Hezekiah Mock
Hezekiah Mock, farmer, Jeffersonville, is a son of John and Mary (Homey) Mock, whose history appears elsewhere.
Our subject was married to Miss Huldy Chaney, September 12, 1850; one child, Cassius, is the result of this union. He and his wife are members of the Christian Church. He has a farm of two hundred and seventy-eight acres, on which they live, situated four miles northwest of Jeffersonville, on South Charleston pike, which is a part of the old home farm, where his father bought five hundred and nine acres for one thousand dollars, then almost an unbroken forest.
In 1832, the father planted an apple tree on this farm, and grafted it the next spring. This tree still bears a large crop of fine fall pippen apples every fruit year; it measures seven feet nine inches in circumference, its branches measure forty-three feet, and is twenty-seven feet in height. This is a reputable, and one of this county's worthy families.
