Profile of another Nock from New England. Is there a family connection between them and the Nocks of Accomack, Virginia? We are just not sure about this, yet? We still subscribe to the theory that William Nock of Accomack was the first Nock in America. It also seems true that most Nocks in America trace their families back to Accomack County, Virginia. However, we do have records of Nocks in New England who were here early in the 17th century as well. A couple of them have been profiled on this page. Sooner or later my friends, we will figure this out 🙂
This school honors the academic legacy of Rupert Nock.
