New Goshenhoppen Macks
Research by Sue Hardy
In the past twelve years, the Mock Family Historian
has issued excellent researchconcerning Geoqge and Esther
Mack and the "Goshenhoppen Macks" of Pennsylvania.
(See MFH VoL Il No.l; VoI. Ill No. 3; VoI V. No.4; Vol. XIV
No. 1). Recently, Ernest W. Mack (DNA Recipient) commissioned me to prove his lineage to the Goshenhoppen
Macks. As a young boy, he hunted and fished on lands
owned by his forefathers where he was told by the New
Goshenhoppen Reformed Church Rev. that he was the 8m
generation of Macks to have lived in the area. Unfortunately, other than this oral hadition" he only possessed
documents to prove three generations of his lineage. Following is the result of my investigation and documentation of his ancesty which proves he is the 7s generation
of Macks to live in New Goshenhoppen. Also induded is
an updated Working Chart of Ernest W. Mack's lineage
that also contains additional information concerning this
early Pennsylvania Mack family that might provide the
basis for further research.
Based on my research, the earliest proven ancestor
of Ernest W. Mack is ]ohannes Mack married to Maria
Margareth Zimmerman, making Ernest the 76 generation
of New Goshenhoppen Macks. An earlier document of
the area finds a 'John Mak " as one of the signers of a1728
petition to Pennsylvania Gov. Gordon for relief from Indian depredations at Goshenhoppen.t This may point to
the next generation of the 8 generation oral tradition.
Howeve4, additional research is required.
JOHN MACK 1 BACKGROLJND
What we do know is Ernesfs ancestoq, John Mack 1
of New Goshenhoppen, owned multiple parcels of land
and mills during his lifetime situated in Upper Hanover
Twp and Douglass TWp, Montgomery PA.2 He resided
and ran a Mill in Upper Hanover. In a recorded indenture
dated 05 Dec1754,Iohn Mack, Mason, and wife Margaret
of Upper Hanover TWp sold 200 acres of their patented
land to
a
Mr. Michael Roeder.3 This deed was not recorded
until 14Aug 1790. Interestingly, this is the only land deed
I have found which included wife Margaret Mack. It is
not yet known when Margaret died.
John Mack 1 of Upper Hanover also owned and
operated a Paper Mill in Douglass TWp which he gave to
his younger son John Mack" jr, 1.84 His eldest son, George
Mack 1.4, ran a GristMill and SawMillinDouglassTwp.s
BeforeJohn Mack L die4 he deeded his Upper Hanover
and Douglass properties to his son Geolge Mack L.{, Miller
of Douglass Twp, and his younger son lohn Mack 1.8 (and
grandchildren) of Douglass Twp. In the respective recorded landdeeds, JohnMackof UpperHanovef is de'
scribed in occupation as a "Mason," "Yeoman" (Farmer),
and "Miller."
On 21 ]un 17 43, " I ohn Mock, Phila delphia County''
1 was naturalized6. Keep in mind that Montgomery
County was not formed from Philadelphia County until
1784.Our GoshenhoppenJohn Mackis not to be confused
with John Mack, son of Alexander Mack the 'Tunkefl' who
was also naturalized on the same day: Johannes Mak, of
Germantown" Philadelphia County."7 Interestingly, both
JohnMacks were listed as subscribing to the Qualifications
as "Quakers." This collaborates somewhat with Steve
Lapp's excellent MFH aficle "Mennonite Mack, Families of
Pennsylaania" (Oct 1996) which introduced the
Goshenhoppen Macks as Mennonites despite the many
Goshenhoppen Reformed records. It is also worthy to note
that John Mack 1.8 of Upper Hanover and Geoqge Mack
1.4 of Douglass Twp were both listed as "Non-Associators"
in the Muster Rolls ot1779.8 Howevex, it is noted in the
Pennrylxvnia Archiues that it is doubtful that all persons
listed on that list were truly "Non-Associators." This we
find true. 1n1780, we locate John Mock and George Mock
in Captain FrederickBeitemanls Company, 4ft Bat.
3'd
Co.7e
and 8th Class respectively along with son-in-law and
brother-in-law Andrew Weiler married to Anna Maria
Mack 15. Incidentally, Andrew Weiler was not listed as a
"I.[on-Associato/' of Douglass Twp in which he resided
in1779.
John Mack 1of New Goshenhoppen was prominent
in his community, mentioned as the elected 1759 Township 'Assesso/' in David Shultze's lournale He is also
found in several personal ads in local newspapers of his
day, including, Souer's Newspaper: "April 24, 1752
Johannes Mack, Goshenhoppen (Montgomery County)
wants a Smitll'(37). Years later anAd reads, 'July 31,1751
George Schlayer, New Goshenhoppeq at Johann Mack's
Mill, seeks his brother Henrich, who arrived in America
nine years ago." (97)10
John Mack 1 also appears in Benjamin Franklinls,
The Pennsylwnia Gazette: "August 2,1764 Strayed or stolen in the Nighf between the 8th and 9th Day of June last,
out of the Pasture of John Mock, in Upper Hanovet Township, and County of Philadelpfua, a sorrel Horse, eight

and reasonable Charges, paid by GEQRGE

Another Ad reads, " Apil4, \792 EIGHT DOLLARS

paper-mill, in Douglass township, Montgomery county,
on the 16th day of February last past, a sky coloured MARE;

a star in her forehead, carries her head and tail higlr, when
rid, an ailment in her left eye, the left hind foot is white,
she paces, trots, and gallops, hath neither btand nor ear
mark, and is apt to bite at strangers. Whoever takes up the
Mare and thie{, or gives me notice where I can have the
Mare again, shall have the above reward, with reasonable
charges, from |OHN BIEHM. N.B. Said Mare was marauded by a tall fellow, with light coloured haitr, is about
30 years of age, speaks good English and German. April
3.12 @mphasis added. Note: ]ohn Boehm is the 2"d husband of Mary Schell Mack sp of John Mack 1.8).
We know from two separate documents, that John
Mack L of New Goshenhoppen died between 13 june L795
(the date of his last land deed) and L0 Feb t796 (Will of
Christopher Schlicher see WFH )OV No. 1).
JOHN MACK

LAND HISTORY
The key that tim John Mack 1 of New Goshenhoppen
to his descendants lies in the Land Deeds. The wonderful
thing about land deeds is they most generally indude a
title history and relationship (if it exists) between the
Grantor and Grantee. The following is the title history for
the land owned by John Mack 1 conveyed to his two sons:
George Mack 1.4 and John Mack, Jr. 1.8.
fitle History o{ Land Conveyed to son George Mack
L.4: ByLand Warrant dated 5 Feb lT33,JacobFisherof New
Goshenhoppen was conveyed a tract of land in Upper
Flanover ("alias New Gowssioppen") containing 300 acres
which he shortly sold thereafteq, in equal half parts, 150
acres to his son Herman Fisher (married to Margaret Mack)
and 150 acres (149 a to be precise) to john Mack 1. fohn
Mack 1 "of Upper Hanovel' conveyed this tract to "son
George Mack" 7.4 of. Douglass Township, Miller of said
township on 13 ]une 1795. The Indenture was recorded 3L
|ul 1805.13 (Sue's note: Ma{garet Mack married to Herman
Fisher would have been too old to be John Mack's daughter. Sisterperhaps?)
Also recorded on 31 Jul 1801 were two tracts of land
owned by John Mack 1 in Douglass Twp, which he also
deeded to George Mock 1.4.14 The original indenture was
made 08 May 7773. One tract contained 100 acres of land
deeded to John Mock 1 on17 Jan1759 by Samuel McCalL
formerly owned by the Penn Family (this same land was
mentioned in Steve Lapp's article "George and Esther
Mockl Mack Family" MFH Vol. III No. 3). The second kact
contained 58 acres of land which was previously owned
by Andreas Weiler (father of john Mack's son-in-law Andrew Weiler married to Anna Maria Mack 1.5) deeded to
Iohn Mock 7 on?2Nov 1762.
When son George Mack 1.4 (married 1st Elizabeth
Martiru 2nd Esther) died on 11Apr 1812, these lands were
bequeathed to his own two sons, John Mack'1..4.2 and.
Geoqge Mack"Jr. L.4.8. SonJohn Mack 1.4.2 (married to
Catherine Huber) received all of his father's lands in
DouglassTwp totaling 150 acres. Younger son, GeorgeJr.
1.48 (married to Magdalena Kramm) received the 150 acre
traet in Upper Hanover.ls
On 29 Nov 1856, George Jr. 1.4.8 and wife
Magdalena Mack granted and conveyed this same parcel
to their eldest sory lohn Mack L.4.8.1(married to Maria
Seasholtz).16 John Mack 1.4.8.L then bequeathed by Last
Will and Testament recorded 10 Jun L8&1 this land to his
sory John S. Mack 14873. Now, John S. Mack 74813,W
virtue of the Mnck Family BiblelT,was the father of Howard
George Mack 148135. Finally, Howard George Mack
148135 was the father of our Emest W. Mack L481351.
Title History of Land Conveyed to John Mack, jr
1.8: On ?7 May 1783, lohn Mack, jr. 1.8 paid f,600 to his
fatheq, John Mack, Sr. 1 of Upper Hanover for 106 acres
and a Paper Mill situated in Douglass Twp. The deed was
not recorded at that time. Upon the untimely death of John
Mack,Ir. 1.8 in October of the same year (he fell off a
wagon),Iohn Maclq Sr 1. then conveyed the land and
Paper Mill to the children of his late sory "subiect to payment of Dowery to Mary the mother." This indenture was
made on 28 Dec 1784 arrd recorded 22Feb 1785. The children were named as John, Maqy and Wlliam Mack. They
were minors at the time of transaction.
More than 20 years later on 25 Aprit 1805,lohn &
Wlliam Mock placed an advertisement in a Norristown,
Pennsylvania Newspaper: John Mock and William Mock
advertise the sale of a paper mill and 106 acres of land in
Douglass Township; includes almost new mill house, two
new iron paper pnesses/ wooden press, rag cutter and rag
duster."18 This land and mill was inevitably sold to a Mr.
Thomas Boyd on 15 August 1805.1e
From this latter deed, we also discover that their
mothe4, Mary Mack (now deceased), intermarried with
John Boehm. Additional support is found in her Will
Abstrach '?OEHM, MARY. Marlborouglu September 29,
1794. Odober 23,1794. Land and saw-mill to 4 children:
|ohn, Mary and William Mock and Betsey Boehm, equally.
ToBetseyBoehm, rem. of personalty and50 pds. inmoney.
Execs: George Schultz, Abraham Schultz.'2o
Furthermore, we learn from the 1805 Land Deed that
John Mock L.8.1 and wife Barbara are living in Douglass
Twp, Berks, PA, Mary Mock 1.8.2 intermarried with Andrew Mowrer resides in St. Clair Twp, Bed{ord, PA and
Wlliam Mock 1.8.3 and wife Barbara reside in ExeterTwp,
Berks, PA.

My 3g grandfather was David Rolston, brother of

I have found some really interesting informationregarding this family. Who is the ancestor in this family with
the Seneca Indian ancestry ? Could it be Rudolph Mock
III's wife Margarget ? Cynthia Mock's mother was
Cynthia CwterfiAtilson and I am betting on her. My grandfather, Cain Whipkey, told many stories about when he
was a little boy he got polio and his Indian grandmother
(Cynthia Mock Humble) would wrap his leg in wet, hot
wool blankets and told him that "her people" did it this
way. He was able to walk and always was grateful to his
grandmother.
I have made great progrcss with my research of the
Cain, Custer & Humble families and now want to find
out more of the Mock family. ln the 1900 Census for Seneca Reservation, Indian Territory, I found my ancestor
Barnett Cain Humble and his wife Cynthia Mock and their
last child at home, Emma Humble age 13 yrs. Cynthia is a
daughter of Abraham Mock

Included in Henry |. Young's "Abstracts of The Natulaliz.ation Records of Cumberland County, PA, 1798-1906"
is one George Mack. It states that he was of North
Middleton Township, Cumberland County.
At age 4$ he declared his intention to become a U.S.
citizen on November LQ 1834. He was bom in Rothenbury
Circle of Rezat (sp?-hard to read), Kingdom of Bavaria.
He emmigrated from there onApr 13,1828 and arrived in
NY City on |uly 4 1828. (the man had great dming)
Perhaps this will prove useful to someone.

Letters to the Editor
I am seeking information on the Mouck surname and
am trying to understand the origins of the name.
I have been looking for family srunames origins and
meanings, and while I found the origins and meanings of
all my family names, I've yet to find anything on the
Mouck name Once I am ready to put my tree on-line,Id
like to be able to give a little info and website formore info
on each family name. As I cannot find anything on Mouck,
I amreconsidering this idea as I donlt want to leave it outespecially since it was my mother's maiden name.
Ihave tracked my gggrandfather b.18/9) listed as
born in Canada as were both parents.
My question is this - The Mouck surname is German,
right? If so, would that not mean that they immigrated to
Canada from a Germanic Country? If so, how would I
track back past my gg grandfather? Here is what I have;
Loais E. Mouckb. Oct L849 Cannda; m. Hatiet A,

There are many variations of the name Mock. It appears that those that were of Swiss origin spelled their
name Maag. When they arrived in PA, the name was
spelled Mauk. Why? - who knows. Language could have
been involved. The immigration and census people probably spelled it the way they heard it. Many within the
same family spelled it different. This Maag/Mauk family
kept the name Mauk while in VA. The next generation in
KY the name became Mock. Another Mock family of German descent who spelled their name Mack while living
in PA. By the time they arrived in OF{, itwas Mock.
Please don't give up on your mother's surname of
Mouck. I would suggest you use the Internet - Ifs truly
amazing what you can come up with. I think if s
""lik"ly
that you'll find the origin of this name. I've done research
on my husband's name @ittig) and traced it back to Germany in the early 1700's. Still don't know the origirU but
I've learned a lot about the family along the way.
Huppy hunting!

Alexander Mack Ancestor
I am researching my husband's family history. His
mother was a Mack and her side of the family, it seems,
was veqF interested in genealory, probab$ because the
women were active with DAR She died in 19l2,butlefta
"family history" of sorts. It traces the family line back to
AlexanderMack,but gives few details and the family line
she mentioned isn't in your working charts. It might be
that she was in error, but could it also be that there are
other descendant lines not covered by your charts?
Briefly, the line is: Alexander Mack; his sory Wlliam Mack" documented Rev. War ve! his son" Alexander
Mack m. Susanna Fisher (moved fromAdams Co, PA to
Winchesteq, O$ to Carthage, IL; his sory David Mack
1817 11819 trt.PA "near Gettesburg"; m. Augusta Henriette
UlriclU his sory David Edward Mack 1860-1937 , Cafthage,

Ed. Note to Sheila:
Thank you for writing regarding your Alexander
Mack family line. Obviously this family has not been researched by any of our members. #L.3.1, - William Mack
b. 31 Oct 1749; d.13 Feb 1813, could have been in the Revolution. He was the s/o Alexander Mack Jr. & Elizabeth
Neis.
I would be very interested in your research for this
family and will be happy to work with your and share
any further information I receive on this line.
We are particularly interested in any Alexander Mack
direct male descendant who would be willing to participate in our Mock/ Mack DNA project

Chester County, PA Mocks
An onging research study by Orville Moch Karen Krich andJoy Henning
has determined that 3 working charts, 17,17A & 59 be combined.
Peter Mock lll.17A has been moved to Chart #17, a
son of John Mock; Samuel Mock who married Mary Ann
Brower (Chart #59) has also been moved to Chart #17, a
son of Peter.
Chart #17
Mock d. 1804; m. Anna Margaretha
A burial record from Zion's Lutheran Church in
Pikeland in 1813 reads: 27th ]anuary buried Anna
Malgaretha Maclq born 1726,thefathrelr (unknown) Hauclg
the mother: (unknown), was married to John Mack. Cre.
ated 7 sons and 1 daughter. Her illness came from a fall at
night. She died on Monday morning, her age 87 years.
The known sons of john Mock (Mack) are Peter,
Bernard Reinhard & Isaac. Two daughters are mentioned
in his will, Rosina b. ca 175A and Elizabeth. Anna must
be the second wife of John Mock. Rosina and possibly Peter are with the first wife.
1.5 - Peter Mock
From Orville Mock
My Mock Family connection as written by my GGrandparents, William Mock & Mary Stitelerbegins with
his grandfather Petet Mock, a carpet weaver. He said Peter had six sons and a daughter. Only one so& William
Mock, is mentioned because the others are dead in 1893
when the article was writteru Baptism records atZion's
Lutheran Church & St Peter's Lutheran Church in Pikeland
Township list three sons; Levi Wlliam & Ionahborn to
Peter and Mary Mock. A Chester Co. Vincent township
1799 tax record lists Peter Mock, son of john Mock who
was assessed downward for age and infirnrity, chaqged as
a weaver. The only JohnMock around this area at the time
was |ohn Mock (chart #17) who died in 1804. Ionah Mock
b. 1812 d. 1853 is buried at St. Peter's Cemetery in Pikeland
Township among the Defrederick family. His tombstone
says he is the son of Peter & Ma{y Mock. Samuel Mock
was maried to Sarah Defrederick. She died in 1837 at a
young age and is buried near Jonah Mock I suspect that
]onah and Samuel are brothers. Samuel apparently moved
on. OtherVincentTownship MocKs is Eli born about 1800
married to Mary and Peter married to Susana and son
Michael b. 1810. I suspect they are sonls of Peter the
weaver. So his six sons are Levi,William, |onah for sure
and I believe Pete4, Samuel & Eli are the others.
On March 2,1817 at Zion's Lutheran Church Elizabeth Mock married Jacob Hilbert of Pottstown. t don't
know her parents, but she might be the daughter. John
Mock also had a daughter Elizabetlu which he mentions
in his will. The Flilberts moved on to Ohio.
1.5.5 - Samuel Mock
I believe the Samuel Mock listed in the Vincent Township, Chester Co 1830 Census is the following family from
the St. Peters Lutheran Church records in Pikeland Township.

InfantMockb. Feb 1837 Chester Co, Pfi d. Feb 1"837
Chester Co, PA
Samuel's wife Sarah and their fifth child died in Feb.
1837. The wife was buried Feb L2th and the child was
buried Feb. 28th at St. Peters Cemetery, Pikeland Township, Chester Co. Samuel, at the death of his wife, had
three living children and the oldest was six.
As listed in the 1850 census, the 20 year difference in
ages between Samuel and wife, Maqy Ann Brower suggested a second marriage which ties in with the death of
Samuels first wife.
The L837 death of wife Sarah doesnit leave much time
for Samuel to marry Mary Ann and have a sory William,
in 1838 in Perry County but it's not impossible. Also maybe
Samuel would be more likely to leave Chester County after he was widowed if for example he had family or his
deceased wife's family lived in Perry County to help care
for these children whose baptisms have been found. Of
course if this is all the same Samuel he'd have to return to
Chester County by 1850 and then move to Kansas later.
In
1,850, a
Mock family lived in Tredyffrin Twp,
Chester Co PA. In looking a little furthe4. I found that this
famity later lived in Illinois and Crawford Co. I(S.

Madgalena's |acob born 1780 would be the ]acob who was
the War of 1812 veteran enlisted from West Vincent Twp.
Chester Co. PA in 18L4. Birthyear from the 1830 and 1840
censuses calculates to 179G1800 while the birth year calculated fromthe 1850 and 1870 censuses is 1795 and 1792
respectively. While censuses are inexact, these all suggest
a birth year in the 179Os and thus rather later than the
1780 fuomthe church record.
These facts combined with the common name, |acob,
I think donlt support the premise that Nicholas is the father.
Many of these West Vincent Township Mocks seemed
to have lots of sons and not all these sons are accounted
for in known charts so to my simplistic thinking Id still
suspect that |acob, War of L8L2 veteran on chart 1,8, would
be related in some unknown manner to Orville's Mocks.
Ed. Note: In editing the vast amount of material that
Orville, Karen andJoy have compiled,I have
condensed their findings in this article. As they have
sai4 this is an ongoing research prolect and much
more to be learned - so stay tuned!
Barbara Dittig editor
Chester Co, PA military service - late 1700s
From Karen Krich - I have a list of some Mocks serving in various battalions and militia from the late 1700's.
Unfortunately this piece of paper came out of a notebook
from work I did over 20 years and does not include a
source! I suspect the source was a book at the FHC or the
Pennsylvania Historical Society.
Orville has mentioned a Nicholas Mock from
Vincent Twp, Chester Co. and he is on this list I thought
I'd provide what I wrote down:
2nd Battalion Chester 7th Co C-opt furber-taur of duty
Sept 24, L7 81.-Vincmt-Nicholas Mo ck
Also from Chester County:
Znd Battnlion Chcster Co Militia, ColThos Bull, Capt
Beatty Co, tour of iluty August L2, L780-3rd class
E a stnantm el -l a cob Mo ck
2nd BattalionChester Co MilitinCapt Griffith
Co-E astruntmel 2nil class-lacob Mock
Can anyone help me update my records with the
likely source of this information?
Has anyone looked at Eastnantmeal Township
records such as tax records or land records?

Research by Karen
Krich
In the book "A History of West Vincent
Township"edited by Elizabeth C. Eldridge there are a
couple of Mock references. On page 35 in a discussion of
the Civil War it says "....Lewis Mock died. Among the
West Chester recruits were H. Kennedy and other members of the Kennedy and Mock families...." I think
Lewis could be individual 1..5.2.6 on chart 17, ason
of Levi Mockand Maria Hipple.
At the Pennsylvania digital archives ARIAS there
was a card for Lewis Mock in LL9I which was the only
information given. Does anyone know if that was a
Chester County company or not?
In this same book on pages 3&9 "Men from West
Vincent who served in World War Il.....Robert Mock...."
In the book '"fhe Upper Uwchlan, A Place Betwixt
and Between" by Estelle Cremers on page 98 it states that
Wlliam Mock was on the list of 1862 township residents
eligible for the draft. This meant that there was a special
mark by his name on the 1ffi2 tax list. This book also has
information on gravestones from St Matther,r/s Evangelical Lutheran Cemetery which includes a number of more
recent Mocks from chart 17 who died after 1900.

The deathdateof L40ct

in Kosciusko Co, IN is used for both individual 1.4 on chart
28 and individual 1.3.1..2 on chart 00.
I have an interest in undaimed johns as that seerns
tobe my family's favorite name. To me it seems that the
correct John dying on this date would be the one from
chart 28 as other family members are buried inthis cemetery as well while little seems known about the )ohn from
chart 00 other than his name and the fact that his father
died in Bedford County, PA (sounds like a perfect match
for my mysterious family! and just what I need another John
possibly in Bedford County)

Doug Mauck's DNA Update
Maybe you've noticed that I've added Theron Mock
to our chart even though we don't have his participation
in the Mock Surname Project yet. I was able to do that
because Theron is an exact 37 marker match with Thomas
F. Mock, Gaty W. Mock, and Roger N. Mauck. Of course
because of the matcheq we know that Thencn also descends
from an unknown |ewish male in the distant past.
We have had some participants take advantage of
the new lower price for mtDNA tests (989). Some of those
results are due by the end of August, induding my wife
|an's results. Jan thinks that her maternal great-grandmother was Indian and the mtDNA test may confirm that.
Native American mtDNA dates back 5Q000 years to
Eastern China and central Siberia. When we get toZhgiang
Provence in Chin4 bothJan and I may be returning to our
ancestral roots! Without DNA testing we wouldn't know
that.
China is undertaking an extensive DNA project to
trace the many tribes, peoples and origins that make up
the Chinese population. They are definitely not just one
people. There are 56 ethnic groups in China's population
and they each have different geographical origins,
The Discovery Channel recently had a program
showing that Europeans migrated to the area of the Gobi
Desert around 7,000 years agq lived there as a gloup for
2,000 to 3,000 years and then were assimulated into the
Chinese population. The Chinese DNAproject will probably find European Y-DNA and mtDNA in their population! We are, indeed, related to everyone in the world!
When we get to China, you won't be able to tel the
di-fference in our e-mail and internet access. I'll be able to
receive anything there that I can at home. Even the spam
I've been getting from Poland in the Polish language that I
can't read!

Re the Michael Mock in
DNA Chart b. 1806
Last year when I discovered a 121L2 match with
Myron Mock I corresponded with several descendants of
that line. We were never able to make a connection. The
information I got from them was that Michael Mock was
born in Ohio in 1805 and maruied Margaret Ann
Biddleman. Michael's Mock's father was loseph Mock
born in PA and died in OH. Michael Mock eventually
migrated to Burlington IA. Michael ModCs son was Wesley
Mock who moved to Harrison County, Missouri. Thuy
have their line well-documented from Ohio on but have
no inlormation on eadier generations.
. foy Henning
I would like to know (if anyone can tell me) where
Michael Mock's family lived inOhio? I see where his family went to Burlington, IA which is near my Mock family
in Illinois...Thanks...

Samuel John Mock's 846 birthday
The following letter was written by Granddad Mock
to his granddaughte4, Edna Downing and Nellie Laub on
how he spent his 84s birthday. He made a bargain with
Estherthathe would walkfourmiles in a hou-q, if she would
bake a cake for him. The handwritten copy is in my file.
" So on Fidny, the 6th of Octobn, tht dny befure his 84th
birthilay
he stmted out at 8:00 a.m. to walk tltree sections, which
maile 8 miles, so I got back at nty starting place a fal minutes
before L0:00 a.tn., so I rnon my cake.
After noon he started North anil went oaer ta fohn
Grayhams, utho lioes east of the Shamrock mine.o When I got
back from my rounds I fgureil that I had walkcil a little better
than 18 miles, thnt ilfry. So we agree to hrae the cake on Sunilay,
that way I coulil go fshing on my birthday. Saturdny mmning
I got up they uns asking mc hou I zaas feeling, I tolil them fne.
I went out and fed and. watered the chickens. When I cmnc back
in Mr. Wooil Berry had come by anil hmrd how far I had unll@d
the ilny befwe and he zuas afraid I uould be sinch so he left a
Iittlemeilicine inthebottomof asmall glass. Zelln saiilfor me to
takr it. I loolced at the glass and I tolil Zelln if I took thnt I woulil
be good for 20 miles tlnt doy, n they diiln't haae to hold my
nose nor slnp my ioys to get me to takc
it.
I hndbreakfast at 7:00
a,m. and started utest, went one mile, turned south went to
Conoaers. Got there at 10:00 a.m., but the last ftoo miles I had a
ride. I stnyed for ilinner. Bernice wanted to bring me back. I tolil
h er, " N o ", I un s znatkimg
lor a prize. I s tarteil bac* a hnlfaast at
1.2:30 p.m. When I got back to the Columbine mine, I got anothr ride of three miles , that made fae miles riding in the round
lt is 13 miles to C-onoaers, taking 5 from 26,\eft 21" miles
t]rnt I hnil u)alled. We fgured thc time I was riling the fiae miles
and as close as we coulil get at nty walking time was 5 anil onehalf hours for the 21 miles. When I got back home, the sun uns
way abwe the top of the mountains, so I iliiln't feel aery tired,
trip.
I untczd 8 more miles. I went arounil hoo
n
sections when we
fgured it all ap,I hadbeen a fao minutes oaer 7 hour anil onehalf Inurs, walking the 29 miles. I didn't quite aouage 4 miles
to thc hotr, bat it will ilo for anyone that me 84 years to beat,
when they do I urifl set them one better."
There are also a couple of newspaper articles about
S. J. Mock's celebration of his 84th birthday with his 29
mile walk on Saturday, October 7 in the Erie, Colorado
News on Friday, October 13, 1833.
"
Mr. Mock attributes his long life to h,ard work anil Colorailo Sunshirc [natmoonshinel." Acopy is in my file.
Also when he was 83 years old S. ]ohn Mock decided
he would learn to ride a bicyde, too. John Mock of 114
Owens Drive, already past his 83 milestone, who refused
to admithe was too old tolearn anythingnew."He trundled
out his granddaughter's birycle and started to push the
pedals.. He fell oveq, but tried again. He took several falls
and finally learned the knack of keeping his balance. He
enjoyed the experience so much that he rides frequently

Samuel fohn's 84th birthday, Cont'd
near his home. All of which may or may not prove that
you can't teach an old dog new tricks or thatyou're just as
young as you feel.
At this time, Samuel John Mock was living in Weld
County, Coloradg near his sory Fred and family.
Another granddaughter tells the following story
about Granddad Mock Vivian Mock Hanson, the youngest daughter of Clarence Elmer Mock wrote this letter to
me inluly 1988.
"I remember Samuel lohn Mock well. When I was in my
teens, I had the opportunity to marchuith aband in thr Rose
Parade in Pasailenn, CA. We znere lioing in Manhattnn Beach,
CA and Grandpa was liaing zuith us for mohile. I was to carry
thebanner in front of thebanil.
Granilpa Mock fumn the pmade route went for fne miles,
so decideilhe hailbetter get me in training. For weeks we uent
out neryilny and utallced fow or fioe miles . When we utoulil get
home, I would collapse in a hmp, but Granilpa Mock woulil my,
" Go o ilhy e ", and b e of walking arcther thre e or fo ur mil e s. Whe n
the day of thepmade came, the other girl,utha uns to cmry the
banner with me, became ill. So at the last minute we got my
sistn, Mmguerite, to come march with me. After a couple of
miles, Mmgueritewas rmdy ta call it quits,but due to Grandpa's
great training,
I
sailed through the paraile.
My own Dail

While on vacation in Colorado this summex, we vis-
ited Mesa Verde National Park which is very close to
Mancos where ferry and Kathy Mock live. The Mocks
were members several years ago and we had met at the
Mock conference in Bedford, PA. I called them and we
ended up having a most enjoyable lunch with them at the
Senior Center in Mancos and of course a lot of "MockTalk"
transpired. As Kathy says, Jerry is the Mock and she is the
genealogist.
As a result, They have rejoined the MFH and MockGen-L. Kuthy is in full swing bringing the William Henry
Mock chart up to date and ]erry has participated in the
DNA project. His results should be coming very sn)n.
Welcome back, ferry & Kathy!

OFF POWDER
MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), April L2
TWo business men of this city, |ohn MOCK and M.
GOMES, had a dispute yesterday as to the best means to
obtain results from a heap of powder when a match is used
igniting the explosive.
One contended that to apply the flame of the match
was a quickerway, while the otherheldthat it let the flame
die out and apply the embers of the lucifer was a neveras a means of
failing method.
They proceeded to experiment in order to settle a
waget and had the powder ready and the match in position to strike, when one John SCHNABEL took a hand
and insisted on applying the flames. In igniting the powder he was careless, and when the explosion took place he
was badly burned about the face and arm. FIis clothing
took fire, and it required the united efforts of Mock and
Gomes to save him from fatal injuries. Schnabel says a
forly-foot pole will be the handle to the match when he
again "touches off' some powder,

Excerpts from mytTamily Twig"
by Sharon Mock Whitaker
Chart #48
Johannes > Philip >David >Franklin > Franklin
This is the researchon my family twiglhave had for
a good numberof years buthave neverre-typed andnumbered them for you to put in your Mock Working Charts.
With Tom Mock's site now gone,I needed to do it so that
it is not "Iost;' Since my father (Lloyd Mock)is the last
living sibling (he just turned 91) letters and family pictures all came to him/me whenmy aunts and undes died.
Unfortunately in the case of the 5-10 letters-they are not
dated nor still have their envelope with the stamps. Have
5
o16letters writtenfromFranklinMock tohis wife while
he was in Mexico (190b1907 ish).
The research my siste4 Dad and I did in hryo Co,
CA in the Fall of 1999 is what made me aware of the gold
mine of information available in the chatty newspapers of
the day. These are the "tacts" I want to find because as
you said-the people become "real".
Franklin Mock,Jr.,was born 01 Nov 1.857 in LexingtonTwp, Lafayette Co, MO. He died2TOct 1945 inElPaso,
El Paso Co, TX.. Franklin married Ida CatherineHardy,
28 May 1891 in Independence, Inyo Co, CA. She was born
22Sep 1872lrl. Independence,Inyo Co, CA and died 19
Mar 1959 inEl Paso, ElPaso Cqfi.She was the daughter
of George HenqT Hardy and Eva Patty Matthews. Both
are buried in Rest Lawn Cemetery El Paso, Texas.
According to the 1880 Census, Franklin, age ?3 years,
was living and working on his siste4 Mary Dobson and
her husband's farm in Simpson, Johnson County, Mo.
|an 26,1888 the lnyo Register lists landowners with
over 100 acres. Both Frank Mock and his father-in-law
(George Hardy) are listed as having 160 acres each.

This will link you to the Mock Working Charts and
our new research tool, Mock Working Charts Index mas-
ter-mined by Paul Swan
This index is composed of two parts:
The Mock index lists all5900 numbered individuals
and their spouses whose surname is any variation of Mock.
It is sorted by the given names of each individual, so that,
e.g,, Johann Frederick Maag would be listed adjacent to
|ohann Frederick Mug (that is, unless a |ohann Frederick
Mock intervenes).
,'.: The Other index lists all6100 numbered individuals
and spouses with surnames other than Mock or its variations. It is sorted in the usual manner by "surname, given
names". These ate, of. course, cffifu41 and }ater direct descendants of Mock da'ughters, ustEff.ut tpfot"t.
