THE STORY AS I KNOW IT

 With the Brockman family we are reaching as far back as the 14th century. William Everett Brockman has written A Genealogical chart of the Brockmans. The story needs confirmation. An English book Kent Parish Records, Newington Marriages lists at least four Brockmans from a period of 1566 to 1623. They are in the place and at the time William E. Brockman asserts. One of the four matches the genealogical data exact the others are other sons not connected to our line.

Henry Brockman was born about 1510 in Kent England. His parents were William Brockman and Margaret Chapman. William was buried at Newington so that may be the town in which henry was born.

Henry married the "heiress" of Thomas Chillon whose name is unknown. She may have been his widow but possible his daughter. We know Henry and his wife had at least one child, John Brockman born about 1545.

However, another source states that the English BROCKMAN line was documented by D.H.Drake-Brockman in a book "Record of the Brockman and Drake-Brockman Family" published in 1933. This is supported by the entry in "Burkes Knightage and Landed Gentry" 104th edition. This lists the children of Henry and Rebecca Chillon to be:

1. WILLIAM⁶ BROCKMAN, b. 1531, Beachborough, Newington, Kent, England; d. 16 April 1605, Newington, Kent, England.

2. JOHN BROCKMAN, b. Abt. 1533, Newiington, Kent, England; d. Bef. 1638.

3. ANNE BROCKMAN, b. Abt. 1535, Newiington, Kent, England.

4. JULYAN BROCKMAN, b. Abt. 1537, Newiington, Kent, England; m. THOMAS BRODNAX; d. 1602, Godmersham.

Henry died in 1573 and is also buried in Newington. Both sources agree on that date.
