Research notes from:
Myrtle Baker - Records available to me lead me to believe that George Mock Sr's wife's first name was Elizabeth. Micajah Phillips bought many items after George Mock Sr's. death. These were bought in May 1792. His wife is named Elizabeth. (meaning George's wife??) George Mock Jr. leased land he inherited from his father to them "unter Elizabeth's death". George Mock Jr. sold this land to his brother Benjamin 18 Mar 1806 indicating that Elizabeth had probably died. The probable death of Elizabeth leads me to speculate that she was George Mock Sr.'s widow. When Micajah Philip died, his will names his widow as Sally this 2 Feb 1812.

From Rose Miller 12/1/02 Re: George Mock, Sr. "First, let me say that I am not descended from George Mock, Sr. My interest is in his wife, Elizabeth.
Elizabeth Mock is the (dau of Richard Gregory of Berks Co, PA). Richard's will dated 1765 mentions his dau, Elizabeth, wife of George Mack. Since a number of other Gregory siblings migrated to SC via NC, it can be presumed that George and Elizabeth Mack/Mock followed. I noticed in your charts that it may have been presumed that Elizabeth might have been a Rambo. Maybe this will help you clear your record. I have no further information on George Mock, except to say that he and Elizabeth were probably married in Berks Co., PA before 1765. Richard Gregory has been placed in Berks Co. as early as 1719 near Oley. When he died he lived near Harlem and his homestead is still in existence today.
His will is dated 18 Feb 1765. He names his wife, Margaretha (tentatively identified as Bixby); his sons, John, David, Richard, Andrew, Jacob, George & Christian. Also, "I do give unto my daughters, Mary wife of John Jones the sum of 10 pounds; to Elizabeth the wife of George Mack the sum of 10 pounds; to Anna the wife of Joseph Betty the sum of 10 pounds; to Margaretha the wife of Jacob Fudge the sum of 20 pounds ……"George, Christian, Mary, Elizabeth & Margaretha all left PA and went to NC to the Mecklenburg Co. area, as well as his daughter Hannah who married George Bast/Bost. George, Jacob Foige (now Fudge) and George Mack (now Mock) moved on down to Edgefield Co., SC.
Information on Jacob Fudge can be found in the Edgefield Co. records. - Rose Miller [email protected]

George Sr.'s will is in the Edgefield Courthouse. He has been traced back to N.C. with proof. However, I think he was also in Virginia (maybe even PA). There is a George Mock listed in Lunenburg Co., VA in 1752 (Tithe list). Many names that appeared in Edgefield S.C. were also found in that area, leading me to believe this is "my" George Mock.

Pat Smith - George Mock Sr.'s Will - In addition to John, George Jr., Benjamin & Abigail, beneficiaries in George's will were Joseph Prince, Calep Niblet & Peggy Niblet and the heirs of Jessie. Joseph Prince is mentioned as Abigail's heir which indicates that Abigail was deceased in 1790 and was probably married to Joseph Prince.

A Reuben Rambo was also mentioned in the will but relationship is not indicated. A Lawrence Rambo, Sr. d. 16 Jun 1782 in Edgefield Dist. He gave 5 shillings to oldest son, Reuben Rambo, b. 1747 in PA. In 1790 Census Reuben Rambo lived in North Part of Orangeburg, SC and there were 8 (?) males over age 16. Two males under 16 and 3 females. By 1800, the family consisted of Reuben, over age 45, his wife 26-44, one son & 2 dau. 16-25 and one son 10-15. Lawrence Rambo was in Orange Co., NC & in Cumberland Co NC at the same time as George Sr. Rambo came to SC and then moved to GA across the line from Edgefield, not too far away. There was also a Rambo or two in the Lowndes Co., AL census along with Benjamin Mock and all the other Mocks and Rambo's. Was Lawrence Rambo the father, or maybe brother to George Sr's. wife?

George Mock Jr. - death at 95 yrs. from Mississippi Free Trader Vol. VIII, #51, Natchez, Wed. Aug 9, 1843. George was a Revolutionary War Soldier, once taken prisoner by the British but made his escape. He appears in Adams Co., MS Real & Personal Tax Roll in 1808 owning 400 acres, situated on Sandy creek.

Mr. Chas. E. Ratcliffe of Routland (Colonial Home) in Natchez, MS has in his possession a deed for land which Geo. bought signed by Pres. James Monroe, dated 1806. Therefore, he left SC soon after selling his land to his brother (and probably after his mother's death. According to an agreement found in Edgefield Courthouse, George Mock rented a plantation situated next to his brother John, to Micajah & Elizabeth Phillips DURING HER LIFETIME at the rate of 2 shillings per year to be paid annually. This was 70 acres. It would seem that his mother remarried since this appears to be the land his father left to him. Agreement dated 1792. Is wife of George Mock, Sr. then named Elizabeth?

1810 - on Tax List for Natches Dist. 1817 - Tax rolls in Adams Co. 1820 - Franklin Co. MS Census. 1823, 1831, 1835, 1837 - Franklin Co. MS tax rolls. He wrote his will in 1834 and no further records have been found after 1837.
