Charles A. Brock was a son of Alsey Brock and his wife Lucy Morris. His brother was Pleasant A. Brock. Lucy had a sister named Sarah “Sallie” Morris that married Alsey’s brother Hezekiah Brock, who is my 2nd Great Grandfather. 

The Brock Boys – Charles & Pleasant - were Retail Merchants in the town of Cheraw, South Carolina.

Charles A. Brock married Sarah J. LNU (last name unknown) sometime between 1860 and 1870. Sarah J. Brock is in the household with Charles and his Mother Lucy in 1870 Census for Chesterfield County.  Sarah J. Brock was born about 1844. If you have any info on her maiden name please contact me by e-mail. Charles & Sarah did not have any children.

In March 1880, Charles, his Mother Lucy and his Wife Sarah J., signed a Cestui Que Trust[1] (DB 6, page 782-785) naming Mary Kezzie Brock, a niece, as beneficiary.
