ELIZABETH BROCKMAN
THE STORY AS I KNOW IT
Elizabeth Brockman was born about 1710 in Orange County, Virginia. Her parents were Samuel Brockman and Mary Collins. Her grandfather was an early immigrant to America from England, perhaps via Barbados.
Elizabeth married Anthony
Street about 1734. They had at least five
children and one website now off line gave 7:
1. Sarah Street, born about 1736
2. Samuel William Street, born 1737 wed Lurana,
died 1811
3. Thomas Street,
born 1738 wed Lucy
4 . unnamed female born 1741, died 1788
5. Elizabeth Street, born 1743 wed William
Smith Sr. died 1830
6. Caty Street, born 1745 wed Micajah Cox died
1788
7. Frances Philadelphia Street born 1747 married Housand
Harrill died 1835
The birth and death dates given above were from kalman@myweb.net We are trying to get her source documentation. This information suggests a contagious illness took at least three family members in a very short time. The unknown daughter, Caty and Anthony both died in 1788.
Confirmation of this family comes from two sources: Marriages of Some Virginia Residences 1607-1800 state that "Anthony Street wed Elizabeth Brockman, daughter of Samuel B" and the will of Samuel Brockman dated November 1762 and proved in 1766, name "my daughter Elizabeth Street". Finally, Anthony Street was listed to receive a bequest from the estate of Samuel Brockman. It is listed in Pamunkey Neighbors, a history of early Orange County VA.
Anthony Street's will dated 8/29/1788 and
probated in Amherst County Virginia, listed five
children. One daughter, Caty died earlier that same year.
She may not have had any children. Sarah either
died young or was not their child. The children listed in
the will were.:
1. Samuel
2. Thomas
3. A daughter (deceased Mrs.Cox). Her children
Anthony, William, Elizabeth, Franky.
4. Franky
5. Elizabeth
Elizabeth Brockman Street died between 1800 and 1810. She is buried with Anthony Street and the site is currently being restored and preserved.
