The family now known as "Mock" has a name that has been spelled many ways: Mauk; Mauck; Mack; Moak; Maag; Mook; Maug; Mocks; Mox; Maux; Motz; Monk; Moncks; Mauch; and others. The majority of the Mocks came from Germany. Most were Lutherans, while some were Mennonites, Moravians, and German Baptists (or 'Dunkards'.). Pennsylvania, and especially Bedford County, had a very large number of Mocks decide to settle there, although they did settle in other areas such as the Carolinas, Georgia, Maryland, New York and Virginia.
