BROCK CONNECTIONS

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 we can determine if the various Brock families 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, born about 1680, who can be located as early as 1703 in New Kent Co., Virginia. Members of this George Brocks family were located in Albemarle, Goochland, Cumberland, Hanover as well as other counties in Virginia. Efforts are underway to gather as much data and information available on this line of Brocks.
