HELEN SAWKING
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 exactly. The other four are not connected to our line
Helen Sawking was born about 1565 probably in Kent England. Her father was Nicolas Sawking. Her mother is unknown.
Helen married Henry Brockman by 1595. He was a man of property. We can assume she came from a leading family within her community. They probably lived on his estate at Newington in Kent.
The only son known to this given to this couple was William Brockman. He was born in 1595.
Henry died on March 27, 1630. He has a tablet at Newington Church. Helen Sawking Brockman died in 1642.
