Jesse BROCK
1. Jesse BROCK
was born on 8 Dec 1751 in Cumberland Co., VA1
and died on 13 Oct 1843 in Harlan Co., KY2
at age 91.
Remarks:
Some people list Jesse Brock's name as Jesse James Brock. To date,
Brock Ancestry has found no evidence to support this claim.
From all indications the false claim that Jesse was married
to Elizabeth Osborn, wife of James Brock, son of Jesse,
caused the error.
Notes:
"Jesse Brock was the first settler of Wallins
Creek Kentucky. He was about a three-quarter Indian, and had so much
Indian blood in him, that he had no trouble in living among the
Indians who were thickly settled in the mountains when he first
came, raised his family among them, hunted along with them, with no
trouble whatever." Excerpt from the interview of Elijah Brock with
Annie Walker Burns
Jesse
Brock RW Pension alication regarding places he had lived: "When
I was called into service the last time; And the same spring after
the close of the war I moved Back to Guilford County in the state
of North Caroline(Spring of 1781), Where I lived a few
years But I can not remember the precise time. I then moved to
Franklin county in the state of Virginia where I lived several
years; I then moved Back to Guilford County State of North Caroline
Where I lived several years, But I cant say how many I then moved to
Russell County in the state of Virginia Where I lived four years, I
then moved to Knox County State of Kentucky which was after wards
stricken off to Harlan County Kentucky Where I now live, I have been
here thirty four or five years"
From Jesse's statement Jesse lived in Guilford Co. NC until 1783.
He then moved to Franklin Co. VA(Henry Co. VA until 1785) for
several years then moved back to Guilford Co. NC for several years.
He then moved to Russell Co. VA where he lived before migrating to
Knox Co. KY, now Harlan Co. KY. From Jesse's statement and
with evidence confirming Jesse was living in Russell Co. VA as
early as 1795, we can determine his time between Guilford Co. NC and
Franklin Co. VA between 1783-1794.
In searching the personal property tax list and land tax list for
Henry and Franklin counties for the years 1782-1795 there are at
least two Jesse Brock's living in the area of these counties
beginning in 1787. At least one Jesse Brock is listed
continuously through 1802. During the years of 1789 and 1790
two Jesse Brock's appear on the Henry Count tax list. In 1790
these two Jesse's are designated as Jesse and Jesse Jr., which does
not necessarily mean they were related, instead distinquish the
younger Jesse with the reference Junior. The years 1789 and
1790 does fit into the time frame Jesse could have been in Henry
County, however there is no way we can confirm without a doubt that
it is him. The other Jesse appears to be the same Jesse who was
listed in the Pittsylvania Co. Va militia unit under the command of
Capt. Jonathan Hanby. This unit was placed in Henry Co. VA
after it's formation. This would place the 2nd Jesse of
similar to age to the Jesse Brock of Harlan County. It seems
likely this 2nd Jesse was connected to the Brock's in Pittsylvania,
Henry and Franklin counties that descend from George Brock Senior
born 1680 and found in early New Kent Co. VA. Descendants of
George Brock Senior have proved a relationship with Jesse Brock of
Harlan Co. KY descendants.

Jesse married
Rebecca
HOWARD (no confirmation on Rebecca Howard being the name of
Jesse's wife).
Children from this
marriage were:
2 M i.
George
BROCK was born about 1777.
Notes: Although no George Brock was mentioned in Elijah
Brock's testimony given to Annie Walker Burns and was not listed in
Jan 1856 Harlan Co.,
KY Court Order, circumstantial evidence indicates a
possible relationship between a George Brock and Jesse Brock.
George Brock can be continuously located in the same
areas of Russell Co., VA and Knox Co., KY as Jesse Brock. A George
Brock appeared on tax list from 1798 to 1813 (with the exception of 1799) and
from 1815-1817, along with land grants, which included Jesse and
other family members. Brock Ancestry believes this gives evidence of a George
Brock being the son of Jesse.
In 1806, a land grant wherein James Brock assigned a
certificate over to Aaron Brock, both a George Brock and Jesse Brock
are listed together as surveyors. In a later grant of 1813, James Brock,
assigned his certificate over to a George Brock. Other names listed
on the certificate were that of Aaron Brock and William Blanton. In viewing the
various land grants by Jesse and his sons, often members of Jesse's
family made up the surveying team and by a George being listed among them, gives
evidence of a family connection. By 1819, when Harlan was formed, no
George Brock is listed in Knox or Harlan counties.
It has been stated this George Brock is the same
George Brock who migrated to Scioto Co., OH. However, two
descendants of this George Brock, from two different sons, are participants in the
Brock DNA project. In comparing the test results of this George
Brocks descendants to those of the confirmed Jesse Brock descendants they did not share
a common ancestor and cannot be related. As such, the George Brock
of Scioto Co., OH is not a
biological
son of Jesse Brock.

Notes:
*Mentioned by name in
Elijah Brock testimony
given to Annie Walker Burns.
Elijah states: "James Brock was the oldest son of Jesse
Brock married Elizabeth." Notation by Burns reads
"probably Osborn"

Note:
Deceased prior to 1856. James' last legal record found thus far was a deed dated Jul
1839. He did not appear in the 1840
census. Which narrows his date
of death between these two dates.
*Some researchers gives
James' name as James Calvin Brock. To date, not one document has
been located by

William Sr. conveyed his land in Harlan Co., KY upon the waters of

Notes:
Mentioned by name in the testimony of Elijah Brock
given to Annie Walker Burns. Elijah states: "His next oldest
daughter married Terry Melton, her name was Sally Brock." (The naming of
Terry Melton as the husband of Sally Brock is an error. As Elijah
mentioned Terry Melton by name this could possibly be a clue to the first
wife of Terry Melton, said to be Charlotte, being the daughter of
Jesse Brock)
Sally Coldiron named as one of the six living heirs
in the January 1856 Harlan Co., KY Court Order.

seem likely that the older male and female in this household would
be Jesse and his wife.

Coldiron Sally 54 F
VA
Court Record: Jan
1856, Harlan Co., KY. Sally Coldiron named as one of the 6 living
heirs of Jesse Brock
Sarah married
John
COLDIRON on 13 Mar 1811 in Knox Co., KY. John was born between
1791 and 1800108
and died before 17 Jul 1844 in Harlan Co., KY.109
Although we have found no documentation to confirm Jesse
Brock had a daughter named Charlotte, based on Melton family
information Terry Melton's first wife was Charlotte Brock,
daughter of Jesse, who died young. After the death of
Charlotte, Terry Melton married Sarah Ann Templeton, said to
be daughter of Amy Brock. There is circumstancial
evidence that indicates Terry Melton had a relationship with
the Jesse Brock family by way of the testimony of Elijah
Brock where he states "His next oldest daughter married
Terry Melton, her name was Sally Brock". Although
Elijah errored in naming this daughter Sally the fact that
he named Terry Melton as a son in-law is an indication he
was married to one of Jesse's daughters.
11F x. Charlotte Brock born
about 1800, died about 1824. Charlotte married Terry
Melton and is said to of had two children together: Preston,
born 1819 and Polly born 1821.
