I'm much interested in your comment about the Blackburns, Irish Quakers who moved from Bedford County PA to Black Hawk IA. Please contact me off-list about these folks. My Blackburn brickwall grew up in Bedford County but in each census she is identified as being born in "IA". She was raised by Amos Edwards, not any Blackburns, and she married William Mock of Bedford County, PA. I think these Mocks had a Brethren link, since one of them donated the land for the Mock Log Church, which is Brethren. Perhaps we have something to share.

Re: Brethren Mocks I'm a descended of the Mocks of St. Clair & Union Townships in Bedford County, and I haven't run into any Brethren Mock's. I believe the Christian Mock that is buried at the Mock Log Church is likely from a different Mock line, or may even be a Mack. Not sure how it got the Mock name. An early history of Bedford County talks about the Brethren and this log church, and makes not connection to any Mocks. The Blackburn family lived in the St. Clair and Union Township area. I have a George Mock who married a Hannah Blackburn, and they had a son William Mock. But those Mock's are buried in a Methodist cemetery. I also have a William Mock who married a Sarah Ellen Blackburn. This William's father is buried in the Evangelical Cemetery, and his mother was an Allison, who was Scotch Irish and has distant ancestors buried in a local Quaker Cemetery. Bill Thomas
