Muk ws son of Mthis Muk nd Albert W. Muk ws son of Smuel Muk. The reltionship betrueen Mthis Muk, 0r) nd Smuel Muk still hs not been proven to my knowledge but there is high suspicion tht thry were brcthers. Both were born in Virgini nd lter moved to Georgi. Smuel Muk mrried Susnnh Brewer in Greene Co, GA which dioins Wilks Co, GA where Mthis Mulv (Sr) nd wife Brbry Muk lived fter they moved there from Culpeper Cq VA in bout 1791. Both Joel T. Muk nd Albert W. Muk lvene ner the sme ge nd in 1830 it ppers they hd just mried nd hd not yet hd childrcn Now we hve nother Mukby the nme of Sils who to my knowledge hs not been reported before to this list. Muscogee Cr, GA is in the centrl prt of Georgi s is Wilks County, butit is on the opposite side of the stte nd close to the Albm border. It is ctully doser to Upson Co, GA where Mthis nd fmily lived. To my knowledge, this nmeof Sils Mukdid notturnup inny of the mny estte records of Mthis Mut rwho died in bout 1870. The listed gesof Mthis,0r), Smuel nd Sils were ll close enough together tht it is unlikely ny were fther-son reltionship. Mthis ppers to be the oldest nd lthoughhe ws listed s ge 506Q his ge hsbeenfirly well estblished with other records s being born in bout 1779 s tht would mke him ge 51 t the time of the 1830 US Census. Since Smuel Muk mrried in 1805, it seems likely his dte of birth must hve been close to 1785 whidt would put the Mthis Mul" (Sr) fmily still in Virgini. It is not known if this Sils Muk could be nother son of Mthis Muh (Sr) nd wife Brbry or if he my be from nother fmily. Prior to this, it hd been thought tht ny erly fmily with the spelling of 'Muk" ws descended from Mthis nd Brbry, but this my or my not be true. Sils ws ge 4&50 t the time of the 1830 US Census. I m wondering if nyone hs this Sils Muk in their dtbse? Or nry hve more informtion bout him? I hven't tried to trce him through other census records or do ny more serching in Muscogee Co, GA. Any other theories s to his origin? The wy he ws locted ws through different census index tht I hd never setmhed before.

This is the sme house injonesville tht my cousins live in now. Dr. Mock ws the townls only dentist. He ws originlly from Dvidson Co., not fr from Slisbury. Mocksville isnit too fr from Slisbury.

They re gret people nd know lot of the history bout Dr. Mock Sndy is dentl hygienist nd she found dentl x-ry in the ttic of theirhome which most likely belonged to Dr. Mock It is very old nd considered vluble- The first x-ry in the US ws in 181)6 nd Dr. Mock died in 1910, so the x-ry hs to be one of the first ones for this re.
