"Samuel Rock in 1767 was a bucklemaker of 41 with two sons, four daughters and three apprentices. We know from his memorial in the church of St Mary on the Mount in Walsall that he was a convert and that his wife came from a Catholic family, the Thornhills who appear in the directories of Walsall but not in the presentments. His eldest son, Samuel, born and baptised in March 1762, went to Sedgley Park School in 1769 and thence to the English Colleges of Lisbon, Portugal and Douai, near Lille in France. He returned to be priest-in-charge at Kidlington in rural Oxfordshire for fifty years from 1788 but kept in touch with his brother, Joseph, who put up the memorial to their father"Email from Anne Walker to Graham George HAwker dated 19 August 2007:
Samuel Rock Information1. Gravestone at St Mary’s on the Mount, Walsall
(Transcribed by John Duffy)Pray for the soul of SAMUEL ROCK
who died 4th September 1788 aged 66 years
In the fortieth year of his age he became from conviction and the force of argument a convert to the Catholic Church and continued a faithful member until his death.
From sincere love of his countrymen and a desire to lead them to the same blessing he while in perfect health under his last will and testament did order this declaration to be inscribed by his son the Reverend Samuel Rock. A Roman Catholic Priest.
May he rest in peace.
