Terry's sister Elizabeth Brock married William Fuller (16 Jun 1808, Barren Co, KY). They followed Perry Green Brock to Pettis Co, MO. William died in 1819 and Elizabeth remarried Solomon Reed, Sr. Elizabeth's daughter with William was Salinda Fuller. She married Samuel Ramsey in 1835 in Pettis County and in 1845 they migrated to what became Dallas County, Texas, is a small town in the SW corner of the county. Their daughter Mary Elizabeth married Francis Marion Hamilton, parents of my grandmother. Perry gave Elizabeth's children his property in Pettis County.

I wish you well in your family searches.

Notes:

1.Several names in these related Brock families occur more than once, often difficult to differentiate. The relationships shown are drawn from many sources and several years of record sleuthing... But they may not be perfect and are subject to correction. Any comparison of particular names must be done very carefully or the result may be total confusion.

2. Following is an extract from notes for which I failed to retain the source: "...By 1816 (tax records) James Sr., Perry Green and Elizabeth and husband had moved to Howard Co, MO. (brother James remained in Hopkins Co, KY.) On that same tax list was John McDowell. The next year, 1817, Blassingame Brock married John McDowell's daughter. We have yet to find when and where in MO, but Terry Wayne Brock later married another of McDowell's daughters. The Brock boys moved with the McDowell in-laws to McMinn Co, TN by 1830.

Perry Green moved westward and became an original settler of what is now Jackson Co, MO. By 1824 his brother James Jr, had come from KY and obtained the adjoining land. James and Perry Green went to what is now Platte Co. in 1833 to avoid the Mormon War which had broken out around them. In 1844 they left Platte Co., Perry Green moving to near some of his children in Cass Co, MO, while James Jr. and family were moving to new Jasper Co, MO with his son-in-law who had obtained a land patent. There James Jr. soon died. James Jr.'s sons included James, Perry Green and Terry Wayne (Brock).

"James Jr's son James W. , became a physician in Jasper Co, MO. According to an old White Co., TN , newspaper interview with grandchildren of Blassingame Brock, their brother James went to Jasper Co. to study medicine with cousin James W. Brock, and stated James W.'s father James and their grandfather were brothers."

"Meanwhile my Perry Green's daughter Susan Brock had married Solomon Reed and moved to Vernon Co, MO. One of their daughters was Margaret Ann. (She) married Blassingame "B.G." Brock, son of Terry Wayne, and moved with him back to McMinn Co, TN...."
