James & Ann, I am working on these famiies in a round about way. Although I am not directly descended, I am related to them through the g'daughter of John Thomas BOLTON, Sr. s/o Thomas BOLTON & Jemima HAMMOCK and Elizabeth Jane HAMMOCK d/o John HAMMOCK & Nancy MAPLES. This g'daughter Elizabeth BOLTON b 1 May 1834 m James ROOKARD 9 Aug 1852 Campbell Co, TN. My interest is his father William Franklin ROOKARD's marriage to, (and the identity of), Nancy BROCK/BROCKUS also p/o Lewis ROOKARD b 16 Jun 1835 GCT m Eliza Jane BRANHAM 31 Jul 1859. These are my ggg g'parents. I see on Anne's website that William HAMMOCK, Sr m Sarah Brock 10 Aug 1801 GCT, William being the s/o Joh HAMMOCK & Nancy MAPLES. Should anyone be able to follow that concentric circle I just wove, or have a BROCK connection to these clans, I would gratefully welcome any help. Debra I hear their whispers; etherial, soft, and still. Daughter, if you do not remember us, who will? James, I have some data on the Hammack/Hammocks and some on Beelers if you'd like to look at my website. I am not directly related to them, but there might be something that would help you. Everything I have is on the web site. Look under "Buehler/Beehler" as well as "Beeler" in the index. I have them on both of my parents' sides and they did not all spell it the same way.
