Due to claims about James Brock being son of a documented Native American (who had no documented children), WikiTree's Native Americans project is tracking this profile.

Disputed Origins

A previous version of this profile claimed, without source, that he was son of Redbird and that Redbird was the same as someone named Aaron Brock [Sr]. There are no documented wife or children of Redbird. There is no record that associates him as the same man as Aaron Brock. He has been detached as father of this profile. Please use g2g to discuss evidence for his origins. Thank you.

A previous version of this profile also included a Cherokee nick name of Unalasgiunula for which there is no evidence.

There is also no reliable evidence that James BROCK was the son of Aaron Brock and Susannah Davis;^[1] they have been detached as his parents.
