Hi:We may or may not be related.I have been searching for almost 30 years for my ancestors on the MOAK line.I have seen the name spelled Moak, Moke, Mook and Moake.My great great grandfather Nicholas Moak was born in Schoharie Co., NY in 1815, the son of Jacob and Maria Mook.Nicholas died in 1886 in St. Clair Co, MI.According to his obituary, he had a brother Peter who lived in White Pigeon, MI, Phillip supposed to be in Illinois, John still in NY and Jacob deceased.The mother died when Nicholas was 10 years old and he was sent to live with relatives.We cannot locate any of the siblings, nor can we find any record of the parents (Jacob and Maria) other than for the birth of the children.We do not know Maria's maiden name.There are many, many Jacobs, but we can't pinpoint which one is ours.does any of this fit into your family, or have you run across any of these people in your research?
