  1. Colleen,
    Sammuel Ruffus Brock is a descendant of my Brocks of Chesterfield County, SC. His 1st great grandparents are James L. Brock & Elizabeth Purvis. They migrated from SC about 1818 to Clarke County, AL and then onto the Rankin county area of Mississippi. Can you clarify that your spelling of his name is correct. Love you blog and read it daily.

    1. Charlie, Thanks for the information. I cannot access my genealogy because my laptop is in for repairs. When it is out of emergency care I will follow up on this.
