Is anyone researching the Bock or Shewell families? I have a Catherine Bock [born abt. 1799 near Shrewsbury, PA]. She apparently was the daughter of a John Bock whose origins may be in Maryland. Catherine Bock married Jesse Shewell. He is first recorded in the 1818 Shrewsbury tax rolls and subsequent records continue to place him and his wife Catherine plus four children in Shrewsbury. Jesse Shewell's place of origin is unknown. However, family oral history indicates that the Bock family may have originated in Maryland. Baltimore County and Harford County both are quite close to the Shrewsbury area. In addition, there is some evidence of other Bock family members living in the area of Bel Air, MD. I would very much appreciate hearing from anyone following the Bock or Shewell family lines. Walter Picker CAmbria, CA
