This gentleman is the son of William and Harriet Brockman, and was born
at Greensburg, Indiana, May 8th, 1833. His parents took him to Kentucky
when he was but a year old, and located in Lafayette County, where 
Isaac grew to manhood.  He came to Missouri in 1854, and stopped at
Weston, in Platte county, where he lived thirteen years.  He was marr-
ied April 5, 1855, to Miss Rachel K. Fry, of Platte county, a native of
Kentucky.  This union was blessed with seven children, one of whom is
dead. His oldest daughter, Eliza A., married A. E. Mack, of this county
but died December 12, 1882.  Before the war Mr. Brockman was a slave 
owner, and carried on extensive farming operations in Platte county.
When the war came on, he entered the Enrolled Missouri Militia in 1862,
and served four years.  In 1867, he sold out in Platte and came to 
Greene county, purchsing the old Dick Steele place southwest of Spring-
field, and again engaged in farming and stock raising.  He was elected
justice of the peace for this county in 1870, on the Democratic ticket,
serving eight years.  In 1882 he was again elected to the same office.
Mr. Brockman owns 280 acres of land in Greene and Christian counties.
