Notizen zu dieser Person
Note:
The Brockmans, Brockmanns, are of English and German origin. Positive
proof of the family being lineal descendants of John Brockman of Essex,
England, is still lacking. Documentary evidence of the family in America
starts with Henry Brockman of Maryland and Samuel Brockman who lived in
Drysdale Parish, King and Queen County, Virginia, in 1731, and Samuel and
William Brockman, who witnessed the will of Edward Pigg in St. Goorge's
Parish, Spotsylvania, in 1739. A land grant was issued by Governor Gooch,
dated August 5, 1731, for 22 shillings, William Mays acquired from the
Commonwealth a grant for, 500 acres lying in Drysdale Parish, on both
sides of Port Tobago Road. Of this amount, 100 acres was a gift from
Daniel Coleman, 150 acres was acquired from Henry Shackleford, from James
Ambrose, and 250 acres from surplus land of the state. Description shows
that it adjoined Samuel Brockman, Richard Milliner, Craddocks, Rose, Ryan
and Halls. Thomas Madison had 300 acres next to Rev. John Mays, minister,
which may have been acquired by Samuel Brockman, who traded his 300 acres
in King and Queen to John Henderson for 300 acres in Spotsylvania, plus
1,200 pounds of tobacco as a premium. Thomas Salmon of St. Marie's County
patented land in St. George Parish in 1727.
