Brock Membook Volume 2

Emil T. Miller(son of Emil Fernoy and Mary Montez (Miller) Brock), devoted 2 years of his life in searching out and writing of the definitive history and genealogies of his wing of the wider Brock Family, who in sum number in the tens of thousands both North and South, some of both which fought in the so-called "Civil" War.  This Brock wing which settled in West Georgia, in the time of the writer, were a close-nit, protective, loving bunch of Brocks, and their progeny who read these pages can be intensely proud of their lineage and ancestry.  It is a true-blue patriotic, proud ancestry, and a Son of Reubin Brock the 1st fought in the American Revolutionary War for our Independence from England.  Our direct ancestor here, James Daniel Brock, fought for the same things, our Southron independence for same reason:  Taxation without Representation - i.e., States Rights, and after the invasion of the South they went to arms and fought for their freedom, for their families and farms, and for the right of self determination.  They were neither defeted or beaten.  They were overwhelmed by the far greater population (numbers of troops), manufacturing capabilities, a standing army and navy at the outset, and a far outnumbered fleet of merchant ships.  I have so far found more than 25 of our blood relatives who fought in this useless war.  Refer online to http://www.books-n-sundries.com/32-The%20'Civil'%20War.htm

By the time of our present generations since the late 1930's when I was born, we had largely forgotten about this sad chapter in our history and were going about our lives as best we could.
