HENRY BROCKMAN
Henry Brockman was born about 1647. It is not known
where he was born or who his parents were. He was
transported from "The Barbadoes" in 1667. It is thought that he
had been sent to "The Barbadoes" as an indentured servant and then
arrived in Maryland on the ship Samuell and Mary. He
appeared in court in Maryland on October 4, 1667, to prove that
his age was 20 years not "at least 20". Orange County (Va.)
Families and Their Marriages. Service in 1674 is recorded in
Liber 18, folio 13. it may be in Maryland Archives.
It is noted in Early Settlers of Maryland by Gust Skordas.
There is a letter in the Brockman file in the St. Mary's
Historical Society that states Henry Brockman sold
his right of 50 acres to Thomas Salmon on April 27,
1674. both parties were of St. Mary's County.
There had been a Brockman website with an extensive article about
this Henry Brockman and the American family. It
demonstrates that this family cannot be connected to the Brockman
family of Kent County England. However, I can not longer
find the website, but will honor the history given there.
Henry Brockman married maybe Rebecca
Samuell in Maryland probably around 1675 and
had one son, Samuel Brockman. It is
believed that she was the daughter of Sir Richard Thomas
Samuell owner of the ship Henry arrived in America on. OR it
might have been Rebecca Salmon daughter of Thomas
Salmon.
I cannot get clarity on her at all.
It is suggested in Orange County Families that Henry Brockman died while Samuel was still a boy. Rebecca then married Mr. Pettie and they moved to Orange County Virginia..
We assume that Henry Brockman is buried in St. Mary's County Maryland.
