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 "
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
thatacob 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.

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

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

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.

Moses Mock in. Jane Williams Rowan Co,NC 14 Mar
1818 (marr. bond 08502315). The 1830/40 Davidson Co.
NC Census listing for Moses/ Jane Mock shows possibly
5 or 6 sons and 1 dau. Family info & census extractions
indicate that David W. b. ca1822; Lucinda B. ca1822;
Francis A. b. cal 823; Moses; George b. cal&30; & Isaiah
b. cal 835 were siblings all b. in NC and that Jane Mock
was their mother. Were they children of Moses Mock &

probably died bet. 1835-1840. Jane Williams (1799-??)
was the dau. of Francis Williams and prob. d. in

Theobald & Phillip Mack
Sons of John Mack of Berks Co.,PA

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.

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.

Husband, Russell Mock. Quarter century after
becoming first woman to fly solo around the world,
Newark's Jerrie Mock quietly nests in Michigan."

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,
