(3) GEORGE BROCK (Sr.), born 1680-90 in England (descendants say), was in New Kent Co., VA, by 1703 when his son Joshua was born, according to St. Peters Parish vestry book.
"George lived in St.
Paul's Parish of New Kent County, Virginia in 1711/12, when his
land was processioned and its bounds placed him in Precinct 24.
He was still there on 17 March 1715/16 when again, Precinct 24
was processioned. By 2 April 1720, this Precinct had been split
and George was in No. 32, along with only two of his old neighbors,
John Sims and John Crenshaw. His new neighbors were: John Williamson,
Edward Harris, and Thomas Johnson (all born by 1699)."
In 1720 George's land was in Hanover
Co.

On 11 Jul 1719 George was issued a 300-acre patent on the West branch of Stonehorse Creek, St. Paul's Parish, New Kent Co., adjoining John Symes and Christopher Clark, for importation of six persons (@ 50 ac each): Robert Selector, Solomon Hobson, Percy Kelly, James Harrell, Wm. Morrill, John Ludley.
On the same day, John Sims patented 200 acres on branches of Stonehorse Creek, adjoining George Brock's corner, George Brock's line, and Christopher Clark, for 20 shillings. The patents were signed by Governor Alexander Spotswood.
Such patents were issued after the land was occupied, the patent applied for and approved, and officially surveyes, a process which could take a few years, for clearly George occupied his by 1711/12, the term we use in this time period because their Gregorian calendar New Year began March 25th.
This is George Sr's first patent:
It appears that GEORGE Sr. moved to Albemarle Co., VA, where on 20 Aug 1748 he patented 95 acres on both sides of Bremore Creek near the head.
On 29 Nov 1749 in Albemarle Co., he conveyed in a Deed of Gift, all his estate to his wife Katharine 'without any TROUBLE from any person . . . Indenture . . . for consideration of the love and affection which he bore her of ALL his estate of whatever kind during her life. This Deed of Gift was in lieu of Katharine receiving dower rights in George Brock's estate.
This implies she was NOT his first wife and there could be trouble from the children of his first wife. However, it appears that Kathryn died or left the house, as three years later, 10 Sep 1751, in Albemarle Co., George Brock wrote his will, ' . . . being sick and weak of body . . .' and bequeathed to his loving grandson John BROCK, son of George BROCK II part of his plantation of 95 acres on Bremore Creek, plus cattle, and the residue to his friend, John Melton in consideration of the care he had given to George during his life. George Brock made his mark, 'gB.' GEORGE BROCK, Sr., died in Albemarle Co., 1752 Patrick Napier witnessed both the deed and the will.
[Burnetts and Their Connections, by June Baldwin Bork, 1980]. She lists George Brock II as the husband of Kathryn Napier, and their four children as Catharine, Joshua, Allen, and Moses.
No one claimed 50 acres for transporting George to Virginia, which suggests he was born there, though one of the following could've been his father (Lancaster Co. is not far from New Kent traveling by water):
On 7 Jun 1666, Joseph Bayley patented 1,250 acres in Lancaster Co. for transporting 25 persons, including George Brocke.
On 26 Jun 1666, John Simpson patented _ ac on the Rappahannock River for transporting 13 persons including George Broches.
In 1720, George Brock's land on Bremore Creek and St. Paul's Parish were in newly-organized Hanover Co.
George BROCK II may have been the father of MOSES BROCK, born 1751-1755, of Halifax Co., VA, although a descendant says Moses was born in England and immigrated to VA abt 1774. Moses had a son George, born in Franklin Co., VA, some of whose children were born in Grainger Co., TN. Moses's son George had a son James whose son David Brock moved to MO in the 1850's and had two daughters who married Daugherty brothers. This is David Brock's daughter Delila Jane who md. 1st Florinton Bennett, 2nd John Hewlet, and 3rd Alonza Shrum.
