The Lineage of

Peter Mock II of Maryland and Ohio

Peter II Descent

Peter II Y-DNA Descent

Peter II was christened 22 Feb 1767 in St. Mary's Ch., Silver Run, Frederick, Maryland and died after Sep 1835.

Peter II’s marital data are not known.

The name of Peter II’s wife is unknown.

Peter II is listed in the intestate proceedings after his father’s death as the eldest son of the family. He is assumed here (see the introduction above) to be the Peter Mack baptised by the Rev. Jacob Lischy who served congregations ranging from North Codorus Township, York County, Pennsylvania to Silver Run, Frederick (now Carroll) County, Maryland [Lapp, 1998]. Considering the 1821 records of Peter Mach/Mack in the St. Mary’s Church of Silver Run, the latter locale is the most probable one for this baptism record.

It is of interest to note that Steve Lapp reported that an Elizabeth Dieter, widow, is also on the subscription list of St. Mary’s Church in Silver Run, MD, along with Johannes, son of Peter Erb [Lapp, 1998]. In the next generation we’ll see that she is the mother-in-law of Peter III.

Peter II probably appears in the 1810 Frederick County, Maryland, census as P. Mock, born 1765-1784, with a wife born in the same period. This isn’t much help, as the range spans the baptismal date of Peter II almost to the probable birth year of Peter III. There was a female born 1785-1794 in his home, presumably a daughter, but we have no other record of this person.

Remember from above that Peter II was subject to the decree of Novermber, 1833 that his father’s land on which he had been living must be sold, although we don’t know exactly when that occurred, nor when he had to vacate the land. It is doubtful, however, that he ever owned land in Maryland other than that family estate, as no records of him have surfaced there.

In March of 1835, Peter Mock was one of the complainants, along with Jacob Erb, Barbara Hesson and others, in the sale at the late residence of Peter Halverstadt “by virtue of sundry writs of Fierifaces out of Frederick County Court” of 50 bushels of corn, a lot of cherry, poplar & maple boards & a lot of slabs, baskets, jugs, bottles, apple paring machine, etc.”, seized and taken by the Sheriff [Anon., 1835]. This is one of the last records of a Peter Mock in Frederick County, and it’s impossible to tell which Peter, II or III, was the complainant. This Jacob Erb was most probably a relative of Peter I’s mother Maria Magdalena.

One record has surfaced in Ohio that possibly refers to Peter II, an 1840 census record for a Peter Mack in Seneca Township, Seneca County, Ohio, age 70-80 and thus born 1760-70. This fits perfectly for Peter II, who was 73 years old at that time. Since his son Peter III changed his surname to Mack when moving to Ohio, it’s possible Peter II did also. The Seneca Peter’s wife was born that same decade, and there were younger people in their home, a male and a female age 20-30, thus born 1810-20, and a female 5 to 10 years old. This appears to be a young couple and their child living with Peter, but I have no idea whether or not they were his family members. The young man could have been anywhere from 40 to 60 years younger then Peter Mack, so of an age to be either a son or grandson if related.

Seneca Township is southwest of the county seat of Tiffin, and includes the town of Berwick on the west, a portion of the town of McCutchenville, Wyandotte County, on the south, and contains Sandusky Creek running north on its eastern edge. Peter Mack and the younger man were censused in 1840 as farmers. Thirty-four years later, an 1874 map of the township shows neither Mocks nor Macks as landowners [freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ohio/maps/1874/].

I would like to lay claim to that 1840 census as belonging to Peter Mock II, but considering the lack so far of any other record of him in Ohio, that has to be considered a tenuous claim at this time. In particular, we have no census record for him for 1820 or 1830, in either Maryland or Ohio. Land records may clarify this situation, but I’ve not yet searched for them. Seneca County is about 100 miles northeast of Darke and Miami Counties, Ohio, where we will see below that Peter III and his sons lived.

A careful search of the 1850 census index found no Peter Mack, nor any surname vaguely similar, in Seneca County, Ohio. Nor was there a Peter among the 239 Mocks and 315 Macks in Ohio as a whole. There was a 10 year old Laura Mack in Clinton, Seneca County, living with James and Priscilla Freeze, but there’s no way of telling who she might have been. Clinton Township includes most of Tiffin, the county seat.

On the 1874 map of Jackson Township [op. cit.], in the northwest corner of Seneca County, an H. J. Mock is shown as the owner of the SE 1/4 of the SE 1/4 of Sec 23. T3N R13E. No related family names appear in the neighborhood, and there were no Mocks censused in Seneca County in 1870 or 1880. There are no structures appearing in that quarter-quarter section on the current USGS map, but interestingly enough, the next property north and two south appear in precisely the same locations over a century apart.

There is one record of a Mary Moch censused in Jackson Township, Seneca County in 1860. She was aged 66, and had real and personal property valued at $800 and $100, but no occupation. Living with her was an Andrew Moch, whose middle initial I can’t read, aged 27, no occupation, and blind. Mary is shown as born 1793/94 in Pennsylvania, which if correct means she could not have been a daughter of Peter II.

The only child of Peter Mock II was Peter III.

i Peter III Mock/Mack, son, born 1785/1786 in Maryland. Peter III married Elizabeth Dieter/Deter {b 1794/1795 in Maryland}.

Peter III first appears on the public record 7 Feb 1810 when he purchased, as “Peter Mock, Jr.”, 53 3/4 acres known as Durbin’s Mistake for $1075 from Thomas Durbin [Frederick County Land Records, Liber WR 37, Folio 103].

Marilyn Roth contributed, in response to my GenForum query, these two records for Peter III:

Pvt. Peter Mock, b. ca. 1778, res. Darke Co., OH, 1855, served for part of September 1814 under Capt. Fonsten.

Fredk. Co., MD, Militia in the War of 1812: Peter Mock made bounty land claim 55-211975, rejected.

[Frederick Co., MD, Militia in the War of 1812, by Sallie A. Mallick & F. Edward Wright, 1992, Family Line Publications, Westminster, MD].

Peter Mock and his wife Elizabeth sold 1 acre of the Durbin’s Mistake parcel on 9 Apr 1814 to Peter Erb “of Christopher” for $30 [Frederick County Land Records, Liber WR 47, Folio 482], and 6 3/4 acres to Peter Galle on 13 May 1833 [Liber JS 42, Folio 459]. The Christopher addendum to Peter Erb’s name, which occurred every time his name was mentioned in the body of the deed, refers to his father’s given name, because there was another Peter Erb in the county of that generation. This Christopher Erb might have been the brother of Peter’s gramdmother Maria Magdalena Erb, but could have been a later Christopher, as well.

On April 20, 1833, Peter and Elizabeth sold two parcels of the Durbins Mistake land. The first parcel of 12 3/4 acres went to Jacob Hingling for the sum of $265, and the second of 29 1/2 acres to Wm. Copenhaven for $159. I’m indebted to George Horvath, Jr., for bringing to my attention these deeds which I had not previously seen, and providing the meets and bounds for the first parcel.

On 3 Sep 1835, Peter Mock, his wife Elizabeth, and Elizabeth Deider, “mother of Elizabeth Mock and widow of Jacob Deider, dec’d”, sold 89 1/2 acres of Durbin’s Mistake to George Mixsell [Liber JS 48, 115]. This is the last record we have of Peter Mock III in Maryland.

By 1835 two of Peter III and Elizabeth’s sons, Simon and Jacob, were in Newberry Township, Miami County, Ohio[www.tdn-net.com/genealogy/census/nwberryc.htm]. Soon after, in 1837, Peter III purchased land in Wayne Township, Darke County, just a few miles to the west of his sons [courtesy Dec 2005 of a correspondant who wishes to remain anonymous].

There are four census records that can be identified as belonging to Peter Mock III, 1820 and 1830 in Frederick County, Maryland; 1840 and 1850 in Wayne Township, Darke County, Ohio:

4 households after Simon Mack and 1 after Jacob Mack

The children of Peter and Elizabeth in these years can be compared side by side, where 1850 names and birth years in square brackets are taken from other records. Note that both the 1830 census and the military service record above have Peter born before 1780, but the fit to his known chidren seem to argue that this is the correct Peter, even if not the correct age for him. Elizabeth, likewise, has discordant census age records.

Elizabeth Margaret’s name comes from an abstract of her mother’s will recorded 7 Oct 1850 (see below), where she and the four siblings shown in the above table were identified as the only living heirs of Peter and Elizabeth in 1850. Since the sons are listed in the will in order of age, it’s probable that the daughters (named as Eliza Waggamon and Elizabeth Margaret Mack) were, also, hence the placement above of Eizabeth Margaret as the youngest of the children.

The three unnamed children, daughters born 1804-10 and 1815-20, and son 1825-30, are assumed to have died before the first census in which they are missing, but it is possible that any of the three could have been married before their deaths and hence not show in these census records of Peter and Elizabeth.

The parents of Elizabeth were named as Elizabeth and Jacob “Deider” in the last land sale mentioned above. The Widow Elizabeth “Dieter” was a subscriber to the new St. Mary’s Church in Silver Run, Maryland, in 1821, along with Peter Mack [Lapp, 1998]. (That’s the congregation where Peter Mock II was baptised in 1767.) And, on her tombstone in Ohio her name was carved as “wife of Jacob Deter”. The German name of Dieterich was most likely the name of Jacob when he immigrated, the “ich” being dropped by most familes in the early years, and the spelling varying among the descendants, sometimes even among adult children in one family, to include Dieter, Deter, Deeter, Deeder, Teeter and Teter. I’m retaining the earliest and latest versions on record for Elizabeth, and using the earliest for her husband Jacob.

Jacob Dieter’s land lay about two miles due east of the land of Peter Mock I. Called Resurvey on Locust Neck, it comprised 89 1/2 acres surveyed to Jacob in 1793. A detail from a work map provided to me by George Horvath, Jr., below, shows Jacob’s land laid out on a tax map of Carroll County. In the bottom of the figure is my plot of both Jacob’s and Peter’s parcels on a USGS topographical map of the Taneytown area. The waterway running southwest between these two parcels of land is Big Pipe Creek, north of which, somewhere near Taneytown, is land of Henry Beamer, who married Elizabeth, the eldest daughter of Peter Mock I.

Elizabeth Deter “wife of Jacob Deter d. 7-27-1845 ae 77y 9m 23d” was buried in the Stoner Cemetery in Adams Township, Darke County, Ohio, where several of her grandchildren were later buried. A footstone on her grave reads “F. M.”.

An abstract of the will of Elizabeth “Jr.” was provided to me Dec 2004 by LaVeryl Andrews, a lookup volunteer in Darke County. This provides a definitive identification of their children still living in 1850. That there were others who died young can be surmised from the census records above, and from the observation that only four children born over 27 years would be very unusual. A copy of the will has been ordered 5/5/2005.

The eight children of Peter III and Elizabeth (Dieter/Deter) Mock/Mack:

1 Unnamed Mack, daughter, born 1804/1810.

2 Simon Mack, son, born 1811/1813 in Maryland. Simon was married 1838 in Ohio to Sarah Wagaman {b 1819/1822 in Ohio, died Jul 1865 and was buried in Stoner Cemetery, Adams Township, Darke County, Ohio}.

Simon is documented as the son of Elizabeth Mack in her Will written 19 Jun 1850, the same year he and Sarah were censused four households away from Elizabeth and his father Peter, in Wayne Township, Darke County, Ohio. His first appearance in the state was on the 1835 “census”, actually more of a tax list, in Newberry Township, Miami County, a few miles to the east. He doesn’t appear in the 1840 census, so it’s difficult to know exactly when he moved across the county line.

In that 1850 census [Series: M432 Roll: 674 Page: 305], Simon was recorded as a Mill Right aged 38 with land valued at $400, he born in Maryland, and Sarah and the four children in Ohio. Sarah was 28 that year and the children were Nancy, 11, Fielding, 9, Malinda, 7, and Jackson, 5. In 1860 Simon was censused in Wayne Township again as a Mill Right with wife Sarah and children Malinda, Jackson and Matilda. His age was indexed as 50, but the first digit of the census entry itself was smeared and completely illegible. Sarah’s age that year was recorded as 40, Malinda 16, Jackson 15 and Matilda 6.

After Sarah died in 1865, Simon went west. In 1870 he was living alone, aged 57, in Chaska, Carver Township, Montana. His occupation there was given as Millwright Carpenter. In 1880 he was in Halls Prairie, Coos County, Oregon, aged 68, and listed as a farmer living alone.

Wally Garchow pointed out to me [Personal Communication, 2004] that Elizabeth Boyer, who died 1852 age 77, was buried in Stoner Cemetery between Fealder and Sarah Elleanoer Mack, children of Simon and Sarah, according to the inscriptions of the Stoner Cemetery in Darke County [Anita Short, op. cit.] :

Boyer, Elizabeth w/o D. Boyer d. 5-1-1852 ae 77y 8m 8d

This Elizabeth, born 23 Aug 1774, was of the generation of the grandparents of Simon’s wife Sarah Wagaman, born 1819/22, and might give a clue to Sarah’s lineage.

In 1820 in Miami county there were two Boyer families, Jacob and Lewis, censused adjacent to each other in Spring Creek Twp., 28 more families in Ohio overall, none in Darke County.

The seven children of Simon and Sarah (Wagaman) Mack:

i Nancy, daughter, born 3 May 1839 in Webster, Darke, Ohio, died 18 Feb 1901 in Norway, Coos, Oregon, and was buried 20 Feb 1901 in Norway Cemetery, Coos County, Oregon. Nancy was married 18 Apr 1858 in Webster, Darke County, Ohio to John R. Radabaugh {b 15 Feb 1828 in Webster, died 3 Apr 1898 in Norway and was buried in Norway Cemetery}.

The particulars of this family are from a web page entitled Descendants of James Radabaugh, Courtesy of Frazier Farmstead Museum [http://museum.bmi.net/Other They carried the descendants down to the fourth generation.

Nancy and John had gone west before 1880, as they were censused in Coos County, Oregon, that year:

Nancy’s family had a tendency to vary their given names. Andrew Jackson was listed as J. Andrew in his parents home in 1880, and John Henry was censused as Henry J. in his own home in 1900. Even Nancy’s daughter-in-law, Henry’s wife, was Laura M. in 1900 and May L. in 1910.

The son born in 1863 was listed as Simon Albert in the Radabaugh web pages cited above, but censused as 17 year old Samuel A. in 1880. I don’t know which name was “correct”.

The six children of John R. and Nancy (Mack) Radabaugh:

1 Joseph Hester, son, born 29 Jan 1859 in Mercer County, Ohio, and died 18 Apr 1938 in Lane, Oregon. Joseph and Henry were censused two pages apart in Coos County in 1900 (Heritage Quest having indexed him as Radabough):

Joseph was censused 1910 in the same precinct [Series: T624 Roll: 1280 Page: 166], but the census was so poorly copied that it was difficult to read all of the names. He and his wife were 51 and 38 years of age, they had daughters (possibly Merle, Hazel and Flossie) 17, 15 and 6 years old, a son Herman J., 4 years old, and a son Jackson a few months old.

In 1920 [Series: T625 Roll: 1493 Page: 195], the couple were 60 and 47 years old, a daughter Hazel was 23, Flossie A. was 16, Herman J. 14, and Reuben S. 10. How Jackson was transformed into Reuben S. I don’t know.

2 Andrew Jackson, son, born 9 Dec 1860 in Webster, died 14 Sep 1943 in Coos County, Oregon, and was buried in Norway Cemetery, Norway, Coos, Oregon. In 1910, Andrew Jackson was censused in the adjacent household to his brother Henry:

The brother living with Henry and their mother must be either Andrew Jackson or Simon Albert, but the census reproduction is so bad that I cannot read the name or dates and age.

Jacob was censused 1850 in Wayne Township, Darke County, as a farmer with land valued at $1200. Son Noah was censused as 1/12 years of age. Leah was censused 1860 in Newberry Township, Miami County, in the home of John and Mary A. Derr (indexed as Deer). It is reasonable that these were her parents, especially since Leah named her daughter Mary Ann. Her mother’s age might have been 57, but the entry was nearly illegible.

I take the year of birth and death for Jacob from the cemetery reading. Bloomer Cemetery is also known as Friedens Lutheran Church Cemetery, Newberry Twp., SW Corner of Versailles Rd & Bradford-Bloomer Rd. Graveyard is beside the Friedens Lutheran Church in Newberry Twp. Friedens translates from German to English as Peace or tranquility. The burial and church records were lost iin the 1920’s. Ref Cemetery Inscriptions of Newberry Twp. Cemetery is active and well cared for by the Church. It is in the NW Quarter of Sect. 3.

The four children of Jacob and Leah (Derr) Mack:

i Noah † child, born 7 Apr 1850 in Maryland, died 19 Jun 1851 and was buried in Bloomer Cem. Noah was censused as 1/12 year of age on the 1850 census taken the fifth of September. Thus he was born July or August of that year. However, from his gravestone reading,

MACK, Noah, s/o J. & L., d. 19 June 1851, age 1y 2m 12d

he was born 7 Apr 1850.

ii Mary Ann, daughter, born 1851/1852 in Ohio.

iii John P., son, born 1852/1854 in Ohio. John P. married Amanda J. ____ {b 1862 in Ohio, died in 1956 and was buried in New Harris Creek}.

John was censused 1900 in Wayne Twp., Darke County as J. P. Mack. His childrens’ names were very difficult to read, and some of those shown here are almost complete guesses.

An Ancestral File in the Family History Library provides all of the vital statistics on this family that are reported here. That source includes Elizabeth’s pedigree back several generations on both sides of her family.

The six children of Alexander and Elizabeth (Moul) Wagaman:

1 Ida, daughter, born 25 Feb 1874 in Wayne, Darke, Ohio, and died 20 Aug 1927.

2 Susie Barbara, daughter, born 1876 in Wayne and died in 1880.

3 Eliza Ann, daughter, born 26 Oct 1880 in Wayne.

4 Sarah, daughter, born 12 Nov 1883 in Wayne.

5 Grover, son, born 15 Dec 1885 in Wayne.

6 Ella Elizabeth, daughter, born 21 Nov 1890 in Wayne and died 4 Nov 1943.

ii John C.?, son, born 1852/1853 in Ohio.

6 Unnamed Mack, son, born 1825/1830.

7 Levi Mack, son, born 1828/1829 in Maryland, died in 1893 and was buried in Oakland Cemetery. Levi married Lucinda ____ {b 1836/1837 in Pennsylvania, died in 1902 and was buried in Oakland Cemetery}.

Levi was censused 1850 at age 21 in his brother Jacob’s home, with their parents living there also.

In 1960 he was married with a two year old son, but the census taker had a difficult time with his surname and with his wife’s given name:

Levi and Lucinda were censused 1880 in Wayne Township with their three children living at home. Lucinda as well as both of her parents were born in Pennsylvania. Three children born over a sixteen year span seems unusual, but the 1900 census of Lucinda as a widow records that she had borne three children, with only Nancy still alive at that time.

Since both sons were at home in 1880, and both had died before the 1900 census, neither was censused in his own home. However, the census of Sarah Mack, widow and farmer, is almost surely that of a daughter-in-law of Levi and Lucinda. There’s no direct way to tell which son was her husband, but from Jennie’s birth we can surmise that Sarah was married in 1882 or Jan 1883, at which time William Mack would have been at most 16 years old. Therefore I conclude that Sarah was the wife of Lewis.

The Miami Valley Genealogical Index, which lists Levi’s burial in some (unidentified) cemetery in Darke County, gives “ca 1823” for his birth, determined from his gravestone. Probably an age at death, but not specified.

The four children of Levi and Lucinda (____) Mack:

i Lewis J., son, born 1855/1856 in Ohio. Lewis J. married Sarah ____ {b Jun 1863 in Ohio, dtr of Levi and Lucinda (____) Mack}.

Since both sons of Levi and Lucinda were at home in 1880, and neither could be located in the 1900 census, the following Wayne Township 1900 census of Sarah Mack, widow born 1862/63, is almost surely that of a daughter-in-law of Levi and Lucinda, but it’s not certain which son was her husband. However, if all dates are correct, William would have been only 16 years old when Sarah must have married, about 1882, so I’m assuming that she was the wife of Lewis.

The three children of Lewis J. and Sarah (____) Mack:

1 Jennie, daughter, born Oct 1883 in Ohio. Jennie Mack, reportedly born about 1890 in Versailles, Wayne Township, Darke County, married in 1917 an Alzona Sherrick, born in the same town [IGI submitted record]. I’m accepting this record for Jennie, although the date of birth is considerably in error (a not uncommon occurrence for submitted IGI marriage records).

Alzona and Jennie were censused 1920 in Wayne Township living adjacent to Alzona’s father Jacob, all born in Ohio of Ohio born parents. From the ten year gap between the first two daughter, one could surmise that there were other children born who died young.

According to an online report, Levi Mack, was buried in Abbotsville Cemetery, Van Buren Township, Darke County, Ohio, on 3 Oct 1963 at age 78 [www.calweb.com/~wally/darke/burials/query004.htm]. That is precisely the right age for, and is thus assumed to be the record of, this Levi.

3 Ruth, daughter, born Aug 1892.

ii William H., son, born 1865/1866 in Ohio.

iii Nancy, daughter, born 1871 in Darke County, Ohio. Nancy’s birth year is from the 1900 census of her mother, and the year and place come also from an extracted IGI record citing Records of birth, marriage and death, 1817-1911, Ohio, Probate Court (Darke County).
