George Brock Senior of New Kent Co. VA, later Albemarle, always signed with his mark GB or Gb. Although slight, it leaves some speculation as to if this is the George Brock Senior of New Kent & Albemarle County. Of importance however is the witness Patrick Napier. Patrick Napier was a witness to George Brock Senior's Will.
