Ohio Families

Narrative

I have concluded, at least until there is other evidence, that Martha's maiden name was Brock for the following reason:
the McDonald Family Tree at rootsweb, at http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:761934&id=I632, provided some information about this family. All that I could check was accurate. The tree said that Martha's name was Brock and also that she was "related to General Iasaac Brock of the British Army. There is a memorial to General Brock near Niagara Falls.She was 5 years old when her father died."
I haven't verified this relationship to the General yet.

-------------
Martha's 1850 Census said she was born in Canada East. This would be Quebec. Her 1881 Census and her death record said she was born in Ontario.
