Author: Brant & Fuller (1893)
   F. P. BROCK, merchant of La Fayette, Ala., is a son of J. T. and Sarah
(Baugh) Brock, the former of whom was born in South Carolina in 1820. When he
was a child his mother died, and he was taken by an aunt, named Mary Crayton,
and reared by her. She at the time lived at Greenville, and shortly afterward
moved to Augusta, Ga. When he was twelve years old she removed to McDonough,
Ga., and about this time he began attending the university of Georgia at Athens,
where he was educated. When about eighteen or twenty years of age his aunt moved
to La Fayette, and here he studied law in the office of Robert Baugh. He was
admitted to the bar and began the practice of his profession at that place. He
was married in 1843 at the age of twenty-three, in La Fayette, to Sarah Baugh,
of an excellent family which was among the early settlers in this region. Mr.
and Mrs. Brock had a family of eight children, viz.: Mary, now Mrs. Meador of
Atlanta, Ga.; Annie deceased wife of W. H. Pope, of Macon, Ga.; J. T., cotton
broker of San Antonio, Texas; W. L., merchant of Montgomery, Ala.; Sallie, wife
of W. L. Jeter, Atlanta, Ga., and Lucia, wife of W. C. Rawson, of Atlanta, Ga.
The father of these children died in 1864, but the mother still lives in La
Fayette. F. P. Brock was born November 15, 1853, in La Fayette, Ala., and
received an academic education. He began business for himself, in 1881, as a
partner of Dr. F. A. Trammel, the firm name being Trammel, Brock & Co., which
kept a general store. That firm continued two years, and in 1883 Mr. Brock
withdrew from it and formed a partnership with J. M. Tucker and William
Ratchford, under the firm name of Tucker, Brock & Co. This firm also ran a
general store. In 1892 Mr. Brock sold his interest in this business, and he is
not now engaged in any business. He was married April 18, 1888, in La Fayette,
Ala., to Sallie Frederick, daughter of Dr. A. H. R. Frederick. To this marriage
two children have been born, viz.: Lillian, and an infant, deceased. Mr. Brock
and his family are among the best people in the county.
