Chesterfield County SC Estates~Estate Folder #460~The Case of Franklin T. Brock

Each week, on Sunday, I will select an Estate Folder from the Estate files of Chesterfield County and discuss its contents. No known estates exist for the period before the Civil War. They were destroyed by the burning of the Courthouse. There are a few “Equity Records” in the State Archives. Do not overlook this valuable resource if you are looking for ancestors in Chesterfield County, South Carolina.

Today we will be looking at the following Estate folder: 

Franklin T. Brock ¹
Probate Folder #460
Images 1560 to 1568

When Stephen Brock and his wife Nancy Smith Brock passed away they left among their heirs a young son named, Franklin T. Brock,  who was unable to care for himself.

Stephen had passed away on 11 Sept 1867 and young Franklin who was  born on May 20, 1860 was left in the care of his mother, Nancy Smith Brock.

Then on 12 January 1878 Nancy passed away leaving 18 year old Franklin unable to care for himself and without a guardian. Franklin had three (3) living brothers; so he wasn't left alone.  

On July 17 1879, Franklin brother Irvin Samuel Brock petitioned the courts stating that ”The petitioner (Irvin Samuel) had boarded, clothed and cared for the said [Franklin] for nearly fifteen months without any pay or compensation. And submit herewith his account Marked Exhibit “A” for his reasonable charges and expenses…”  [Images 1563 and 1564]



H. D. Malloy and T. F. Malloy on their oath states that the Petition is true to the best of their knowledge and the charges and expenses are reasonable.  Dated 29 July 1879

On 29 July 1870 The Courts allowed for the payments, charges and expenses along with the Court and attorney cost to be paid out of any funds in possession of the Courts belonging to Franklin T. Brock.  [Images 1568]
Dated 29 July 1879                                                   W. J. Hanna

Amanuensis Monday~Another Mary Kizzie Brock Deed

Amanuensis Monday is a genealogy blogging theme. It was started by John Newmark who writes the TransylvanianDutch blog.

His definition of Amanuensis is:
Amanuensis: A person employed to write what another dictates or to copy what has been written by another.

Today’s subject is a Chesterfield County, SC Deed~A. G. Bright as Trustee   To   Kizzie M. Bullard. <sup>1

Mary Kizzie Brock or Kizzie Mary Brock is an enigma. Mary first shows up in the 1880 Census as the 3 year old niece of Charles A. and Sarah J. Brock. She is listed as M. K. Brock.

Quite some time passed by before I found her name again and that document turned out to be a Chesterfield County Land Deed (DB 5, pages 782-785). I wrote about this land deed here:</sup>
https://carolinafamilyroots.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-cestui-que-trust.html

In that Land Deed it states that Mary Kizzie Brock is a child of Irvin Samuel Brock.

So up to this point we know that Mary Kizzie Brock is a niece of Charles A. Brock and daughter of Irvin Samuel Brock. No other record of Mary  Kizzie Brock has been found until this week. (Thank you Chesterfield County and South Carolina for putting all Land Deeds on-line).

This week I found a new Land Deed (DB 17, pages 533-536) -
A. G. Bright as Trustee   To Kizzie M. Bullard.

From this Deed I learned who Kizzie married and was able to find additional information about her though I’m not sure what her husband middle initial/name really is but I think it "T" based on further research. .

On October 12, 1897, Irvin Samuel Brock, a widower, died unexpectedly leaving 4 small children ranging in age from 7 to 19.  This probate for Guardianship of these children was a result of his death.

It’s Family Time~Irvin Samuel Brock, b. 1855

Irvin Samuel Brock, born about 1855, was the son of Stephen Brock and Nancy Smith. He was a farmer.
In 1877, Irvin Samuel Brock married Mary A. Stubbs, daughter of John Wellington Stubbs and Mary A. McQuage. Mary was born about 1853. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

Irvin Samuel and Mary A. Brock had five children; three daughters and two sons. One son died at age five. Their children were:    

Minnie M. Brock-(1878-1949)
Lillian Mae Brock-(1880-1963)
Alliene W. Brock-(1884-1974)
Harold I. Brock-(1887-1892)
Leon Coit Brock-(1890-1971)

Irvin Samuel Brock died unexpectedly on 12 October 1897 at the age of 42 leaving a considerable estate. A document signed by his brother, Peter Haley Brock states “that I. S. BROCK died intestate on 12 October 1897, leaving a considerable personal Estate, left no Widow and his children who are of age are ALL GIRLS and the petitioner is BROTHER of the deceased. Dated 16 October 1897. [Image 1259] ⁶

 
Death of I. S. Brock
Special to The State.
Cheraw, Oct. 13 -- Mr. J. S. Brock, one of Cheraw's most prominent business men, died at his home yesterday. He was buried this afternoon at 3 o'clock with Masonic honors. He was also a Knight of Pythias. His two daughters, who are students at Winthrop, reached home in time to be with their father during his last hours. ^7 8

All of the children of age were girls; but Irvin and Mary also had a 7 year old son. No death date had been found for Mary A. Stubbs Brock. We do know that she and Irvin Samuel had a son, Leon Coit, born 17 February 1890. This birth most likely led to her death. Leon Coit Brock lived to be 81 year old and died on 12 December 1971 in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Sisters, School Teachers and Orphans

While researching the family of Irvin Samuel Brock and Mary A. Stubbs I found some interesting information concerning their daughters – Lillian Mae and Alliene W. Brock.  Lillian and Alliene are the 2nd and 3rd Children of Irvin & Mary with Lillian being the oldest; 4 year older than her younger sister.

Lillian Mae  married James Lawrence MacDonald and her sister Alliene  W. married George Franklin Rogers. Lillian Mae and another older sister Minnie attended college and graduated; both Lillian and Minnie became school teachers.

Unfortunately, the parents of these children, Irvin and Mary, both died in 1897 resulting in loss opportunity for the remaining two children, Alliene and her brother Leon Coit, to attend college. Minnie & Lillian were away at college when their Dad got sick. His obituary states: “His two daughters, who are students at Winthrop, reach home in time to be with their father during his last hours.”[1]

Documents within Estate Folder #717, Estate of I. S. BROCK, Film #E914, Frame 1345, contain a request by Peter H. BROCK stating that I. S. BROCK died intestate on 12 October 1897, leaving a considerable personal Estate, left no Widow and his children who are of age are ALL GIRLS and the petitioner is BROTHER of the deceased. Dated 16 October 1897. [2]

In 1920, Lillian is living with her sister Minnie and her husband Charles Conglon in Georgetown South Carolina.

In 1930, Lillian was in the State of Maryland working as  an employee (Director) in the  Springfield State Hospital.[3] By 1945, she had moved to Florida to be with her sister Alliene Rogers.

.The 1945 State Census for Florida show Lillian MacDonald (School Teacher) enumerated with Mrs. George F. Rogers and in Dade County Florida.[4] 



Enlarged view:
[5]

I still have a big gap in the lives of these three sisters and will continue to research their life after marriage and leaving home.

Alliene W. Brock Rogers, b. 11 Apr 1884; did 23 Mar 1974 and her husband are buried in the Oak Lawn Cemetery, Lake City, Columbia County, Florida. [6]

Her older sister Lillian Mae Brock MacDonald. born 21 July 1880, died  9 March 1963 is buried at Old St. David Episcopal Church cemetery with her parents in Cheraw, South Carolina. [7]

Minnie Brock Conglon born 26 May 1878; died 23 March 1949 is buried in Prince George Winyah Cemetery, Georgetown, South Carolina.[8]
