He was born June 20, 1884, in McMinn County, Tennessee to Francis Marion Brock, aka Frank Brock, and Irene Matilda Raborn. He was the second of 13 children born to them.
In the 1900 Census, in McMinn County, Tennessee, lists the family as:
Brock, Frank M, Matilda, Patrick, Sarah J., Walter, John J., Ernest, Emma and George D. Patrick is 14 and his father is a Farm hand.
On February 5, 1906, he married Adeline Jessie Morgan, aka. Addie, in Monroe County Tennessee.
They had 9 children: George Washington, Rufus Marvin (my grandfather), Otto Franklin, Jewell, Irene Matilda, Leonard McWhorter, Paul Henry, Warner Hardin, and Calvin Lee Brock.
I have been unable, so far, to find them in the 1910 Census. I will continue to look.
The 1920 Census in DeKalb County, Alabama, lists the family as: Brock, H. Patrick, Addie, George W., Rufus M., Otto F., Irene, Leonard H. Patrick is 35 and a farmer.
Again I cannot find them in a census. This time they are not listed in the 1930 census. As always, I will continue to look.
In the 1940 Census they are listed. In DeKalb County, Alabama.
The family is: Brock, P.H., Jocie, Lonard, Paul, Warner, Calovin, and S.R. Morgan. Jocie is Jessie Aleline and Calvolin is Calvin. S.R. Morgan is Father-in-law. Patrick is 45 and a farmer.
Addie died on the 23rd of January, 1966 in Boaz, Alabama. She had battled breast cancer.
Pat died on February 24, 1972, in the Boaz Nursing Home in Boaz, Alabama. His immediate cause of death was Bronchopneumonia. He was 87 years old. He was buried in Copeland's Bridge Cemetery, Etowah County, Alabama.
