Marriage 2: 24 Dec 1863 _______________, Muncie, Delaware Co., IN;
Jacob Brock to Nancy H. Williams on 24 December 1863, marriage performed by William McCormick, MG.
 
NOTE: As Polly is shown in the 1860 census, this marriage record narrows the date span for her death to between June 1860 and December 1863. With normal mourning and courtship time spans, she probably died prior to January 1863. The original record for this marriage is on page 309 of the Delaware Co records ( Marriage Records of Delaware, part 1, pg 26.)

(Delaware Co., IN -: Book H-1; p.80) (Delaware Co., IN -: Certified copy of Death Record #023454; 27 Nov. 1990; possession of M. Palmer.)
 
Children: 
It is apparent that Jacob Brock had 3 wives and children by at least 2 of them. It appears that all of the children under age 17 are Nancy's and Jacob's. It is impossible to tell at this time whether any of the children were Letia's by a previous marriage. **map**.
 
Comments:
Jacob may be a brother of Jackson Brock, son of Sherod and Mary Brock, b. 5 Mar 1828 in Delaware County, IN. At this time (Jan. 2009) I have no proof of this. 8/93 - 1830 Census, Delaware County, Indiana: Sherod Brock has 1 boy under 5, 1 boy 5-10, 1 boy 10-15, 1 girl 0-5, 2 girls 10-25. He is 40-50 and his wife is 40-50. 1840 census, Delaware County, Indiana: Sherod Brock has 2 boys 10-15, 1 boy 15-20, 1 girl 10-15 and 1 girl 15-20. He is 40-50 and his wife is 30-40 (National Archives, 1830 Census of the United States of America (National Archives: National Archives, 1830), Delaware co, IN; p. 281. ) (National Archives, 1840 Federal Census (National Archives: National Archives, 1840), Delaware Co., IN; p. 509.

1st marriage:
 
Spouse: Polly SMITH
Birth: __ ___ 1824 _______________, _______________, _______________, OH.
Name-Marr: BROCK
Note:
COMMENT: In the 1860 census, Center township, Delaware County, Indiana, a Soloman Smith, age 26, born Ohio, is living with Polly and her husband Jacob Brock. Delaware county Death records, book K, p.22 show that Solomon R. Smith, age 71, of Union township, Delaware County IN, died 30 April 1903 by hanging himself. His father is listed as .... Smith, b. PA, and his mother is .... Kants/Knuts/Kunts, b. PA. He is buried in Union Cemetery, Delaware Co., IN. This could be the same Solomon Smith, even though the age is off by 2 years. I feel that this very possibly is Polly's brother, which gives me a research clue in Pennsylvania. **map**.
