IN THE WM. E. BROCKMAN BOOKS SAMUEL BROCKMAN JR WAS
REFERRED TO AS SAMUEL (II).
1. Samuel II inherited land in Albemarle county, VA that was left to him by
his father, Samuel I. This land was in the NW part of Albemarle. He
later transferred part of this land in 1769 (350 acres) to his brother,
William (p. 9, Scrapbook).
1a. The will of Samuel Lindsay Brockman (Brockman Scrapbook, pages
146-147) proves that Samuel II Brockman's house in Orange county, VA
was "The White House." This property was so identified as early as
1734 and later (1838) it became known as "Greenway."
2. A question exists about Samuel II's marriages; It is strongly suspected
that his first wife was Mary Woolfolk a daughter of Richard Woolfolk
(OCVF II:124). Mary supposedly died after the birth of her first
daughter, Mary. His second wife was probably Rebecca Graves, a daughter
of John and Susanna (Dicken) Graves. See pages 133-134 and 154-156 in
the Brockman Scrapbook for more information about this family. An
excellent review of the wife of Samuel Brockman, Jr. was written by Paul
Brockman on 14 May 2001 and posted on the Brockman Family Genealogy
Forum at GenForum.
2a. The will of Samuel Lindsay Brockman (Brockman Scrapbook, pages 146-
147) "supports the contention" that Samuel II Brockman's wife was a
Graves.
3. Samuel II was described as having been a cooper by trade.
4. His home in Orange county, VA has been described as being near Monrovia
in St. Thomas parish. This location was on 300 acres of land which his
father had obtained in 1732 from John Henderson (Scrapbook, p. 150).
5. The KY Gazette 11(618), 25 Jul 1798....A list of lands in Washington
county to be sold to satisfy back taxes due: Samuel Brockman's
administrators, Samuel Brockman, Jr.
---Samuel II's Kentucky land was sold 12 May 1796--land on Licking Creek.
This land was acquired by a Treasury Warrant 3309 and was 500 acres,
originally described as being in Fayette county, later as Mason
county. This Kentucky land was adjacent to Samuel I's Kentucky land
of 1,000 acres. (Scrapbook, p. 190).
---Description of the land....Surveyed August 27, 1785, for Samuel
Brockman, Junior, 500 acres of land by virtue of one Treasury Warrant,
No. 3309, entered July 3, 1780, in the County of Fayette on main Licking
Creek joining Samuel Brockman Senior. Entry of 1000 acres, being part of
an entry of 1500 acres.

6. I do not know if this is for Samuel II, but there is mention of a Samuel
Brookman of Orange county, VA who was appointed Lieutenant in the VA
Militia in the Rev. War. On page 151, Brockman Scrapbook, we find:
"Samuel II was too old for active service in the Revolutionary War. He
rendered civil service. He may have held [a] commision in the militia
guarding Brook's Bridge. He and nephew Joseph signd the Orange County
Petitions, Oct. 20, 1779. Being a large producer he sold supplies but
also rendered voluntary service and had at least one horse impressed for
military use. The Minute Book, Page 77, Feb. 27, 1776, shows Samuel
serving on the jury and Page 61 has [a] recommendation for appointment
of a Samuel as Lieutenant of Militia. There are records of both Samuel,
Sr. and Samuel furnishing supplies. Rebecca, wife of Samuel died in
Orange."
7. Samuel (II) died intestate. He may have left a will but it was never
entered into probate. (OCVF II: 92)
