I have a copy of "A History of the Townships of Byberry and Moreland" by Martindale. John Brock, a Quaker, is mentioned on page 43 and 45 of this book. along with other distinguished gentlemen such as John Hart, John Rush, Nathaniel Walton, Giles Knight, John Carver, Daniel Walton, Thomas Walton William Walton, Henry English, Thomas Knight, John Gilbert, William Hibbs, Thomas Groome and others. Martindale gives an account of how the above mentioned gentlemen had a disagreement of doctrine, with some breaking off from one Friends Meeting and forming a new Byberry Meeting. John Carver and John Brock were given the job of" admonishing those that profess God's truth and do not walk answerable thereto." I could find no reference to the Brock family in Davis' "History of Bucks Co." I would guess that they lived in Philadelphia Co., perhaps Byberry. Norma Stilwell, Researcher, Bucks List

Thanks very much for the information. In some of my information it was stated that John Brock was Sheriff of Bucks county in the 1700's, I do know their children were born mostly in N.J. just on the other side of the river from Bucks county and at one time were members of the FAlls Monthly Meeting. Thanks again for your work. --------------------------------- Get your email and more, right on the new Yahoo.com
