I don't know whether this may be helpful, but I can tell you where to find the Brock Cemetery (referencing your subject line). My great great great uncle, his wife, and their two sons are buried there. There are a number of Brocks and at least one Kornegy grave in the small, chain link-fenced cemetery out beyond a small grove of pecan trees The Brock Cemetery is located near the Bear Marsh Baptist Church in Beautancus. In fact, the cemetery is located adjacent to the original site of the church, across and up the road from its present location. As I recall, the small cemetery is located approximately 300 meters behind the Sollis-Brock House on Beautancus Road. According to a locally prepared "History of the Calypso Community" (by Thomas Mitchell Byrd, published in October 2000 by the Calypso Historical Community), page 22, the house, believed to be the oldest house in the Beautancus community, was built by my great x3 uncle, Bryant Sollis, in the mid-19th Century; it was later owned by the Frank Brock family. The property, a small white house (I believe it has a red tin roof) with a large red "D" on the chimney, is now owned by Elbert and Christine Davis. Mrs. Davis is the granddaughter of Susan and Frank Brock, who acquired the house in the 1890's. The Davis' son, Jimmy, was kind enough to allow me and my wife to examine the cemetery. He told us that he and his mother had been born in the Sollis-Brock House (although he didn't allude to it by that name). I believe he owns the horse farm adjacent to his parents' home. When we asked, he said he was not familiar with the name of reference, Brock Cemetery--adding, "come to think of it, though, there are a bunch of Brocks buried back there; so, I guess that must be what you're looking for." I hope this helps you.
