Folkert Smock is shown in the 1784, 1793 and 1810 Tax Lists for Bridgewater Twp., Somerset Co., New Jersey. Any other information on him would be greatly appreciated. What is known follows: Leonard Smock b. 1790-1794 in NJ married Mary Yaw whos father was John Yaw who came from Germany, settled in Somerset Co. He was referenced in a Somerset Co. Historical Quarterly, as being a customer of the Pluckemin Store records of between 1768 & 1775. Leonard Smock b 1730 (Folkert's father) was in the Bedminster Twp. records bet. 1755 & 1760. He later moved to Fayette Co., PA. John Yaw married Elizabeth Teeple. Leonard Smock married Ann Folkerson. Members of the Smock, Teeple, Folkerson families and John Yaw were customers of the Pluckemin Store bet. 1768 & 1775. John Yaw later appears in Fairfield Co., Ohio, with his daughter Mary and her husband Leonard Smock b. 1790-1794. they have one son John Smock. Leonard died before 1838 and Mary married James Chambers. John Smock married his first cousin Lena (Laney) Yaw, daughter of William Yaw, Mary Yaw's brother. Due to family relationships, locations and time line, it is believed Leonard Smock b. 1790-1794 is the son of Folkert Smock. Just need some help in documentation to prove this connection.
Thanks, Gene
