FB: A 21-page typed copy of an account of the descendants of William Brocket of Netherfauld House, written by a descendant, Franklin L Brockett of Alexandria, Virginia, who lived 1822-91. It was kindly sent to the Broket Archive in 1999 by Esther Galbraith of Glasgow. It provided no sources for its information, so should not be taken as evidence without other verification. A website called the Brockett Family Heritage site online at www.brockettfamily.com from about 2004 to 2007 reproduced the main elements of FB up to p 11, plus additional details and sources. In 2004 it was reproduced on www.brockettfamily.com, but in 2007 this site was no more, so relevant parts have been reproduced in this Archive on the page for Robert Brocket of Alexandria VA d 1829. Some times it has been accessible from the Internet Archive Wayback Machine at goo.gl/BFV1mR (accessed 27 May 2017).
