JACOB MOCK - A DESCENDANT OF ALEXANDER MACK By Eugene Mock

• In the Fall 1994 issue of the MPH, p. 44, I wrote that

in searching for my Mocks in Elkhark Co. IN, I ran across a land record For a Jacob Mock. At the time I thought this Jacob could possibly be a brother to my Michael, b. York Co. PA 1772. (Jacob and Michael, sons of George (Soldier George) and Eve Mock of York and Bedford Co_, PA. Now on further research I have figured out who this Jacob Mock is_

first ordered a film (from FHC) My Kinkle-Mack/Mock Ancestry by Manley W. Mallet, pub.1981. Then with some working charts that Steve Lapp had posted on the Alexander Mock family, I was able to see this Jacob Mack/ Mock was a son of Alexander Mock of Bedford Co., PA, Will dated 8 Nov 1811. Alexander being the son of John Mack and Margarette Sneider. John being the son of Alexander Mack "The Dunker"

This Jacob Mock has not previously been well documented. Only 2 of his children had been known. I have put together the following on this family:

Jacob Mock was born ca1770's in Washington Twp., Franklin Co., PA. He died Oct 1847 in Elkhart Co., IN. His wife was Margarethe Jacob.

Jacob moved with his parents to Woodbury Twp., Bedford Co.,PA caiSO4. He is mentioned in his father's will probated 2 Dec 1811. In 1821 - Jacob moved to Knox Co., OH.

11 Mar 1845 he purchased 80 acres of land in Elkhart Co., IN.

On 18 Oct 1847 in Elkhart Probate Court in the matter of Estate of Jacob Mock, David Zook, A.C. Manning and Horatio Pierson file an application for letter of administration of estate. On 10 Apr 1848, John Mock, Alexander Mock, Elizabeth Wineland, Margaret Long and Susanna Kunkle all of Knox Co., OH appoint David Zook of Elkhart Co., IN to be their administrator in the matter of Estate of Jacob Mock.

Final distribution of surplus to heirs occured in Nov 1853 Court Term in Elkhart Co, Heirs listed: John Mock, Alexander Mock, Elizabeth Wineland, David Long in right of his wife, Amos Fike in right of his wife, Martin Kunkle in right of his wife, Adam Hissong in right of his wife, Henry Hetrick in right of his wife.

From the Pictorial and Biographical Memoirs of Elkhart and St. Joseph Counties Indiana , pub. 1893, I found the following biographical sketch on Daniel Zook.

"Mr. Zook was born in Elkhart Co.,IN 22 Jan 1851, the youngest son of John and Rebecca (Shellenberger) Zook. John was born in Huntington Co., PA 4 Mar 1818, a son of David and Mary (Mack) Zook, David being a native of Germany and his wife a daughter of Alexander Mack, who helped to found the German Baptist Church in this country. ...David Zook and family made their home in Pennsylvania until 1840, then came as far west as Richland Co., OH, and there, for a few years, followed the life of a pioneer tiller of the soil. Elkhart Co.,IN became their home in 1842 and here they resided on a woodland farm until the discover of gold in California in 1849. when he made the overland trip to the gold fields, where he remained until his death, two years later.

That John was a son of David and Mary Mack Zook (dau. of Alexander) is an obvious error - to my knowledge Alexander Mack did not have a daughter, Mary. Nancy Mack, dau. of William and Agnes (Lantz) Mack, married David Zook 13 Apr 1817. They are the probable parents of John Zook, b. 4 Mar 1818.

JACOB MOCK OF NORTHAMPTON CO"

PA Submitted by Helene Younger Hawkins

P.O. Box 221086, Newhall, CA 91322 Northamption Co.,PA was formed from Bucks Crawford,114 m. 25 Feb 1836 Fairfield Co.

Co.,PA in 1752. The earliest known Mack in the area is OH John McCrillis John Mack who is shown in 1728 on a petition in 13.2.6- Daniel Mock b. 1820 PA; m. 18 Jan 1844 Goshenhoppoen, (See MFH Vol. II, No. 1). In 1749 there Fairfield Co.,OH Frances Shoemaker is a deed for George Mack, unfortunately it is totally 1.3.3- Andrew Mack illegible and 1 have not been able to tie him in to the 1.3.4 - Henry Mack other Mack's in the area. 1.3.5 - Joseph Mack

In land records dated 1773, Jacob Mack purchased land in Richland Twp. and sold it in 1777 and 1763. In 1812 this Jacob Mack has a will filed in Hanover Twp., Northampton Co, PA. In this will he lists his wife Catharina and all of his children. The executor for his will is his son George. (My 4 g grandfather). The land that•acob owned in Northampton Co., Pa was bordered by the Hartzel and Brooder families. Both of these families married into the Mack family.

In this same time period there is a William Mack that is listed as having land in Northampton Co., PA. I feel that there is a connection between these two Mack families as the Hartzells and Broeders are listed in various documents with both Mack families.

According to records in Bucks Co., PA, it would seem that Jacob is the son of Wilhelm (William) Mack and his 2nd wife Maria Lisa.

Following is the pedigree chart for this family. I - Wilhelm "William Mack of Rockhill twp.,Bucks Co.,PA m. (1st) -

1.8 - Mabath Mack m. Crose 1.9 - Margaret Mack George Mack, b. 1778 PA, married Elizabeth (Coon?)

and had a family of 6 known children. 4 of these children have baptismal records in the Christ Reformed Lutheran Church in Schoenersville, LeHigh, PA. It is shortly after the death of Jacob that George and his family sell land in Northampton Co., PA and start their way to Fairfield Co., OH. According to census records, the youngest 2 children are listed as being born in PA, but no record has been found of either of their births. George and his family appear on the 1830 census of Fairfield Co., OH. The first land transactions that I have found for him in 011 are in 1848 in Ross Co. OH In land grant!, where he purchased and sold land to and from his son, Daniel. George and his wife, Elizabeth are both buried in the Stukey Cemetery in Berne, Fairfield Co.

LETTERS TO Dear Barbara, Just received the latest MFH. The depth of the articles by James P. [MockJ, Ron [Moore] and Steve [Lapp] continues to absolutely astound me. I don't know how they can find time to do a tenth of what they manage to do. ...I've been working "on the road" again splitting my time between NJ, CA (L.A.) and home since last November. That really does crimp any hopes I had for getting back into the family research business. I'm not giving up though, so don't count me out for coming up with something of interest one of these days.

In the meantime, thanks to all of you for you dedication and commitment to making the MFH a truly professional journal. Best regards, • Daniel G. Mock - Fort Wayne, IN

My apologies for having to be reminded that my dues are over due. I can't think of a better $10 that I spend during the year or anything I enjoy or look forward to more than the "Mock Family Historian". Thanks for all the hard work of those of youwho make this publication possible. • Peggy Tesh Winston-Salem, NC

Once again I was trying to cut down on the memberships which come due at the beginning of the year and YOU screwed it up. (or at least the ancestors did]) I got the MFH this week and was certainly surprised about the Mock of Harrison Co., IN. I have recently been to Corydon which is the Co. Seat of Harrison Co. I am the genealogist in the Bartholomew Co. Clerk's office. Indiana's Co. Clerks hold the marriage licences, wills, probate records, civil records & other assorted records. One of the huge surprises that came about in recent years was the fact that the local road which I had always called "Mocksberry" Road is in fact Mauxferry Road. This is supposed to be the oldest road in Bartholomew Co. The road starts at Maucksport on the Ohio River and that is where the Mock's Ferry was and hence the name of the road and town. If anyone is interested in doing research the John Hay Museum in Salem is full of things about the area & the Public Library and the courthouse in Corydon have lots of info on Mock's as I kept stumbling across them when doing research on my Davis & Willson families.

The second part of this letter is about my Mauch's. I am enclosing a family tree of my Mauchs who I have recently traced back to Germany. (Du nningen, Wurtenberg, Germany). This info comes from the LDS libraRy of Catholic records of this town - written in Latin! Imagine my surprise when I found mention of the death of a sister of my g. grandmother's in Danville, IL. This family of Mauchs settled in Lafayette/ Tippacanoe Co., IN in the 1860's. They were members of the German Catholic Church, St. Boniface, and are buried in St. Joseph's Old Catholic Cemetery. There was a huge

THE EDITOR group of German Catholics who settled there in the 1850-60 era. My Grandfather married the daughter of a family who came over in the 1840's & settled in S.E. Indiana. Early Ancestor chart is as follows: I - Christian Mauch m. 6 Aug 1760 Dunningen, Wuertenberg, Germany Catherine Benzen

Dear Barbara, I guess I'll try one more year. Enclosed please find my check for $10 to cover my dues for the year 1995.

I do have one suggestion. Whydon't you print a list of all members? Their names & addresses and the names they are researching. This way we would have access to meeting other allied families and correspoinding with them personally. even pay for the list of names & addresses and names they are working on that you have. I correspond with a Shipbaugh/Hollidayi Allbright whose grandmother's was Mary Jane Mauk b. OH and was related to my Clara Josephine "Josie" Mauk b. OH, died IN, so I know there are people out there. Is your membership that limited?

I have sent you information but I have not received anything from you. Do you only correspond thru the newsletter? Have you ever published your direct ancestor chart and familygroup sheets for all to see how far you have gone back on your line? I haven't been put in touch with an allied family member but I am sure that there are other people out there working on other name's besides MOCK that have Mauk/ Mauck/ Mawk/Mack in their family line.

I felt when you took over that it would be a different format, but from what 1 read each month it is the same. I don't mean to be critical but I haven't received one piece of information since I start subscribing to YOUR clearing house newsletter and feel like I am wasting my money.

probably others who just haven't bothered to do so. I am very much aware of your Jacob Mauk and his wife, Annie Rhodes and have checked my files and charts to see where they could possibly fit in. l have not written to you because [ have nothing positive to report. I am more than happy to share all of the research material that I have on the many Mock, Malik /etc. families. In charting the immigrant ancestors and their families, I have listed all members doing research on that particular family with their address and direct line to the immigrant. Queries and articles written by members also have their name and address. Regarding your comments on the format - I have been editor of the MFH since the beginning. The only changes in the NL are due to a slight improvement in my computer skills. I would be interested in hearing any suggestions for changes.

No, I have not published my direct Mock lines in the MFH. (I have Mocks on both sides of my family - not related) but have included queries. My Mauk/ Mocks on my father's side is Rudolph Mauk of VA. On my mother's side is George Mack/ Mock of Fairfield Co., OH. Since I don't have much time for personal research, I was delighted when Helene Hawkins came up with a great find - Jacob the father of our George. (See Helene's article on page 13).

Pat, I will be more than happy to share with you any research material that I have and I'm sure that others will do the same. The following chart is your Jacob Sr Annie. • Barbara Di tt g, editor 1.

Another Jacob Mock! From New Member, William L. Stormer 1110 Waynewood Blvd.Alexandria, VA 22308

1 recently made an inquiry on Prodigy's Genealogy Bulletin Board and was referred to you. My maternal ancestors: Jacob Mock b. cal 797/ 99; d. 28 Mar 1872; m. ca 1827 Juliann b. ca1810. They lived in Armstrong Co., PA. 1 know there are numerous Mocks of German and English decent. ...Interested in Mocks of Venango, Clarion, Armstron and Bedford Counties in PA., whom I believe were German.

A recent "find" in the Bedford Co. Archives, Vol. VI, suggests in a 1858 - Notice of inquisition that Solomon Harcleroad, late of Colerain Twp., had a sister, Juliana married to a Jacob Mock. Of course the missing link is: where did the couple live at that particular time.

Found Theobald & Phillip Mack

Sons of John Mack of Berks Co.,PA Steve Lapp

While filing away loose notes and copies (I should Finish by 2000!), and rereading the "M" section from the 1 994 book Pennsylvania Births - Philadelphia County, , by I lumphrey, I discovered the Following entries from "Records of St. Michael's Lutheran Church in Germantown'':

1. Mack Theobald b. 30 Oct 1749 to parents, Johannes and Maria Agnes.

2. Mak, Joh. Philipp b. 14 Jan 1753 to parents, Johans and Maria Agnesa. In the MFH Vol. 1, #5,pg 44-45, an article and

Family Chart for Philip Mack states Philip's birth as 27 Oct 1752, PA (?).

It would appear that the first wife of John Mack (he died in Reading, Berks Co.,PA) is this Maria Agnes, mother of Theobald/Devalt and Phillip Mack/Mock . This still does not explain the older Devalt Mock in the North Carolina records, but it does further identify the

children in John Mack's Reading PA will. I'm quite pleased with this find and want to get a complete copy of the St. Michael's Lutheran Church at Germantown records (not to be confused with the same name church in Philadelphia) which begin in 1741.

IF the above John Mack is indeed the same as the John Mack who died 14 Sep 1784, Berks Co., PA, then he cannot be the John Mack listed as an immigrant on the ship St. Andrew , qualifying in Philadelphia on 23 Sep 1752, as so many researchers have claimed. *Steve Lapp - 98 Whitney St., San Francisco, CA 94131 - 415-826-8166

Ed. Note: This should be of great interest to those researching the John Mack line.

Query found in Pennsylvania Mennonite Heritage Jan. 1985: Daniel Shaffer, born in PA in 1813, married Matilda Mock in 1841 and moved to Washington Twp., Van Buren Co., 10 about 1851 via Croten, IL, where theystayed a few years. They were of the Dunkard religion. If anyone has information on this family, I would appreciate hearing from you. B. Dittig, Editor

"A Slice of History" - A bit of History - so well tucked in my Mock family archives - All about a Mock, so very famous, i thought it should be shared somehow. So across the miles to your clearing house it comes with hope this "Golden Eagle" may taxi to a stop on the runway of a proper family group. From Ohio's Golden Eagle„ "Jerrie Mock, Newark, OH, Husband, Russell Mock. Quarter century after becoming first woman to fly solo around the world, Newark's Jerrie Mock quietly nests in Michigan."

From the Almanac, Today's highlight in history... On April 17, 1964, Jerrie Mock of Columbus, OH became the first woman to complete a solo airplane flight around the world. • Vern ❑. Wright, Punta Gorda, FL

New Member - Jax Zumwalt of the "Zumwalt Family Association" Dear Barbara, Enclosed please find check for $10 to cover a years subscription to your Mauk Family N/L....

am interested in the John Mauck of Frederick Co.,VA who married abt. 1760 to Anna Ottilia ZumWald, youngest dau. of Johann Wilhelm "Andreas" ZumWald and Anna Catharina -Margaretha" Jacobs. Ottilia was b. 29 Jan 1736 at Niederauerbach (Zweibrucken) Germany and seems to have died about 1801 in Shenandoah Co.,VA. Widower, John Mauck seems to have remarried in 1806 and later went to Indiana where he founded the Mau kport ferry service.

am currently assembling a plat map of the 1750's & 60's showing the Frederick Co.,VA land owned by the Zumwalt's and Mauck's. It is very slow as 1 have to wait approx. two mo. for each plat and then try to identify its

position with each neighbor_ I have a number of questions concerning the lineage of John Mauck and his siblings. I also find it necessary to research the allied families of Pitman, Keller, Crabill, Hottel, Black (Swartz), Yeager (Hunter), Ridenhour, Denton and Weaver. Anyone of your subscribers who would care to exchange on this problem would be appreciated. I also need a family group sheet on John Mauck's parents.

tried to purchase the book on the Mauck family about 12 or 15 years ago but received no reply from my letter. Since I have started this in-depth search for Zumwalt/ Mauck in Frederick Co. I have discovered a number of allied families that I was not aware of.

3/2 - I have traced my line back to Balthazar Macke cal640, mainly at Braunton, North Devon, U.K. The surname appears to have been very numerous in Devon and I have quite a large number of references to other Mock's in Devon and elsewhere inEngland before that date, but I have been unable to link in with my tine. I have made an extensive search for the elusive Balthazar, unfortunately I have not been able to find his birth/baptism, marriage or death date. At the same time I have collected many hundred of Mock references and have helped many people with their Mock lines. I have quite an extensive database on the surname which is growing rapidly. _4/4/95 1 am amazed and extremely pleased to see and hear of the MFH and the dedicated group of researchers. l would very much like to join your association...1 have found that several members of my line have emigrated to New Zealand, Australia and Canada, but so far none to the U.S.A. I have many "missing" dates of death etc. , so it would not surprise me in the least to find that some had come to your country_ Do you have any immigration lists of Mock's coming to the U.S. from the U.K.?

A few years ago I heard from Rudi (Rudolf) Mock who lives in Cornwall here in England. He told me that he came to this country in WWII as a prisoner of war. He stayed after the war and married an English lass. He later set up in business in Cornwall. His home is Northern Bavaria, a small village called Oberstrue, near Mellrichstadt, Mainfranken. He told me the Mock surname is a descriptive name meaning "the plump fat man or the clumsy awkward man" Daphne [my wife] was rather amused at this description. Again, thank you for writing. I am still amazed at the amount of info that your letter has exposed to me. Sincerely, •Jack H. Mock 13 Kingsfield, Bradford-on Avon, Wiltshire, BA15 IAN, U.K.
