Notes:
The first record of Rudolph appears on 4 Aug 1730 in Conestoque, Lancaster Co., PA when Rudy was found guilty of assault and battery and fined one shilling (@1). Rudolph's last name is spelled Mauck, Mauk, and Mauks in this record.
Rudolph appears in the records of the Lutheran Minister John Casper Stoever when Stoever baptized Rudolph's daughter Elizabeth at Opequon 02 May 1736 (@2). The last name in this record is spelled Maag. Opequon referred to the area of current day Frederick Co., VA that borders Opequon Creek. It is possible Rudolph traveled to this area to have his daughter baptized, versus living there. Rudy and Mildred's births are estimated as being at least 17 years before the baptism of Elizabeth, however, the above court record in Lancaster Co., PA would indicate Rudy was probably born before 1714.
On 20 Jan 1744 Rudia Moak appears in the probate inventory of George Everts (@3). On 21 Apr 1746 Rudolph Maag appears as an appraiser for the estate of Abraham Strickler dec'd, in Augusta Co., VA (@4).
Rudolph purchased 400 acres on Mill Run in Augusta Co., VA 17 Jan 1749 (@5). This area later became Frederick Co., then Dunmore Co. in 1772 and was renamed Shenandoah in 1778. It was part of Orange Co., prior to the formation of Augusta Co.
On 22 Aug 1749 Nicholas Long, son of Philip Long, had 400 acres surveyed. The chain carriers were Jacob Rodecap and Rudy Mock (@7). This may have been Rudolph Sr., or it could have been Rudolph Jr.
Rudolph appears as an adjacent property owner to Jacob Roadcap who lived adjacent Mill Run, 16 Sep 1749 (@5). Rudolph Moick appears as an adjacent property owner to Lodowick Selser, son of Mathias Selser, in Augusta Co. 8 Aug 1750. Rudolph's property is described as being on "Massanuttin Run" (@5).
On 27 Nov 1750 Paul Lung [Long] was appointed administrator of Rudy Mauck, with Frederick Frailey and Peter Scholl sureties (@6). This established Rudolph's date of death. Rudolph's inventory was conducted by Mathias Selzer, Daniel Stover and Jacob Burnet 7 Mar 1751 (@6).
On 30 Mar 1755 Casper Taylor, assignee of Lewis Pence, assignee of Rudy Moick, assignee of Mildred Moick surveyed 200 acres on the South fork of the Shenandoah River by Mill Run adjacent Rudy Moick, Jacob Rodecap, Matthias Selser. The chain carriers were Rudy Moick and Paul Long. This deed states that Mildred was widowed, and had remarried and moved to Carolina (@7).
