Of course, censuses prior to 1850 listed only head of household; so, at this point, I have no father's name to track back further. I'm really stuck!!! As for the KY connection, John and another brother of his (Andrew "Taylor") were the two that moved from Jellico to Harlan for working in the coal mines. Taylor was shot in Harlan, KY in December 1925. I have a photo of Taylor's wife (Elsie) with a "Roland" Brock. He looks like my grandpa like crazy ... there is a Roland Brock with a family in KY. But I haven't really had time to do much research on that line. I've moved my office and rearranged my files so many times that I'm not even sure where my notes are on this. If I can find that, I'll certainly let you know. Maybe we can put our heads together and find the connection!
