George Brock (1785 VA -1865 Scioto Co., OH)

Believed by Descendants to be a son of Jesse Brock & Rebecca Howard

Updated 11 Mar 2011

From 1798 to 1813 (except possibly 1799) George Brock lived continuously near Jesse Brock, Revolutionary veteran, and family, moving with them from Russell Co., VA, to Knox Co., KY.

In 1798, Jesse and George Brock were on the Russell Co. Personal Property Tax List. Jesse in 1798-99 was in Kentucky Co., VA, the area that became Knox Co., Clay Co., and then Harlan Co., KY; while in 1799, George was the only Brock still listed in Russell Co. In Mar 1801 he was on the Knox Co., tax list.

 

 Sylvester Brock (1824-1881), son of George Brock & 2nd wife Margaret Hudson

 George Brock always liked telling his youngest daughter Lucretia Ann BROCK about having to run the Gauntlet when captured in the War of 1812 and that he survived because he was half Indian. Lucretia was b. 12 May 1846 OH and d. 10 Jul 1929 Edwards Co., IL) She married Eli Bailey.

In May 1804, George was the subject of a lawsuit in Knox Co., KY:

George and Jesse surveyed an 1806 Kentucky land grant which James Brock assigned to his brother Aaron.

In 1812, George enlisted in Montgomery Co., KY., to serve in the War of 1812; he was a Pvt. in 13th Regt. (Dudley's) Kentucky Militia.

 George Brock was drafted into the War of 1812 from Montgomery Co., KY. He served as a Private in the 13th Kentucky Militia, Captain Archibald Morrison's Co of Infantry. Colonel Dudley commanded the 13th Kentucky regiment. In 1813 this regiment was marching to reinforce William Henry Harrison at Fort Meigs, OH, whose troops were under the threat of attack from the British General Proctor and Tecumseh. Harrison decided to attack first and Colonel Dudley led the 13th KY Militia into an ambush. The British and Indians were driven back and the Kentuckians chased them for miles, only to be ambushed by the Indians (this was a favorite Indian trick - to retreat, then ambush the pursuers).

George Brock was taken prisoner along with 600 others.

Our story says that George Brock and several other soldiers were made to run the gauntlet. The captives were told that if they got through the lines of about 50 Indians and reached an old building at the end of that distance, they would be granted their freedom. But if any should fall beneath the tomahawks and clubs of the savages between whom the captives had to run, they would be put to death. One man was pulled out as he ran and was put to death. George Brock made it through the gauntlet, attributing to his stamina to the fact that he himself was half Indian and would not show signs of suffering. Tecumseh came upon the scene just then. He scolded his braves, saying that he was ashamed of his men for torturing prisoners. He gave George Brock a hunting shirt to cover his naked back and said "He was a man."

George Brock was set free at Port Huron, OH, and our legend says he walked barefoot back to Lexington to be mustered out of the Militia.

George Brock was listed on the 1810 Knox Co., KY, census. His War of 1812 pension application states he was 65 years old in 1851, making his birth year 1786. His wife was Elizabeth Hake; one of their children was Lucretia Brock Bailey, b. 1846 d. 1927.

 In 1813 James Brock assigned his Knox Co., KY, land grant certificate to George Brock. Other names on the certificate were Aaron Brock and their brother-in-law William Blanton. In various Kentucky land grants to Jesse and sons, other family members were surveyors or chain bearers.

 

It may be that George later received a land grant in Ohio for his military service, for he moved from Knox Co., KY, to Scioto Co., OH, 1816-1819 before Harlan Co. was cut from Knox in 1819. He assigned his brother James his 100 acre land grant No. 12774 on Certif. No. 226 dated May 7th 180_, on the south side of Cumberland River at mouth of a drain. Receipt dated 13 Nov 1815 for $17.24, Chainmen were his brother-in-law and brother, Wm. Blanton and Aaron Brock, the grant date was 15 May 1816. George was listed in the 1820 Scioto Co., OH, census with a wife, two sons, and a daughter.

In 1850, George and family were enumerated in the Jackson Twp., Jackson Co., OH , census (Jackson Co. borders Scioto Co. on the east), as:
hh 282-290: George Brock 65 farmer real estate value $150 VA cannot read/write, Sarah Brock 46 KY (his 3rd wife); Martha J. 14 OH school within year, David 8 OH school within year, Lucretia A. 4 OH.

In 1860, George and Sarah were enumerated at Iron Furnace P.O., Bloom Twp., Scioto Co., OH, in hh 306-298 as George Brock 75 farmer $400-$300 VA cannot read/write, Sarah Brock 56 KY cannot read/write, David 18 farm laborer OH, Lucretia A. 14 OH attended school.

George Brock had, by three wives, a total of fifteen children. He died abt 1865 in Scioto Co.

The Y-chromosome DNA tests of two of George's patrilineal descendants shows their haplogroup to be R1b1b2, unlike descendants of sons of Jesse Brock listed in the settlement of Jesse's estate in Harlan Co., KY. George's two tested descendants do, however, match several men named Roberts. This suggests to me that George's mother was an unwed girl named Brock and his father was a Roberts. It would be very interesting to learn what Roberts lived in the same area in S.W. VA as George and Jesse before they moved to what became Harlan Co., KY. It wouldn't be surprising, for example, if Jesse Brock or one of his siblings had such a daughter. Women left few legal records.
