These are a bunch of obituaries for the Brock family, mostly of central Virginia, namely Hanover, Henrico and the city of Richmond. They were part of a research project I did several years ago so I might as well post them here. They are in no particular order. There may also be some associated notes for different people. If you are interested in anyone here, let me know as I probably have a lot on them.

Religious Herald, July 6, 1843:
"DIED, on the 24th instant, at his late residence, 'Aspin Grove,' Henrico county, HENRY BROCK, in the 52d year of his age, after an illness of twelve weeks of liver affection. The deceased was for many years a deacon of the Baptist Church at Deep Run; and it may be truly said he was a man of sound and unshaken faith, and of most stern and unwavering integrity, rendering him thereby uniform in his course of life. He was a kind and affectionate husband, a devoted father, a good neighbor, and most humane master, all of which characteristics, when combined in any human being, make a good citizen. But, he had more - he, it may be truly said, was a Christian, a lover of Jesus Christ, and had an unwavering confidence in God, of which, in his walk and conduct through life, he gave testimony; and in his attachment to his Saviour, who is a safe retreat to all prepared spirits. He has left a wife and seven children, and numerous relations and friends to mourn his loss - but not as those without hope, for their loss is his inestimable gain. 'Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord, for they shall have a right to the Tree of Life, and shall enter through the gate into the city.'"
