Biography

The first record of Frederick and Motlena was when they purchased land in 1763 in Frederick Co., VA. This land is located along Opequon Creek several miles northwest of Berryville, on the border of current day Frederick Co. and Clarke Co. Frederick was born before 1733, possibly before coming to America, and died in 1779 in Frederick Co., VA. His will identified his children as Frederick, Mathias, Michael and Barbara.

Frederick Jr. died in Frederick Co., VA about 1785 and left one daughter, who moved on to Clark Co., KY with her husband. Mathias died in Frederick Co., VA in 1802 and his descendant's moved on to the area of Muskingum Co., OH. Michael died in 1830 and his descendants also moved on to the area of Muskingum Co., OH, and Hampshire Co., in what would later become WV. Descendant's of this family appears to have retained the surname spelling of Mauk.
