Newton Co., IN Biography


Newton County, Washington Township.  From A History of Warren, Benton, 
Jasper & Newton Counties, 1883.

   DANIEL MOCK was born January 14, 1824.  He went to school and
worked on the farm until, in 1852, he married Rachel Kenoyer, daughter
of Jacob Kenoyer, who was one of the first settlers of Newton County.
The children born to them were John H. (deceased), James H. and Rosella.
   He came to Washington township in 1839, purchased 280 acres of land,
and became a general farmer, raising some stock.  His stock he took to
winter at Beaver Lake, where he contracted a severe cold, which caused
his death.  To his wife and children he left his farm, on which they
still reside, the son managing it.  
   Our subject was a Democrat in politics, at one time holding the
office of Justice of the Peace, at another that of Constable.
