EnglandOf all the Anglo-Saxon names to come from Britain, Brockshom is one of the most ancient. The name is a result of the original family having lived in the village and civil parish of Broxholm, near Lincoln in the county of Lincolnshire. This parish was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as lands held by Robert de Tosny. Today Broxholme is still located in the West Lindsey district, but has grown little since early times as according to the 2001 census it had a population of 58.
The surname Brockshom was first found in Lincolnshire, at Broxholme, a parish, in the wapentake of Lawress. [1]

Thousands of English families in this era began to emigrate the New World in search of land and freedom from religious and political persecution. Although the passage was expensive and the ships were dark, crowded, and unsafe, those who made the voyage safely were rewarded with opportunities unavailable to them in their homeland. Research into passenger and immigration lists has revealed some of the very first Brockshoms to arrive in North America: a number of settlers who arrived by the 19th century.
