In an effort to identify C. SMOCK of USC 1810 IL Terr Randolph Co. I have found the following SMOCK descendants with first names beginning with the letter C. Calvin, son of Barney, son of C. SMOCK Casper, unk (possible son of C. SMOCK) Charles, Son of Thomas, possible grandson of C. SMOCK Cornelius, son of Alfred, son of C. SMOCK The name, Cornelius, is found in earlier SMOCK families in KY, PA and NJ. C. SMOCK and wife, Sarah, had a son, Hiram, b. 1800 in KY (calculated from USC 1850 Hardin Co., IL). Hiram had no known children with a name beginning with the letter C. In USC 1800 KY there was a Cornelius SMOCK with a family in Bullitt Co. He is believed to be the son of Barney/Barent and Ann/Antje (Cozine/Cosyn) SMOCK of Mercer Co., KY. This Cornelius was christened in Conewago, PA in 1772, came to KY about 1784 with his parents who settled in Mercer Co., KY. This Cornelius SMOCK is carried in several public records as an adult in Mercer Co., KY. His marriage record has not been found. He is not found in KY in USC 1810 or thereafter. It appears that Cornelius left KY between 1800 and 1810. There is no SMOCK listed in Randolph Co. in 1807 (then a Co. of IN Terr), so the window fo C. SMOCK's arrival in Randolph Co. is between 1807 and 1810. It has been suggested that C. SMOCK of IL Terr (1810) = Cornelius SMOCK of KY (1800). Need some evidence of C. SMOCK's identity.
