The goal of Brock Ancestry is to document the Brock line of Kentucky with the main subject of research being the line  of Jesse Brock, progenitor of the Brocks that lived in southeastern Kentucky. Here you will find documentation in the form of public records; consisting of census, court records & deeds, along with other items. 

In our quest to learn Jesse Brock's ancestry, our research has expanded to include data pertaining to the Brocks in Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, as well as other states. New data is being adding regularly so please check back often.

BROCK CONNECTIONS - BROCK DNA PROJECT

In the spring of 2005 the Brock DNA Project began. For those that are not familiar with genetic genealogy, a male of today will carry the same genetic markings as his direct male ancestor many generations back. By comparing participants test results it can be determined if the various Brock lines in the project share a common ancestor.

Matches within the project have proved a family connection between the descendants of Jesse Brock and those of other Brock lines. This includes the line of Elder George Brock, Captain John Brock and Jehu Brock of Laurel Co., KY, Jeremiah Brock, born 1814 Kentucky, Henry Brock, born 1818 Indiana and James Brock, who has long been suspected to be the brother of Jesse Brock. These matches have expanded our research beyond the boundaries of Kentucky and into early Virginia to a group of Brocks whose progenitor was a George Brock Senior, born about 1680, who can be located as early as 1703 in New Kent Co., Virginia. George Brock Senior is known to have at least two sons, Joshua Brock and George Brock Junior.  Joshua Brock migrated to the southerly portion of Virginia as early as the mid 1740's.  George Brock Junior can be located in the counties of Goochland, Albemarle and Cumberland.  George Brock Junior is currently the only Brock that has been found to reside in Cumberland County where Jesse Brock stated he was born.  Descendants of George Brock Senior were located in Albemarle, Goochland, Cumberland, Hanover, Henry, Franklin, Pittsylvania, Lunenburg & Fluvanna and other counties and northern North Carolina counties where Jesse Brock was known to reside.  Efforts are underway to gather as much information available on these lines of Brocks. As data is collected it will posted on Brock Ancestry. 

BROCK - PRIDY CONNECTION, FRANKLIN CO. VIRGINIA
The Brock's of Franklin Co. VA have showed a connection to Nancy Pridy.  Was this a neighbor friendship, or could there possibly have been a family connection?  In Sept 1789 Nancy's daughter Agness married Hezekiah Branson.  Moses Brock and Mary Brock were witnesses on the permission slip.  In Dec of 1789 Nancy's daughter Sally married David Rich.  Moses Brock was the surety, Allen Brock and David Thomason were the witnesses for the permission slip.  In 1790 David Thomason married another daughter of Nancy's named Elizabeth.  Hezekiah Branson, her son in law was the surety.  David Thomason is listed a few other times in association with the Brock's.  In Feb 1792 Moses Brock sold 100 acres on Snow Creek to David Thomason.  In Dec of the same year David Thomason, along with Elisha Estes, were witnesses to a deed between Joshua Brock and Thomas Williamson.
