James A. Brock (1829-1899)

James Albert Brock was born on 6 Dec 1829 in Chesterfield, Chesterfield, South Carolina.[1][2] James Albert Brock and his family moved from Chesterfield, SC to Florida between 1857 and 1860. He appears in the 1860, 1870 and 1880 Censuses in Florida.[3][5][6] He served in the Civil War enlisting on 20 Dec 1861 in Bronson, Florida.[4] He died on 30 Mar 1899 at the age of 69 in Alachua Co., Florida.[7] James was buried in Midway Church of Christ Cemetery on 31 Mar 1899, Bell, Gilchrist Co., Florida.[8][9]
