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.

Spouse: Dora Flora Alice Brock. Dora Flora Alice Brock and Jacob Lee Brock were married on 15 October 1893 in Wasco, Sherman, Oregon. Children were: Delia Brock, Fred Brock, Irvin Evert Brock, Jacob Melvin Brock, Ila Mae Brock, Lloyd Rodney Brock.

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.).

Spouse: Unknown . Children were: Joel Brock, Elizabeth (Betsy) Brock, Anna Brock.

Spouse: Mildred Milly Crane. Children were: George Ambrose BROCK, Mary Polly Brock, Allen Brock, Malinda Brock, Matilda Brock.
