Marriage of Alexander Brock and Sallie White


James Brock and Martha Jane Teal were married about 1844 in Chesterfield County, South Carolina. Between 27 April 1845 and 30 December 1847, the birth of their first two children, James and Martha Jane moved their family to Barbour County, Alabama.

Their sixth child, a boy, they called Alexander L. Brock was born 21 August 1855 in Barbour County, Alabama.

On 30 December 1880, Alexander Brock married Amanda Knight, daughter of Herbert S.C. Knight and Mary Zetirow.


We next find Alex. in the 1910 Census for Barbour as a widower indicating that Amanda Knight Brock, had passed away sometime before 1910.


Next, we find Alex in May 1911 when he again marries; this time to Sallie White. Sarah was the daughter of  Henry White and Vashti Lewis.

Alexander L. Brock and Sarah “Sallie” White were married on 17 May 1911 at the home of their magistrate, J. A. Phillips.




There were no children born of either of these marriages. Alexander L. Brock died 5 March 1937 and was buried in the Pea River Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Clio, Barbour County, Alabama. Sallie died 10 years later on  7 August 1947. 

Alexander L. Brock is my 1st Cousin 3 times removed.
