Subject: Winfield "Scott" Mock b.1852 Erie, PA

Hello All,

I was very excited to discover your group on the Net. This is my first
email to this group. I hope I can provide some information some of you may
be missing, and that someone here will be able to help me as well. Much of
my family's genealogy records disappeared at the time of my grandmother's
death (many years ago). I am hoping to reassemble these records and fill in
the gaps.

My great-great-great-grandfather was Winfield "Scott" Mock of Erie, PA (b.
1852). He is the earliest Mock-relative I can absolutely/directly trace
back-to, from myself. He was named after Winfield Scott (General in
Mex-American War). He went by the name of Scott throughout his entire life.
I am hoping he will be a link that someone else here can connect to.

W. "Scott" Mock had 2 sons (in Erie PA). The first was William "Harry" Mock
(who always went by Harry, m. Catherine who went by "Kit", had one daughter
Bonita Mock Brown b. 1905), and Thomas "Oscar" Mock (who always went by
Oscar.... an odd family tradition?)

T. "Oscar" Mock married Aura Houpt/Haupt (m. feb 19, 1902, Aura: b. April 8,
1884, 7th child of Henry H. Haupt (b. May 29, 1852, d. Mar 25, 1911,
Somerset PA) & Mary E. Hoover (b. Oct 27, 1858, d. Feb 6, 1905) - if others
are interested in these Haupt's of PA, I have more details/names/dates back
through Valentine Haupt b. 1745, d. March 16, 1814, emmigrated from Germany
1754, elder in old Lehigh Lutheran Church, Berks/Northampton Counties, PA).

Thomas Henry Mock (actually went by "Thomas", b. 1903) was T. "Oscar" Mock &
Aura Haupt's only child. They left Erie PA, and moved to California about
1918. (Thomas Henry was my grandfather).

As far as origins in this country, we are descendants of a Peter Mock. My
grandmother's research had an under-age Peter landing in Baltimore (from
Germany) in 1754 with his three older brothers (the three brothers were old
enough to be listed on the ship's passenger list, Peter was not). "Our"
Peter shows up in the 1790 US census, Somerset County, Pennsylvania. This
is the extent to which we can (reliably?) remember what my grandmother had
documented. I have noticed a reference to a Peter Mock arriving in Maryland
in 1752 in a recent email to the list, could this be the same Peter Mock?

Please let me know if anyone out there can provide further links to 'my'
Winfield Scott Mock (or to Peter Mock?). I am looking forward to
corresponding with you all.

Thank You,
Cheryl Mock
