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.

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.

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
