My husband's mother is a descendant of William Mock (1836-1909) and Sarah Ellen Blackburn (1840-1918). William was a s/o John C Mock and Annie Allison of Bedford County, PA.. William fought in the Civil War and in some accounts is declared to have died in the war, but it wasn't our William; it was a cousin named William Mock who was killed in the Civil War. Our William was already married at the time he became a soldier and had at least two children. In the 1860 census, he and Sarah Ellen are living in St Clair Twp, Bedford Co.. William is HOH but is "farm labor," and the young family is living with 71-year-old Amos Edwards, who is "farmer" though not HOH. (Sarah Ellen grew up in St Clair Twp in the household of Amos Edwards, but we have not found why. Her census data says she was born in "IA", which could mean Iowa or perhaps Indiana, given the date. We don't know who her parents were. We think Amos Edwards and the Blackburns were likely Quaker.) After William came home from the war, the family moved west. In 1870 they lived in Bureau County, IL, and 1880 they were in Henry Co. IL. By 1900 they had moved to Clay County, Nebraska. William and Sarah Ellen had 13 children. When we went to the Mock genealogy conference in Bedford, PA, several years ago, we were fortunate enough to be able to tour several of the Mock and Mauk sites, including the burial site of Peter Mock (1742-1817) and Elizabeth ?Sample? Mock, thought to be our emigrants. We also had Sunday morning services in the Mock Log Church and had a chance to tour the cemetery there. I have not tried (yet) to trace the ancestry of the Christian Mock who donated the land for the church site, but am inclined to think it is worth investigating whether there is an unsuspected Brethren tie there for our family, since Christian and William were apparently in the same township in the same county at approximately the same time.
