Leona, your father was an Ipock most likely from the eastern part of NC; specifically Carteret and Craven counties i.e., Morehead City, New Bern, Bridgeton. The Ipocks are few in number since this is a Cherokee indian name mixed with some German descent. My grandmother was harriet Dera Ipock from Morehead City and her family came from Bridgeton. The indians lived primarily in the above mentioned areas and were Cherokee and mixed some with Tuscarora and Algonquin. The Ipock records are found in the Carteret County Register of Deeds offfice, Beaufort, NC, Craven County Register of Deeds, New Bern and Pamilico County Register of Deeds offices. If you give me your father's full name, date of birth, place of birth, date of death (if deceased) a possible social security number, I can help you find him. I am most likely related to you. There were some Ipocks who lived in TX, but most settled in eastern NC, some in Ohio and midwestern states. I will also need to know your full birth name, your mother's full maiden name, date and place of thier marriage. I am a historian and also a finder of missing persons.
