[S2867] Wikipedia: Henry Brockman, (Name: Wikipedia;), Henry Brockman (colonist). Henry was Orphaned during the commonwealth period in England and apparently exiled by Cromwell's Roundheads, as a result of his closest relatives activities as royalists. He either fled or was sent to the "Barbadoes", a British possession embracing not only the present island nation of Barbados, but also other possessions now known as Aruba and Surinam among others that were transferred to the Dutch in or about 1667. Henry left the Barbadoes, indenturing himself to Captain John Jourdaine, for transport to Maryland the only colony at that time in which religious freedom was assured. He later married Rebecca Samuell, a daughter or niece of the owners of the "Samuell & Mary" on which Captain Jourdaine had transported Henry to Maryland. Some estimate that Rebecca and Henry today have generated thousands of descendants in the USA and hundreds who still carry the Brockman surname. Henry shows up in court documents in Maryland testifying that his age was 20 years in the spring of 1667. In 1674 he is in court again, to document that he had worked off payment for his passage to Maryland, received title to his headright (property given to colonists), and sold that property. He appears to have moved to Virginia, and to have conceived his son Samuell Brockman shortly thereafter. According to legends preserved in several branches of the family, he died (apparently in a shipwreck or shipbourn accident) while returning to England to claim the inheritance which had been denied him in 1658. His death occurred shortly after 1690. It is perhaps ironic that Henry's grandsons and great-grandsons became patriots in the US revolutionary war, and fought against royalists for a republican cause (see John Brockman Jr.), however, this accurately reflects the experiences of many of the Cavaliers in Virginia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Brockman_(colonist) [S666] History of Brockmans and their Kin, History-BROCKMAN Family. https://www.ancestry.com/interactive/61266/41904_539960-00354?pid=6808&backurl=https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv%3D1%26dbid%3D61266%26h%3D6808%26ssrc%3Dpt%26tid%3D164314845%26pid%3D292185990185%26usePUB%3Dtrue&ssrc=pt&treeid=164314845&personid=292185990185&hintid=&usePUB=true&usePUBJs=true History of Brockmans and their Kin History-BROCKMAN Family [S202] Ancestry.com, England, Select Marriages, 1538–1973, (Name: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc.; Location: Provo, UT, USA; Date: 2014;).
