George was previously attached to William Brock and Mary Polly Brock. There is no documentation to connect this man to those parents so they have been detached.
Biography
George Brock's birthdate is uncertain, but probably about 1680. He first appears in records at the baptism of a son, Jesse in New Kent County, Virginia, in 1703. [1] In 1719 George received land in New Kent. [2] Hanover County was formed from New Kent in 1720, so although George didn't move he now lived in Hanover. By 1733 George begins appearing in records in the adjoining Goochland County. [3] In 1744 Albemarle County was formed from Goochland, so once again George had a different address without actually moving. In November 1749 George deeded his wife Kathryn a life estate in his property:

Remarks: It is not noted that George Brock Senior used a mark to sign, however it is shown that one of the witensses used their mark. George Brock Senior of New Kent Co. VA, later Albemarle, always signed with his mark GB or gB. Although slight, it leaves some speculation as to if this is the George Brock Senior of New Kent & Albemarle County. Of importance however is the witness Patrick Napier. Patrick Napier was a witness to George Brock Senior's Will.
