An extensive obituary appears in the Fresno Bee (Fresno, California), 13 jan 1952: "Mrs. Mary Brock Dies At 93 After 89 Years In Valley. HANFORDDD, Kings Co., Jan. 12.—Mrs. Mary Jane Brock, who lived all but four of her 93 years in the San Joaquin Valley, died to day in a Hanford hospital of the infirmities of old age. She was a daughter of a pioneed, Jonathan E. Rea, who came to California in 1847 and was born in San Gabriel in the shadow of the mission where her parents were married. Her father, a veteran of the Mexican War, panned for gold on the Feather River after James Marshall's Coloma discovery became known, made a comfortable stake and returned to the East in 1849 to organize a wagon train. He helped to guide the train back across the plains in 1850 and fell in love with Agnes Hildreth, who was accompanying her parents West. They were married in the Mission San Gabriel and lived in Southern California until 1863 when they moved to Fresno County and settled near Raymond in what is now Madera County. Rea was a sheep man with extensive holdings and was away a great deal of the time. One of Mrs. Brock's early recollections was of the tims bandits came during the absence of the menfolk, ransacked the family home looking for valuables and departed with most of the food supply. She was married in 1880 to Lawrence Reynolds, but he died within a short time. In 1886 she married Thomas J. Brock, and soon afterward moved to Alameda County where her husband was a grain farmer for several years. The couple came to Hanford in 1902 and Mrs. Brock remained here until her death. Brock died in 1915. Brock, J. W. Barber and H. Clawson were among the first to plant grain in the Tulare Lake Basin as the water of the once vast lake began to recede. Mrs. Brock used to recall that Hanford's main business section was on Sixth Street, between Irwin and Douty Streets, when she came here, and the town boasted 32 saloons. Surviving are four daughters, Mrs. Louise Drennen, for many years the business manager of the Kings General Hospital; Mrs. Gertrude Church, also of Hanford, Mrs. Sarah Benedict, Santa Cruz and Mrs. Evelyn Jensen, Coalinga; two sons, Charles Reynolds, Hanford, and Thomas J. Brock, Los Angeles; a brother, Jonathan E. Rea, Jr., retired Madera County probation officer; 17 grandchildren, 17 great grandchildren, and three great great grandchildren. The funeral will be Tuesday at 2 PM in the Peoples Undertaking Parlor. Burial will be in the Hanford Cemetery."

He was one of the relatives (brother-in-law) who reported the death Pierre Riou of Collanges, Chalencon in 1675. He was probably not the Jean Reboul of Boffres who served as minister at La B�tie-de-Crussol 1653-1668 and Boffres 1669-1683, as that fact would surely have been noted in the register at Chalencon.

Apparently bourgeois of Morges, resided 1819 at Clarens or perhaps Pont Farb�, near Prangins.
Magdelaine appears at the baptism of her grand-daughter in 1675, but without her husband. Since the names of all the grandparents except the wife of Mathieu Riou are already known for this event (from the contract for the second marriage of the child's mother), it follows that Magdelaine Reboul must be the wife of Mathieu Riou. It is likely she had a brother Mathieu who was the godson of Mathieu Rousson of St. Jean Chambre, or else that Mathieu Reboul was the father of Magdelaine.
