NOTES
1). Co. F, 5th Reg., Ind. Cav. on 20 Feb 1864 at Greenwood, IN. bobspu.ged Andrew W. Mock and Susan Catherine Mock were cousins Source Elizabeth Ann Gilchrist Jun 1998 Andrew s military pension file 60126 adds the following information. Andrew W. Mock enlisted in Co. F, 5th Reg., Ind. Cav. on 20 Feb 1864 at Greenwood, IN. This would have been 2 weeks after the birth of his and Susan Catherine s third child. He was mustered in 9 MAY 1864 at Indianapolis, IN for 3 years. At the time of muster, he was paid a $60 bounty. Three months later, on 31 JUL 1864, he was listed as missing in action taken prisoner near Macon, GA. The time and place undoubtedly means he was with Sherman on the march to the sea. At that time it was noted that he was due another $120 bounty payment. The file states that he died in Florence, SC on 6 NOV 1864. His active file was closed on 15 JUN 1865. We know from the pension file that Susan wasawarded a pension based on his service and that it was stopped when she married Francis Wright. Later, after Francis death, she would re apply. While looking around the internet , it was found that there was a National Cemetery in Florence, SC. I called and asked for information. I was informed that there was a confederate prison there called the Florence Stockades and that all prisoners who died there were buried in the trenches which is now a part of the National Cemetery. Other information gathered was that during and at the end of the Civil War, several National Cemeteries were established for burial and re interment of the Union dead. Confederates were allowed burial, but not until 1906 would Congress allow stones to be placed on the confederate graves. Of course in the trench areas, it was impossible to know who was where so most of those are unmarked.

2).  bobspu.ged  m1. Andrew Mock m2. Andrew W. Mock m3. Francis Edward Wright  Andrew Mock was the Uncle of Susan Catherine Mock.  Andrew W. Mock and Susan Catherine Mock were cousins   BIO  SUSAN WRIGHT DIES AT SOUTHPORT Came to Indiana fron Tennessee in covered wagon  six children survive  Greenwood, Nov. 3, 1931 Mrs. Susan Wright, age ninety, died on Monday at the home of her son, S.E. Wright, Southport.  She had been ill about four weeks. Born in Johnson County, Tennessee,on Christmas Day, 1841, Mrs. Wright moved to Johnson County, Indiana, with her parents, John A. Mock and Margaret Widener Mock, in 1849.  They traveled to Indiana in a covered wagon and it required twenty one days to make the trip. She was married to Andrew Mock, a cousin, in 1859.  Mr. Mock was captured during Sherman  smarch to the sea, after joining the Union army, and died in Camp Florence, S.C., in the last year of the war.  She was then married to Francis Edward Wright in 1868.  Mr. Wright died in 1906. Until 1918 Mrs. Wright had lived in Johnson County.  She thenmoved to the home of her son at Southport.  She was a member of the Greenwood Christian Church. Survivors are six children   S.E. Wright, Southport  Joseph A. Wright, Indianapolis  Charles Wright, Acton  Mrs. J.T. Grubbs and Mrs. L.M. Brown of Greenwoodand Mrs. E.H. Griffith of Rocklane, Ind., and two children by her former marriage, Mrs. Martha Harting and John Mock, both of Elwood, and a brother, Thomas C. Mock of Elwood. Funeral services will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o  clock from the Greenwood Christian church.  Burial will be in the Greenwood Cemetery.  After the death of her first husband, Andrew, Susan applied for a pension from the government. This continued until she married Francis E. Wright in 1869  per the pension files .  When Francis died in 1906,Susan reapplied to try to get Andrew  s pension reinstated.  Neighbors William Brewer, David Foster, Dalton Wilson and Eugene Robison all testified for Susan.  All swore that they never knew that Francis E. Wright had U.S. military service. Susan swore tothat same claim.  She stated that Francis died intestate and was not insured and that Francis never served in the army or navy of the United States.  This is the same Francis whose military files show him deserting from the confederate army shortly before the Civil War ended.  It was true that Francis never served in the United States army or navy so the sworn statements were essentially true.  Mary Olive Griffith Winzenread, grand daughter of Francis, reports that she remembers her mother, Alice WrightGriffith, telling that her father said that he had to swim the Yadkin River to get away.  This makes it clear that Susan and the family knew about his desertion.  Susan was successful in regaining her widow  s pension because another application was in herfiles.  This one was applied for 26 Sep 1916 and asked for an increase in her pension under a new Pension Act by Congress passed on 16 Sep 1916.  Source  Elizabeth  Ann  Gilchrist Jun 1998
