I'd be happy to share info with you, but I'll soon be offline for a couple of weeks. Earliest I've seen your James is age 9 in Robert G. Mock's 1870 Morgan county MO household. I believe James is the son of Robert's first wife Mary Blassingame rather than of the second wife Lucy _____ who is there in 1870 -- but I'm not 100% sure on that. In 1900 his mother is listed as b. KY (which points to Lucy rather than Mary) but that's not much to go on. Need to find Lucy's marriage or Mary's death record. Robert G. Mock was a son of Daniel W. Mock Jr. The Mock Family Historian website (http://mock.rootsweb.com/) has some info on them under working charts but it looks like it still needs some work; they don't have the 2nd wife listed. My gggrandfather Henry Mock was a brother (or 1/2 brother) to your James. Have a few pictures, too -- it would be interesting to compare the two brothers if you have pictures of James. Feel free to email me at the address in my profile.
