Biography

Philippa (Jeffery) Brock was born in Devon, England.

Philippa was probably born about 1660 in Monkokehampton, Devon, England.

She married Richard Brock in the same village on 28 February 1682^[1] and they had at least four children together, two of whom died young.

She died in 1738 and was buried on 9 September in Monkokehampton^[2].

Research Notes

• Philippa's baptismal record has proved elusive but the Monkokehampton records of the period are in a very poor state. She may be the daughter of Thomas Jeffery who had several children in Monkokehampton around this time. He (or possibly an older relative) signed the 1642 protestation return for the village.
