And here’s another interesting find from the New Orleans Advocate about another Emancipation Park founder, Richard Brock: an information wanted ad, apparently seeking news about family members.

Information wanted of Henry Brock, Sam Brock, or Thornton Beal: they resided up to the War in or near little Rock, Arkansas. Please address Richard Brock, care of the Rev. Wm. R. Fayle, Houston, Texas.

I haven’t seen Brock connected to Arkansas before.
