This past week I found myself researching for additional information on the James Brock – Elizabeth Purvis lineage and their connection to my Brock line. There is no doubt, they are related, most likely as shown in the within lineage charts. But I must add a caveat here: The first two generations lack the detail proof needed to say beyond reasonable doubt that this is the correct lineage. The James Brock line is proven up to and including James Brock. My Line is proven and documented to my 2nd Great Grandfather Hezekiah “Hugh” Brock.
Jasper Sargent Brock was borne 18 September 1881 in Brockdale, Washington Parish, Louisiana. His parents were Dr. James Monroe Brock and Armentha Martina Holmes. His great grand father James Brock and Great Grandmother Mary Elizabeth Purvis left Chesterfield County, SC about 1818-1819 and migrated to Alabama and Mississippi.
Jasper Sargent Brock, age 21, married Beulah Baylis, age 15, on 10 January 1903 in Brookhaven, Lincoln County, Mississippi. To this union were born the following children:
i. Jane Brock, born 25 May 1904, Louisiana; married Lawrence John Dumestre, Jul 1923, New Orleans, Orleans, Louisiana; died 20 Jan 1983, New Orleans, Orleans, Louisiana.
ii. James Monroe "Jimmie" Brock was born 21 Oct. 1905 in Washington Parish, Louisiana.
iii. Mildred Brock, born 22 Feb 1906, Washington Parish, Louisiana; married Robie Robicheaux, abt 1934, New Orleans, LA; died 19 Dec 1996, Hammond, Tangipahoa, Louisiana.
iv. Jasper Sargent Brock Jr. was born in 1910 in Washington Parish, Louisiana. He died on 16 Jul 1935 at the age of 25 in New Orleans, Orleans, Louisiana.
v. Margaret Brock, born 4 Apr 1912; married Alton P. George, New Orleans, LA; died 15 Dec 1997.
Beulah Baylis Brock died 8 Jul 1935. Jasper Sargent Brock remarried to a lady by the name of Ardys Nettles. Jasper Sargent Brock died 30 October 1958. Ardys Nettles Brock is named in his obituary as his widow which appeared in the “Enterprise-Journal, McComb, Mississippi, 31 Oct 1958, Fri., Page 12, column 5.
J. S. Dies Brock at 77; Rites Saturday
Funeral services will be held for Jasper S. Brock, 77, state banking commissioner of Louisiana for 31 years and brother to Dr. L. W. Brock of McComb, at 3 p. m. Saturday from Rabenhorst Funeral Home in Baton Rouge. Mr. Brock, a native of Mount Hermon, died at his Baton Rouge home at 5:30 p. m. Thursday after a lengthy illness... [Enterprise-Journal, McComb, Mississippi, 31 Oct 1958, Fri., Page 12, column 5.]
Also named within the obituary are 3 daughters and a step-mother, Fannie Brock, 2nd wife of Dr. James Monroe Brock. The two sons above are not named validating why I haven’t found any information on James “Jimmie” M . Brock after 1920.
Jasper S. Brock is my 4th Cousin twice removed.
