Ludwick Sharrer, intestate filed Jan Court 1833 in Frederick County MD, dec'd of Taney Town, one of eight heirs was Mary wife of Christian Mock. [Equity Court, JS-13, pp 258-266]. Christian and Mary Mock's daughter Margaret Mock Teeter's obit in the Wamego Reporter reads, 'Margaret Teeter was born near Hagerstown, Maryland, in 1817. With her parents she moved in infancy to Bedford county, Pennsylvania. She was married to David B. Teeter in 1834, and in 1847, with her husband moved to Jefferson county, Iowa. In 1874 the family moved to Wamego....' 1870 census P.O. Fairfield, Des Moines twp, Jefferson County IA lists Mary Mack [sic] age 84 born in MD in the household of David B. & Margaret Teter [sic]. The widowed Mary Mock accompanied her daughter and family on to near Wamego KS where she died 8 Sep 1877. I question the statement that Christian was apparently not a member of the Mock Fraternity of German Baptist at the time of his death in 1855. Seems strange that he would have donated the land for the meeting house and be buried in the adjoining cemetery and not be a member. Milton, thanks for leading me to the Mock site on RootsWeb. It helped tremendiously in my searching for the somewhat illusive David B[urger] Teeter family.
