1. Joseph Alexander Mauck, son of Mauck, was born about 1822 in VA and died about 1877 in VA about age 55.

The first record of Joseph was when his marriage bond was posted by a Neverson Smith 30 Jan 1843 in Warren Co., VA. Mary's father, Elsea Conner, gave his consent in writing. The marriage bond spells Joseph's last name as Mock.

Joseph married Mary Francis Conner 5 May 1843 in Warren Co., VA, The minister was T.D. Herndon. Their marriage appears in the Warren Co., VA marriage records. The spelling of Joseph's surname appears as Mauck.

Traverse D. Herndon was a minister with the Long Branch Baptist Church in Fauquier Co., VA (@1 & @2). He traveled a circuit that included Front Royal. Traverse was one of the organizing elders of the Front Royal Missionary Baptist Church in April 1839. It is possible that Joseph and Mary were married at this church.

The marriage of Mary's parent's, Elsea Conner and Eliza Saffell, appears in the Fauquier Co. marriage records 20 Oct 1824, which, along with census data, provided Mary's estimated date of birth as being after 1824.

The death certificate of George Robert Mauck, son of Joseph and Mary, indicates he was born in Warren Co., VA in 1846.

On 16 Nov 1848 in Warren Co., VA Joseph A. Mock witnessed the marriage bond for John Williams and Maranda Price. John was the son of Presley Williams, Maranda was the daughter of Jonathan Price. Also witnessing the bond was Washington Mills. John and Maranda were married the same day by Alfred G. Chenowith, a Methodist minister (@2).

Joseph and Mary next appear in the 1850 census of the Ashby District, Fauquier Co., VA near Mary's family. Joseph was employed as a cooper. In this and every other census Joseph's last name is spelled Mock.

The Fauquier Co., VA marriage record of Fannie Mauck, daughter of Joseph and Mary, indicates she was born in Fauquier Co., VA in 1854.

Joseph and Mary's children begin appearing in the Warren Co. Birth records in January 1856 and continue through 1860. The spelling of the surname in all of the birth and death records was Mauck.

Joseph and Mary appear in the 1860 census of Linden, Warren Co., VA. Joseph again is employed as a cooper.

During the Civil War Joseph served with the Confederacy in the VA 146th Militia Co. H, 1st Regt, 7th Brigade. He enlisted 11 Feb 1861 in Front Royal, Warren Co., VA and was listed AWOL 16 Oct 1861. Mary died between 1861 and 1863 and this may have been the reason Joseph went AWOL.

In July 1865 Joseph appears in the birth register of Warren Co., VA as the father of Mary Helen Mauck. Mary's mother is identified as Ann. In the 1870 census of Centreville, Fairfax Co., VA Joseph and Ann appear with several of Joseph and Mary's children, and several of Joseph and Ann's children. Joseph was employed as a farmer.

Joseph appears in the personal property tax lists of Fairfax Co., VA yearly from 1870 through 1876. In the tax list of 1874 he is listed as living near Bull Run. The lists show that he owned horses, cattle, hogs and a wagon or carriage. Examining the 1870 and 1880 census neighbors of Joseph and his wife Ann, and comparing them to the people listed on an 1878 map of Fairfax Co., it appears Joseph lived several miles south of Centreville above Bull Run, and Ann in 1880 lived approx. two miles northeast of Centerville.

In June 1879 John Mohler was appointed administrator for Joseph A. Mock dec'd. Sureties were posted by Thomas Moore(@7). According to the 1870 census John Mohler was a farmer who resided in Fairfax Co.

A series of court records from 1879 through 1882 show the administration of Joseph's estate being continued. Finally, on 16 Nov 1882 the case was dismissed "with leave to Mr. Meredith to re-instate should he think proper to do so" (@8). It is not known which Meredith in Fairfax Co. this was, or his relationship with Joseph, if there was a relationship other than being appointed to some official function having to do with Joseph's estate. Since Joseph apparently owned no land and only personal property, by 1882 his estate could have been literally consumed by the family.

In 1880 Ann appears in the census of Centreville, Fairfax Co., VA as a widow with 8 children, the youngest being 4 years old.

Ann appears with her parents, Dempsey Jackson and Elizabeth Rogers, in the 1850 census of Middletown, Frederick Co., VA. The census provided her birthdate.

The Fairfax Co., VA death certificate of Joseph and Ann's son Charles Minor Mock indicates Ann's maiden name of Jackson and that she was born in White Post, Clarke Co., VA. Ann's parents are identified as Dempsie Jackson and "Rodgers" in the Fairfax Co., VA death certificate of Joseph's son George, who married Ann's sister Mary Catherine Jackson.

In 1873 Demsey Jackson resided in a home with a shop and house used as a school, near Stone Bridge, Clarke Co., VA (@3). Demsey rented this home from a William Pagett.

The death certificates of Joseph's children George and Charles indicate their father was born in Clarke Co., VA. Clarke Co., VA was formed from Frederick Co., VA in 1836 (Joseph was abt. 14 yrs old at the time).

The birth information of Joseph, Mary, their children, and Ann and Joseph's children was obtained from the census if it was not provided by the Warren Co., VA birth or death register.

The Manassas Cemetery Find A Grave Memorial for Minor Mock, son of Joseph & Ann, indicates an obituary that includes the following: "Mr. Mock is survived by his widow, who was a Miss Grabill; one son, five years old; and two daughters aged three years and seventeen months, respectively. He is also survived by his mother, Mrs. William Grubbs, of Richmond, and by five brothers; Al Mock, of the United States Army; Edward Mock, of Vienna, Fairfax county; Dempsey Mock, of Chicago; Jas. Mock, of Westville, Ohio; Robert Mock, of near Manassas, and by three sisters; Mrs. Nannie Harrison, of Centreville, Fairfax county; Mrs. Ada Guyman, of Leesburg, Loudoun county, and Mrs. Mollie Taylor, of near Manassas."

Ann Virginia Jackson Mock remarried to William E. Grubbs in Richmond, VA in 1898 (@9). Her death certificate in Augusta Co., VA provided her birth date, death, and burial information.

A yDNA sample submitted by a descendant of Joseph and a yDNA sample submitted by a descendant of Robert Mauck indicate they were very likely brothers. Refer to the discussion at the bottom of this page for further information and who there parents may have been.

George enlisted in the confederacy where he served as a private in Company F 27th Regiment Virginia Cavalry.

He was held at Harper's Ferry from 03 Oct thru 17 Oct 1864. Rather than enjoy the comforts of a Civil War POW camp, he switched sides and joined U.S. service 17 Oct 1864 at Pt.

yDNA - Joseph's brother Robert and their possible parents

The parents of Joseph have not been identified. yDNA testing indicates the following in relation to the other Mock/Mauk/Mauck families in Northern Virginia. This information is provided as an investigative lead to help those seeking Joseph and Robert's parents.

The Northern Virginia Families whose yDNA indicates they are not related to Joseph:

The Northern Virginia Families for which no yDNA samples have yet to be submitted: One Northern Virginia Family whose yDNA indicates "tightly" related to Joseph: Two Northern Virginia Mauck/Mauk groups whose yDNA indicates they were related to one another, Joseph, and Robert:

The first group lived in the area of Luray, VA in what is now Page Co. Separate and multiple yDNA samples have been submitted by the descendants of Rudolph Mauck Jr., Mathias, and Daniel Mauck/Mauk/Mock who are believed to be the sons of Rudolph Mauck. Rudolph Mauck married Mildred and moved to the area of what was then Frederick Co., VA, by 1736 then lived in the area of Luray 1736-1750. Rudolph died there in 1750. No record has been found identifying his sons.

The second group lived on Opequon Creek in the area between Stephenson, Frederick Co., VA and Berryville, in what is now Clarke Co., VA. Separate and multiple yDNA samples have been submitted by various descendants of Frederick Mauk who married Mary Magdalene (Motlena) and settled in this area by 1763.There have been no known connections to Rudolph Mauck but the yDNA submissions indicate they are related as well as being related to Joseph and Robert.

The children of several of the grandsons of Frederick and Motlena's have yet to be identified. This group has since been the focus of my research.

Frederick and Motlena had three sons.

Ohio Mauks

yDNA samples submitted by descendants of the following Ohio families indicate they are also related to Joseph, Robert, Rudolph, and Frederick. I suspect these three were possibly sons of Frederick Mauk (and Martha), son of Mathias (and Catherine), son of Frederick and Motlena.
