James Brockman is mentioned several times in the Proctor's Daybook, in entries that describe his role as overseer. An entry dated February 24, 1823 was for $6.50, for "Labour acct. draft to A. J. Brockenbrough (P43627) for this sum paid to James Brockman for his expenses to Louisa (PL4338) [town in Virginia, for] hiring laborers."
