    "His name was Brocke, not Brooke, I can't change transcription errors. It doesn't matter anyway, they can call him what they want, still the same awe."

    "Hulon Brocke was from the Amite City,LA-Amite County, Miss. clan of the Whittingtons, close cousins of the NC/SC Whittingtons. Welsh clans that migrated south from Talbot County MD in the mid 1600's. Quakers mostly, they tended to marry German Lutherans for some reason. A long line of blue blooded Welsh fighters that descended from the likes of Sir Rhys ap Thomas, the Welsh knight that delivered the death blow to King Richard III at Bosworth in 1485. We probably lost some of the blue blood along the way, but apparently not the fight."
