It’s Family Time~Francis M. Brock and Lohoma Six

Sometime back in the early 1800 my 4th Great Grand Uncle left Chesterfield County with his family and moved to Hinds County, Mississippi.

I believe this migration occurred sometime around 1818 when Gilbert Purvis, James F. Purvis, Joseph Purvis, Henry Howell, William Brock, Valentine Brock and his wife Elizabeth Lundy and many other families left Chesterfield and migrated into Henry County, Georgia, onward to Clarke County, Alabama and finally settling in Mississippi..

William settles his wife Charlotte and his 7 children in hinds County, Mississippi. At the time of their settlement Francis and his baby sister were not yet born and Sarah would see the arrival of her baby brother, in 1823, at the tender age of three. 

Francis M. Brock was born about 1824 in Washington Parish, Louisiana. His father, William was a farmer and son Francis followed in his father's footsteps. In late 1843 or early 1844 (before 22 Jan 1844) his father would pass away. His Mother had already passed away sometime between 1830 and 1840 with his Father remarrying in September 1842. Tragically, the step-mother, Katherine Delilah Jordan, would also pass away before 22 December 1845.

Francis M. Brock would marry Lohama Six on 23 Dec 1840 in Hinds County, Mississippi. Lohama Six, was the daughter of Phillip Six and Charlotte Selser. Lohoma was born about 1820 in MS. She died about 1887 at the age of 67 in Cayuga, Hinds Co., MS.

Francis M. Brock and Lohama Six had one known child:

i. Emily "Emma" Brock, born abt 1842, MS; married David Henderson Larr.



Francis M. Brock is my 1st Cousin 5 times removed.
