1.5 Ann Mock m. Lodewick Boyakin (Boykin)

1.6 Sary (Sarah) m. Philip Howell

1.7 Charlotte Mock b. abt. 1804; m. George H. Maner; co-executor for father’s will.

From Danny R. Mock:
"... The will of Andrew Mock, Sr. dated 7/5/1815 names his oldest son Benjiman and his daughter Charlotte as co-executors with Charlotte receiving the 149 acres that he had owned since 1/4/1796. This land acquisition is specifically mentioned in the will. all other assets were to be divided among "all my children". One interesting fact is that I have never run across anything that mentioned his wife with the exception of the land grant he received in Jefferson county. That grant still did not refer to her by name.

However, the only male head of household members in the first surviving census of 1820 were George Mock and Andrew Mock, Jr. in Screven County. There were some transactions held at Jacksonboro, GA in Janury 1821 where George Mock was acting on behalf of the estate of Andrew Mock and as guardian for Charlotte Mock. It is likely since Benjiman Mock is not listed anywhere in the census for the State of GA in 1820, that he must have died." ⁴

1.3.5.3 George Andrew Mock b. 1849; d. July 14, 1886 at Savannah Hospital with tuberculosis. Laurel Grove Cemetery.

From an essay by Richard H. Mock :

One of Lodowick E. Mock's sons robbed the steamboat warehouse near Poor Robin circa 1870. The circumstances peculiar to George Andrew Mock seem to indicated that he was the son. Ralph C. Mock adroitly summarizes the result of the event, "The judge told him to get out of town or go to the slammer." The felon chose the former option and went to the Savannah area, perhaps Isle of Hope. Frank and Eddie were probably born in their father's new home town. There is no knowledge of any other children. The boys became "River Rats". George died of tuberculosis July 14, 1886, and was buried in Laurel Grove Cemetery in Savannah.

George Andrew Mock

During 1927 or 1928 when they was a drought upstate, the Savannah River shrank into shallows. Frank and Eddie, who had become skilled outdoorsmen, hunted the alligators that became easy prey for those that could afford the shotgun shells needed for clean kills and possessed the courage and skills to harvest these beasts. Many a hand or foot has been lost to a dead gator and many a mutilated gator has been tossed back into the river or otherwise disposed of after the victor was unable to properly skin his conquest.

Frank came to own a home and a boat, the George Guion, at Isle of Hope. It was Frank's vacant home that the widowed Bradford J. Mock moved himself and his children into in 1926. The house was located next to to the Hucks' home place.
