  1. S1381900 U.S. Federal Census — the Solomon Alfred Brock household, Justice Precinct No. 5, Callahan County, Texas. Ancestry collection 7602, record 70304882, image 4112117_00044. Supervisor's District 4, Enumeration District 16, sheet 2 B, stamped page 6248, dwelling and family 29, enumerated 6 June 1900. Read from the image at full resolution — 3822 × 3736 px, 21 September 2026; read-only, nothing accepted, attached or edited. Lines 58–62: S. A. Brock, head, April 1838, age 62, Farmer, renting, married 35 years; M. P., wife, Jan 1847, age 53, 10 children born, 7 living; John B., son, Dec 1874, Preacher; M. L., daughter, Jan 1883; Ada M., daughter, Feb 1885. What it settles and what it cannot. Matilda's birth month is confirmed January; the year stays open — the sheet reads Jan 1847 against the tree's 9 January 1848, and the 1900 schedule carries month and year but no day column, so no census can close it. The same wall stands on Solomon's April 1838 against the tree's 8 April 1837 — the next source must carry a day: a Texas death certificate or a gravestone. The surname is written plainly Brock; Ancestry's alternate index reading "S A Breck" is a transcription artefact, not a name variant. Migration window: both parents and all four grandparents are Kentucky, all three resident children are Arkansas, the eldest born December 1874 — which with Iona Belle Brock's December 1865 Kentucky birth brackets the move to between December 1865 and December 1874. ⚠ This is a fact about Solomon's household; it reaches Earl's line only through Iona Belle's Probable FindAGrave parentage [S23].

Compiled for the Proeger family

Living adults appear by name and relationship, with the year only: no full date of birth and no home town on any page that search engines index, and a living person’s own page is kept out of search engines. Minors appear by name only — no date of birth, no birth year, no age, no school, no place, no address, no other identifying detail. A minor may be named and may appear in a family photograph; nothing further about them is published. Where it is not established whether someone is an adult or a minor, the minor rule applies.
