Looks like the undertaker may have been in Berea, the only one I know there was Williams. I think Fanny was a Brockman, see if this is she, child number seven. Ellis R. Brockman <[email protected]> William Brockman was a son of Samuel Brockman, Sr. and a grandson of Henry Brockman, the immigrant ancestor. ID: I2047 Name: Thomas Francis Brockman Given Name: Thomas Francis Surname: Brockman Sex: M Birth: 1759 in ,Orange,VA Death: 1838 in ,Montgomery,IL Burial: Brown Cemetery,nr Litchfield,Montgomery,IL Note: 1. He served in the Revolutionary War as a soldier in the 14th Virginia Infantry Regiment of the Continental Line; this regiment was later made the 10th Virginia Regiment. During the winter of 1777-1778 he was at Valley Forge. In 1779 he was released from duty and returned to Albemarle county, VA where he married Frances Shelton, his neighbor. They moved to Kentucky about 1783/84. 2. In Kentucky he was a lieutenant, then captain in the KY militia in the mid-1790's. Statement made by Paul R. Brockman on 21 Dec 1998:"Information on Thomas (1759 to 1839) appears in the following books by William Everett Brockman: Virginia Wills and Abstracts, p. 24; Early American History - Brockman, pages 36, 37; Orange County VA Families, Vol. I, Pages 60, 168 and 169; Orange County VA Families, Vol. IV, pages 83 and 86; Brockman Scrapbook, pages 11, 143, 144, 164, 181-183, 294, 295, 297, 298, 300, 309, 310. He is listed in Revolutionary soldiers buried in Illinois (name misspelled as Breckman in the early versions of this work). The DAR credits his Revolutionary Service, and his relevant information is in their register. Virginia denied him a pension, but they denied most people who no longer lived in Virginia. His commissions as an officer of the Kentucky Militia are in the Journals of governor Garrard, which have been published in the last 30 or 40 years." 3. In KY he lived in Adair and Green counties and, after the death of his wife, he moved to IL to live with his son, Samuel. 4. In Kentucky he obtained land that had been granted to his father in Madison county for supplying provisions to the Army during the Revolution. 5. His body was supposedly moved from IL to MO; place unknown. 6. Copied from page 293 of the Brockman Scrapbook: "Thomas Brockman born in Albemarle Co., Va. entered service early in 1776, under Capt. John Marks, Col. Charles Lewis Regiment in General Nathaniel Green's Division of the army, serving for three years; also served under Capt. Archibald Moon, was in the battles of Brandywine, Germantown, Stony Point, and other small engagements. Came to Illinois, now a pasture owned by Joseph Spinner. He died about 1838.
