• Tenth child of (G18 002) William Brock, he was born in 1740.
• Henry lived at Belmont, Guernsey.
• In 176?, he married Susannah de Saumarez, daughter. of Matthew de Saumarez (b. 1718; d. 1778) and Susan Dumaresq. (Another source states that Suzanne was the daughter. of Matthew's first wife, Anne Durell). Suzanne was a half sister of Admiral Sir James Saumarez Lord de Saumarez,
• Together, they had 13 children.
• Henry died in 1818.

=======================================================================================

Mr. William Brock, who died in 1776, had three sons and one daughter,

viz. William, married to Judith De Beauvoir ;

John, married to Elizabeth De Lisle, daughter of the then lieutenant-bailiff;

Henry, married to Susan Saumarez, sister of the late Admiral Lord De Saumarez ;

and Mary, wife of John Le Marchant, Esq.

The said John Brock and Elizabeth De Lisle had a family of ten sons and four daughters ; and Isaac, the eighth son, was born in Guernsey, October 6, 1769.

He entered the army, by purchase, in the 8th regiment, in 1785 ; and although he was an ensign five years, he became lieutenant-colonel, commanding the 49th regiment, in 1797, having purchased the intermediate steps with great rapidity.

During the campaign in Holland, in 1799, he distinguished himself at the head of his regiment, which, in the battle of Berghen, on the 2d of October, had two officers killed and five wounded.

It was a very cold day, and Colonel Brock's life was in all probability preserved by his wearing over his stock a handkerchief, which was perforated by a bullet, but which prevented its entering his neck.

PARAGRAPH from the book...

The history of Guernsey and its bailiwick By Ferdinand Brock Tupper

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Frequently said to be Isaac’s brother or nephew, James was actually a first cousin.

Isaac’s father John and James’s father Henry were brothers. James was born

at St. Peter Port, Guernsey, on April 3 1773, to Henry Brock and Suzanne de

Sausmarez, both members of prominent families. He was raised in comfortable

circumstances in “Belmont,” a large house with extensive grounds, and likely

began his education in one of the local clergy-run schools where he was taught in

French, the working language on the island until the late 19th century. At about

age ten he may have left Guernsey to go to school in England. If his father hoped

James would follow him into commerce, he was disappointed; by the time the lad

was eighteen he had decided to enter the army.
