiley HUDDLESTON - probably a son of the above Captain - married
Permelia C. BROCK - , a granddaughter of James BROCK ). Michael J.
HOGAN ,(M.J.) my uncle has the military record of James BROCK. George,
Allen, and Joel, sons of James B. BROCK served in the War of 1812, and
my uncle M.J. has his military record. The 1820 U.S. Census, Overton
County, Tennessee, lists James BROCK as age 45 and over, his wife as 45
and over, and 4 sons and 4 daughters. Would extimate from this census
that James BROCK was born about 1765. This census also lists George,
Joel and Allen Brock and their families. It also lists Elizabeth BROCK as
45 years and older, as a head of household (perhaps she was the mother
of James BROCK). The 1830 U.S. Census, Cumberland County, Kentucky,
lists James BROCK as 60-70 years of age, (would indicate born about
1765) and a female member of his houshold as 70-80 years of age (his
wife). This census also lists Allen BROCK, as 30-40 years, and his
family. The 1830 U.S. Census shows George A. BROCK, 30-40 years, and
family; Joel BROCK, 30-40 years and family are listed in for Overton
County, Tennessee. On 17 AUG 1820, James BROCK, of Overton County,
Tennessee, deeded 128 acres of land in that county to George A. BROCK,
of the same county, for a consideration of $110. The land adjoined that
of Joseph HARRIS. (Mary "Polly" BROCK, James' daughter married a
Joseph HARRIS). Joel BROCK, (a son of James') and John C. BOND
(probably a relative of James' wife) were witnesses to the signature of
James BROCK, on the deed. M. J. HOGAN, my uncle has a copy of this deed.
By patent dated in 1822 (my uncle M.J. HOGAN, has a copy of it) James
BROCK acquired title to 250 acres of land on the "Waters of Wolf River"
in Cumberland County, Kentucky. On 15 JUL 1827, James BROCK, for a
consideration of $400, sold 150 acres of the above land to Allen BROCK
(his son). (My uncle M. J. HOGAN , has a copy of the deed). Reserarch
indicates that the remaining 100 acres of the total of 250 as described
in the patent to James BROCK, went to "Milley" BROCK , for it was
assessed to her on the 1833 tax rolls of Cumberland County, Kentucky.
(The tax rolls for the prior years are lost). (Was Milley the daughter of
James?; was she the "Millie" who joined the Clear Fork Baptist Church in
February of 1804?; or was she James B BROCK's wife?). Marion A. BROCK
of Columbia Missouri, has done a lot of research on BROCK. He is a
second great grand son of George A BROCK. He seems to indicate that
James B BROCK married "Elizabeth" Malinda CRANE, widow of Jesse BOND.
He further indicates that the wife of George Ambrose BROCK, was Mary
VINYARD. (M.J. "I rather doubt this bit of information.).
