P.106 - "A number of Delewareans in exile lived in New Brunswick
after the war. In addition to Jacob Smith, they included Jacob
Derrickson, Captain Isaac Atwood of the King's American Regiment,
Ensign Thomas Gill, Captain Simon Kollock of the Loyal American
Regiment with his two sons, Charles Goff (pilot), John Greenwood,
a cooper who had been named on the excepted list of 1778, and
James and William Springer (blacksmith). All of them owned land.
"The property of Simon Kollock sold for £111 in Delaware.
With him in exile were his two sons, Jacob and Joseph, who had
both served as volunteers in the Loyal American Regiment. All
three owned land in Miramichi, Northumberland County, New Brunswick."

P.6 - Shepard KOLLOCK believed to be descendant of French Huguenots.
"Following the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, in 1685,
the 'Colloque' family fled from France to Holland, and in 1686
or 1687, relocated in Baltimore, Maryland."
Shepard was b. in Lewes, DE, in Sep 1750, son of Shepard KOLLOCK
and Mary GODDARD. He apprenticed for the printing business in
the Philadelphia shop of his uncle, William Goddard.
P.7 - "While serving in command of a detachment near Elizabethtown [during the Revolutionary War], Lieutenant Kollock nearly did come face-to-face with his brother, the British Captain Simon Kollock...Simon's troops had left the scene just prior to Shepard's arrival. A Presbyterian minister's house had been put to the torch, but the British captain ordered his men to put out the fire, even joining in the effort himself. The officer told the minister's wife, 'I am Simon Kollock. My brother is somewhere in the neighborhood, but I do not want to meet him. If you see him tell him I would not have allowed this to have been done if I were here.'

Received the following information from Valerie Bartlett, Petawawa,

"The KOLLOCK name first came up in my reseach when my great
aunt told me that the land they grew up on was given to the Powers
by a Kollock. The land was eventually expropriated by the New
Brunswick government in the early 1970s to make way for establishment
of Kouchibouguac National Park in Kent County, New Brunswick.
"While looking for Joseph POWER in the 1861 Carleton Parish census, I noticed a similarity in the names of Joseph Power's children and Joseph [actually James?] Kollock's. This made me suspect a connection through the female line. Since then, I found a record of marriage between John POWER and Ann Catherine KOLLOCK July 1821.

Fredericton, New Brunswick: Provincial Archives. 7p. typewrittenp.
A summary of information on the Loyalist Jacob Kollock, prepared
by Dr. David R. Facey-Crowther, and deposited in the Provincial
Archives, Fredericton, N.B.
The KOLLOCK family had been resident in Delaware since at least
the 1650s. Simon KOLLOCK "was a prosperous cooper, a maker
of barrels and tubs, and a man of property." As the Revolutionary
War drew near, Simon declared for the King, against some of his
family. He enlisted nearly 100 men in early 1777 to join Colonel
Beverley Robinson, a wealthy citizen of Duchess Co., NY, then
in the process of forming the Loyal American Regiment. The LAR
was with General William Howe in the 1777 expedition against Philadelphia,
and fought at Brandywine and Fort Montgomery. It was involved
in raids on CT in late 1780, and at least some of the LAR (not
sure about Kollock) fought with Cornwallis in his southern campaign
and with Major Patrick Ferguson at King's Mountain.
Kollock was commissioned a Captain in Apr 1777, and commanded
a company throughout the war. He served for some time as an intelligence
officer relaying information to Benedict Arnold on the movements
of Washington's army. Two of Simon's sons, Jacob and Joseph, were
also in the LAR, although both were too young to be "legal"
(Jacob was only 13 when he enlisted as a volunteer in March 1782,
and Joseph was even younger; the official minimum age for serving
was 16). Joseph spent most of his short enlistment in New York
City, about the safest place in the war for Loyalists. The war
in America was pretty well over by 1781, and the LAR was mustered
out May 1782 [elsewhere he says last muster 22 Aug 1783]. When
the Loyalists were moved from New York to Canada, Simon and his
sons had to go, because he had been declared "unpardonable"
by Congressional act in June 1778 and all his lands were confiscated.
The LAR was given land grants in the St. John River valley near
Fredericton, but most moved into Fredericton itself (then called
St. Ann's). Simon had two lots in Fredericton, but never lived
there. Instead, the Kollocks and ten other families petitioned
for land in the Mirimichi River area. At various times, the Kollocks
had land at Bay du Vin, Richibucto, and Kouchibouguac. They were
one of the first English families in an area mostly populated
by Acadiennes.
Simon was appointed to the grand jury in 1793, and served as magistrate/justice
of the peace for Northumberland Co. beginning in 1800. JOPs at
that time appointed parish officers, heard complaints, performed
marriages, petitioned the Governor for new laws, etc. He served
as JOP until 1814, and held a number of other local offices. Simon's
widow, Ann Catherine Kollock moved to Saint John to live with
her dau. after Simon's death, and she died there 1845, age 97.
Jacob KOLLOCK was b. 1769 in Sussex Co., DE - probably at Lewes.
He apparently lived with his parents until 1789 when he acquired
a land grant of his own. On 20 Feb 1790 he m. Miriam NORTON, dau.
of one of the county magistrates. That year he was appointed surveyor
of roads for the parish, and later commissioner of roads and surveyor
of roads for the Bay du Vin district, a position he held on and
off until 1799 when he moved to Kouchibouguac. There he was Overseer
of the Poor, and dispensed county funds for the upkeep of the
needy. He was commissioner of roads and held other offices in
the Richibucto-Kouchibouguac district until 1814. He was appointed
in Oct 1809 as first commanding officer of the Second Northumberland
militia, a post he held intil Oct 1828. At that time, Kent Co.
was split from Northumberland Co., and Jacob (then 60 yrs old)
used the occasion to retire. In later life, he lived with his
son Joseph, and died sometime after 1861. By 1871 Joseph Kollock
(then 70 yrs old) and a widowed dau. were the only Kollocks left
in the area.
Jacob and Miriam had several children, but the record isn't clear
about who belongs to who. [Facey-Crowther does not discuss Joseph
KOLLOCK, Jacob's brother, or any other of Simon's children.].
For sure, he had Joseph KOLLOCK b. 1791 who Jacob lived with in
old age. He also had George KOLLOCK who m. Christine McINNIS before
1816. They had three children:
-Elizabeth Anne KOLLOCK b. 22 Mar 1816
-Simon KOLLOCK b. 1 Oct 1819
-John KOLLOCK b. 13 Jan 1830
Jacob may have been the father of Shepherd F. KOLLOCK who m. Mary

32. E. McCully and G. McCully. 1990. McCully Family (Descendants
of William C. McCully). Sussex, New Brunswick: Manuscript.
This is a listing of the descendants of William and Anne Elizabeth
(KOLLOCK) McCULLY of Richibucto, New Brunswick. This William may
be the brother of John and Samuel McCULLY of Sussex, N. B., but
the connection cannot be positively shown yet.
1. William C. McCULLY (1781-1879) m. Anne Elizabeth KOLLOCK
(1795-1886)19 Mar 1814.
2. Mary McCULLY (1814-1904)
2. Catherine McCULLY (26 Apr 1817-12 Apr 1903); m. Cooley HURD.
2. Anne E. McCULLY (1820-1903)
2. William Shepherd McCULLY (1823-1863)
2. Rebecca McCULLY (1827-1918)
2. Samuel Thomas McCULLY (1833-1916) m. 1862 Julia Isabelle HARRINGTON
(1828-1911).
3. George McCULLY (1863-1911)
3. William Shepherd ("S.K.") McCULLY (1864-1954) m.
1890 Victoria Salina BURGESS (1872-1941).
The descendants of "S.K." and Victoria are given in this paper.
Also included in this paper is a copy of a newspaper article from the "Times-Advertiser" (Trenton, NJ), 8 Oct 1933, which reports an interview with "S. K." McCULLY when he was visiting relatives in New Jersey. It purports to tell a story about "S.K's" grandfather "Kollock McCully" [actually about the KOLLOCK side of the family, not the McCully side].
"His present visit is really a journey back to the home
of his forefathers, who came over before the Revolution and settled
in Philadelphia. They were Quakers and refused to take up arms
on either side. But their sympathies were with the Loyalists and
during the early stages of the war, the rabble that followed the
Continental Army broke into the home of Mr. McCully's great-grandfather
and killed the old man. His son escaped by jumping out of the
window in the dead of winter, clad only in his sleeping clothes.
Making his way to the British lines, he sought protection. He
then took up arms with the British and remained in the British
Army 12 years, coming out a major. Later, in the War of 1812,
when he was an old man, he commanded the Kent County militia of
New Brunswick, Canada, leading his men in a bitter winter to Frederickstown.
"This grandfather, Kollock McCully [actually, Jacob Kollock],
had two sisters who remained in Philadelphia and later went to
Saint John, New Brunswick, to live. By that time their brother
had been given by the British Government a pension and 400 acres
of land on the Richibucto River, in New Brunswick. Another grant
was 400 acres farther north at Bay Devinne, but he lived for 46
years at Richibucto."
33. L. McLean. 1999. [Information on Dickson family]. e-mail
. Apr 1999.
Larry McLean of Georgetown, Ontario, provided the following information
on the DICKSON family. This may be the same Dickson family that
the KOLLOCKs married with in New Brunswick." Maj. Thomas
Dickson was a soldier during the wars with the French and later
was involved in the Eddy rebellion. He is a direct
ancestor of mine. All I know about the line is from a privately
published book on the Knapp genealogy: Major Dickson had a family
of ten children. Robert (died at sea), James (died in Point de
Bute in 1855), Charles (settled near Chengfield, Maine), Dalton(settled
in River Phillips, N.S. ),John (died at sea), Thomas Law (settled
at Amherst Point), Mary (married Mr. Harper), Ann (married Donata
Plenie), Sarah (married Thomas Roache), JAmes (married Susannah
Dickson) and Catherine (married Titus Knapp)."
34. P. K. Middaugh. 1999. [Information on Kollock family].
letter -. 29 April 1999.
Pat (Kollock) Middaugh wrote:
"Somewhere I found that Simon, Jacob, and Joseph [KOLLOCK]
sailed on the ship ANN to St. John River in the summer of 1783."
"Jacob mentions George, William, James as sons in land petitions
(but) who is Daniel? I find him as overseer of highways in 1815-1816
and in 1818 in a land petition. Also found a Daniel Kollock from
Scotland and this may be he."
Possible explanation of Shepherd Franklin Kollock's birthplace:
birth recorded in Bath, N. B. as S. Franklin Kollock; may have
been born there while Jacob Kollock was there on military duty.
"Henry, Nelson Kollock's brother, swore in an abstract in
1906 that Nelson was really Horatio Nelson but seldom used his
full name, only Nelson Kollock. He married Ruth Jane in 1873 and
Ruth died in 1889. I found them in the 1880 census with some of
their children still at home. My grandmother, Ottile Shearier,
became his housekeeper after that and married Nelson in 1898.
He died in 1904 one year after my dad, George, died. George had
Jean, Patricia, and James. Grandma Tillie spelled her name in
various ways, it being an unusual German name. Her father, James
Henry, spelled the last name Shearer until he married Grandma's
mom in 1868 when he or someone added the "i". "

Pp.440-441 - "The Kollocks were French Huguenots (de Colloque),
who after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, fled to Holland
where they settled for a short time, using the protective Dutch
spelling for their name; they emigrated thence to what is now
Sussex Co. in Delaware. The first to appear in the old grants
is Jacob Kollock, styled "Cooper and Merchant of Lewes,"
in Sussex Co., 1689. A cooper was a person of consideration in
those days, who had certain privileges and monopolies which usually
made him a fortune. Jacob married Mary ___, and died in 1720,
leaving seven children (as appears in his will on record in Georgetown).
The eldest son was Simon Kollock, who married a daughter of Hercules
Shepard of Lewes and was sheriff of Sussex Co. from 1730 to 1734.
He died leaving two sons, Simon and Shepard.
"Shepard Kollock married Mary Goddard of Philadelphia April
13, 1736, and died leaving children. Among them was Shepard Kollock
Jr., who received a good education and went to learn the printing
trade from his uncle William Goddard of Philadelphia, editor of
the 'Pennsylvania Chronicle'."

From Kay Somerville: "I am researching the parents of Shepherd
DRAIN [possibly TRAIN] , Sussex Co., DE in War of 1812, b. ca
1780-85 whose first two sons were Shepherd and Stanford. I feel
that his mother was Elizabeth Kollock Drain cited in the will
of Shepherd Kollock (DE Will record) of an age to be the parent
of Shepherd. I have not found what Drain she was married to."
NOTE: This Elizabeth KOLLOCK appears to have been married to Gilbert MARRINER, but possibly a second marriage [or Marriner info incorrect]?

NOTE: This reference, given to me originally by Judy Gluck,
is either incomplete or incorrect, as it has been looked for by
other people. I haven't been able to find the marriage year anywhere
else, but the following court records confirm that they were married
(at least, they thought they were!):
P.783-2-3 June 1691 - Jacob Colloke was the Last Court presented
by the Grand Jury on Suspistion of not being married unt Mary
Lawerson according to the Laws of the Government.
P.793 1-2 Sept 1691- Jacob Colloke was the Last fierst month Court
found presentable by the Grand Jury on Suspistion of not being
Marryed unto Mary Lawerson according to Law.
P.803-2-4 Dec 1691 - Jacob Colloke was the Last fourth month Court
presented by the Grand Jury on Suspistion of not being Marryed
unto Mary Lawerson according to Law.
Apparently, there is no verdict or further information in the Court records on this case.

Elizabeth, New Jersey: New Jersey Historical Society. 280p.
p.154 - "Of inestimable value to post-war Elizabethtown and
to the surrounding country was Sheppard Kollock's decision to
publish a newspaper in the borough. Kollock was a well-known figure
in the state before he moved to Elizabethtown in 1785 to set up
his print shop. During the critical years when people were growing
tire of the War for Independence, he had published a newspaper
in Chatham, New Jersey, which had been a potent force in keeping
the spirit of liberty alive.
Kollock was raised in Maryland where, after studying law, he went
to work at the age of sixteen as a printer for his uncle, William
Goddard, publisher of the "Philadelphia Chronicle".
A few years later he went to St. Croix [Virgin Islands] where
he worked as a journeyman printer for the "Danish American
Gazette". While there, he printed a description of a hurricane
by a bright lad of fourteen, one Alexander Hamilton. When the
news reached the West Indies of the revolt of the American colonies,
Kollock hurried home to become a lieutenant in the Continental
Artillery. At the Battle of Trenton, during which General Knox's
artillery planed an important role in winning the momentous victory,
one of Kollock's fellow officers was Alexander Hamilton...
"After the war, Kollock published a newspaper in New York
as well as New Brunswick [NOTE: this is New Brunswick, NJ, not
Canada] before coming to Elizabethtown to publish a newspaper
under the wartime title, "The New Jersey Journal"....
When Sheppard Kollock moved to Elizabethtown at the age of thirty-five,
he already had a sizeable family. One of his sons, destined to
become a Presbyterian minister, was Henry Knox Kollock, born in
New Providence during the Revolution and named in honor of Henry
Knox, commander of the Continental artillery. Another was named
after Kosciusko, the Polish engineer...
"Most of Kollock's publications were books and tracts of
a religious nature... (he had) a marked dislike for Deistic literature.
When Thomas Paine...published his "Age of Reason" in
1794, Kollock wrote an 'expose' of the book in his newspaper...
"...he helped organize a circulating library...for thirty-five
years was a judge of the Court of Common Pleas for Essex County...(1822)
postmaster of Elizabethtown..."
"Like many another who had fought in the War for Independence,
Kollock was ready to forgive all but the most obnoxious Loyalists.
America, he felt, could ill-afford to lose many gifted citizens.
Hundreds had paid a high price for their loyalism by the loss
of properties confiscated by the state. Now that the war was over
and they had paid for their mistakes, Kollock asked that they
be allowed to return and begin over again."
p.183 - "Some before this [the 1840s], the aged Sheppard
Kollock, it is said, taught there [in the one-room North End school
in Elizabethtown] before moving to Philadelphia to live with his
son-in-law, the Reverend John McDowell."

Melissa Zweil-Sanchez shared the following:
"I have a letter that my GGG Grandfather Shepard Kollock
(b. 1813) wrote just prior to his death in 1908:
'I have been told that the brother of Grandfather [Shepard b.1750]
Kollock who joined the British Army in New York had gone to St.
Johns, at the close of the war in 1783, and been appointed a Judge
of the court and that he married a British officers daughter and
that after his death, his wife and daughters opened a select school
for ladies in St. John's and were well patronized. As my wife
was the daughter of one of the British Loyalists who went with
many more to St. Johns, I was informed by her cousins, the Misses
Tiltons, Carmen and some others of the family that they had been
scholars in Miss Kollock's school. My wife's people were living
in Mushquash, a village a few miles from the city...My wife's
Grandfather was Clayton Tilton of Shrewsbury, NJ. He held a Captain's
commission from the British authorities during the war and was
settled into New Brunswick in 1783."
