Silvesta "Vestina" Brock

  General Notes:

The 1870 Federal Census for Kentucky, Josh Bell Co., District 4 records Micager (45-KY) and Sarah (35-KY) Brock with children Benjamin D. (12), Abraham (9), Caster (7), Ballinger (5), and Vestinna (2).

The 1880 Federal Census for Kentucky, Bell Co., Crines Fork, District 7, page 403A (image 2 of 11 at ancestry.com) records Cager (indexed as Cjer) (50-KY/KY/England) and Sarah (40-KY/KY/KY) Brock with children Benjamin (22), Aberham (19), Frank (14), Silvesta (12), and Elen (8).

See general notes on husband Eli Broughton for 1900 census facts ... the birth data of April 1874 is a bit suspect in that Vestina can be found in the 1870 and 1880 census record with an apparent birth data of 1868. The fact that sons Millard, Andrew, and Frank Broughton are living near each other in 1910 without their mother implies that Vestina has passed away.

Silvesta married Eli Henry Broughton, son of John Broughton and Sarah Payne, on 15 Jan 1886 in Bell Co., Kentucky. (Eli Henry Broughton was born on 1 Feb 1837 in Knox Co., Kentucky, died on 8 Oct 1912 in Knox Co., Kentucky and was buried in Friendship Cem., Stinking Creek, Knox Co., Kentucky.)
