The first record of Peter in Virginia was in a survey of 4600 aces called the North Mountain Tract on 5 Nov 1734, for Joist Hite. This land was in what later would become Frederick Co., VA. Peter's marriage to Julianna Rheinhart 30 Apr 1739 appears in the marriage records of the Reverend John Casper Stoever as having occurred in Opequon, Orange Co., VA. This area later also became part of Frederick Co. Peter was the first person to be naturalized in Frederick Co., VA.

Peter eventually settled near Tom's Brook, VA. Peter and Julianna had four sons: Frederick, Andrew, Henry, and John. After Peter's death in 1771, Andrew and Henry moved to Sullivan Co., TN, John moved to Harrison Co., IN and Frederick moved to Southwestern VA.

The descendant's of Peter's son John are well documented in the excellent book by Mr. William Wolph, The Descendant's of Peter Mauck. I have some data on this family, but because the family left the Shenandoah Valley within a generation I have not done in depth research on Peter's descendants.

The first record of Rudolph in Virginia appears in the records of the Lutheran Minister John Casper Stoever when Stoever baptized Rudolph's daughter Elizabeth at Opequon 02 May 1736. Opequon later became part of Frederick Co., VA. Rudolph was born before 1714, and appears in the records of Lancaster Co., PA in 1730. Rudolph purchased 400 acres on Mill Run in Augusta Co., VA 17 Jan 1749. This area later became Frederick Co., then Dunmore Co. in 1772, was renamed Shenandoah in 1778, and was included in Page Co. when it was formed in December 1831. It was part of Orange Co., prior to the formation of Augusta Co.

Rudolph died in 1750. His son Rudolph Mauck Jr. eventually moved to Rockingham Co., VA before 1782, then to Bourbon Co., KY about 1787 and changed the spelling of their surname to Mock. Rudolph Jr. owned land on Mill Run in what later became Page Co., VA, adjacent Daniel Mauck. Daniel is believed to have been a son of Rudolph and lived at Hamburg, where he died in 1803. Some of his descendants moved on to Gallia Co., OH and others remain in the Shenandoah Valley to this day. Daniel's descendants retained the surname spelling of Mauck, with one exception, whose descendants currently spell their surname as Mouck. Living adjacent Daniel Mauck was Henry Mauck, who is also believed to have been a son of Rudolph Mauck Sr. Henry died intestate in 1787 in what would later become Page Co. His probate identified 5 daughters but no sons.

Mathias appears in land records of Frederick Co., VA in 1764 along with Daniel Mauck. It is believed he was possibly another undocumented son of Rudolph Mauck Sr. Mathias was born before 1752. By 1772 Mathias appears in deeds where he owned land along the Robinson River at Quaker Run in Culpeper Co., VA, near where Daniel Mauck also purchased land in Culpeper Co. about the same time. Mathias and his wife Barbary moved to Wilkes Co., GA 1790-1792, where Mathias died about 1805 or 1806. Mathias's son, Mathias Mauk Jr., moved on to Upson Co., GA by 1830, where he died in 1870. Other suspected children of Mathias include Samuel Mauk of Sumter Co., GA, Randolph Mock of Mercer and Boyle Co., KY, Elizabeth who married George Glore and settled in Wilkes Co., GA then moved on to Cobb Co., GA, and Rachel Mauk who appears to have died without marrying before 1811. With the exception of Randolph, it appears the descendants of Mathias retained the surname spelling of Mauk.

The first record of Frederick and Motlena was when they purchased land in 1763 in Frederick Co., VA. This land is located along Opequon Creek several miles northwest of Berryville, on the border of current day Frederick Co. and Clarke Co. Frederick was born before 1733, possibly before coming to America, and died in 1779 in Frederick Co., VA. His will identified his children as Frederick, Mathias, Michael and Barbara.

Frederick Jr. died in Frederick Co., VA about 1785 and left one daughter, who moved on to Clark Co., KY with her husband. Mathias died in Frederick Co., VA in 1802 and his descendant's moved on to the area of Muskingum Co., OH. Michael died in 1830 and his descendants also moved on to the area of Muskingum Co., OH, and Hampshire Co., in what would later become WV. Descendant's of this family appears to have retained the surname spelling of Mauk.

George and Sophia moved to the area of Middletown, Frederick Co., VA about 1775 and died there about 1808. He was born before 1743, before his arrival in America. George came to VA from Lancaster Co., PA. George's father is believed to have been Henry Mauck, who arrived in America at Philadelphia in 1749 aboard the ship Ann.

George's children are identified by his will as: Christopher, who died without children about 1809; George, who moved on to Montgomery Co., VA for several years, then died in Harrison Co., IN in 1837; Daniel, who moved on to Fairfield Co., OH, where he died by 1830; Catherina who married Jeremiah Eberly and whose descendants remain in the Shenandoah Valley to this day, Susannah who married Philip Setzer and settled in Warren Co., VA, dying before 1850; Christina who married Jacob Harmon and moved to Montgomery Co., VA where she died in 1839. Of interest is the descendants of Daniel and George Jr. retained the surname spelling of Muck.

Gottlieb's marriage to Anna Zieglar is the first record found of him. They married in Reamstown, PA 22 Nov 1778. The marriage record identified Gottlieb's father as Gottlieb, and Anna's father as Conrad Zieglar. Gottlieb is found in records in PA until 1790. He first appears in Virginia in the personal property tax lists of Shenandoah Co. in 1794, and continues appearing in the tax lists yearly through 1800. After 1800 it is not known what happened to Gottlieb or Anna. This family's genealogy has been one of the most challenging, as it has been compiled from scraps of information from dozens of different sources. It is believed that this family lived near Columbia Furnace in Shenandoah Co.

Gottlieb and Anna's children appear frequently in the records of the Shenandoah Valley. These children included: George Mauck who married Elizabeth Mourer 10 Dec 1803, Elizabeth Mauk who married Joel Berry 16 Aug 1800, Nancy Mauk who married Elijah Berry 8 Jun 1806, John Mock who married Elizabeth Helsley 28 Apr 1812, and Margaret Mauck who married Jacob Hutchenson 10 Jun 1822. All of these marriages occurred in Shenandoah Co., VA. Several of these families have descendants that are in the Shenandoah Valley to this day, in the area of Edinburg and Front Royal.

The first record of David and Mary was when they were married in Fauquier Co., VA in 1795. They lived in Prince William Co. until about 1802, when they moved to part of Shenandoah Co. that would later become Page Co. David's parents are not known, but because of numerous close ties to the sons of the above Daniel Mauck, it is believed he may possibly have descended from the above Mathias Mauk. David was born in 1772 and died in Page Co. in 1842.
