52 Cousins~Sarah Brock

Sarah Brock is a daughter of Valentine Brock and Elizabeth Lundy. She was born 26 January 1812, in Chesterfield County, South Carolina. She had two brothers and two sisters; she was the middle child.   

Her parents, Valentine and Elizabeth Brock moved from Chesterfield County, South Carolina to Henry County, Georgia sometime between 1820 and 1830. Based on the birth of children the most logical date for their move to Georgia was between Jan 1812 and Nov 1813. 

The 1830 & 1831 Tax List for Henry County GA, shows that Elizabeth's Husband died sometime before 1830. The exact date is currently unknown. 

On 13 December 1836, at age 24, Sarah Brock married Tillman Taylor, age 22, in Troup County, Georgia

Tillman was a farmer and Sarah was a stay-at-home Mom. They raised a large family of eight children: 3 sons and 5 daughters. Tillman managed a good size farm containing 248 acres of land.

The Asahel Six - Sarah Brock Family

On November 22, 1838, Sarah Brock and Asahel SIX were married in Hinds Co., Mississippi. ¹

Sarah Brock was the daughter of William Brock and granddaughter of Johan Valentine Brock. She was born about 1820 in Mississippi based on her report age of 30 in the 1850 Hinds County Census.

The 1850 and 1860 census shows that Asahel Six and Sarah Brock had the following children: ^{2 3}

i. Margaret Six was born about 1840^{. 4}
ii. Phillip Six, born abt 1843; married Sue S.; died 1890 or after.
iii. James Six was born about 1846 in Hinds County, Mississippi, United States.^{5 6}
iv. Mary Six was born about 1848 in Hinds County, Mississippi, United States^{. 7 8}
v. Hyram Six was born about 1851 in Hinds County, Mississippi, United States. ⁹
vi. Ophelia Six, born Mar 1856, Hinds County, Mississippi, United States; married John DeLoss King,; died 11 Sep 1911, Grant, AR.

Both Asahel and Sarah died between 1860 and 1870. No record of their death dates or burial has been found though there are dates recorded in on-line trees. Asahel parents, Phillip and Charlotte are buried in the Cayuga Cemetery, Cayuga, Hinds County, Mississippi.The last time I searched, these two tombstone are the only two tombstones for the SIX surname recorded in the state of Mississippi on the FindAGrave website.

There are several inter-marriages between the Brock and Six families in Mississippi. 

I spent one day at the Mississippi Archive in Jackson in February 2012. Further research will be continued during a visit to Salt Lake City later this year.  

If you are related to Sarah Brock or Asahel Six, I would love to hear from you.
