Notes concerning Benjamin F. Mouck as told by his son Thomas Henry Mouck:
Benjamin Franklin Mouck's parents died when he was a small boy. They lived in West Virginia and the children, a large family, were taken by different people to raise. When he was a young man he left West Virginia and went to Missouri and Kansas. He enlisted in the Confederate Army and never did go back to West Virginia to find his family.

He died April 6, 1910 near Gravette, in Benton County, Ark. and was buried in Union Cemetery in McDonald County, MO. He married Mary Nelson Cox in 1868 near McCune, Kansas. They had 3 children: Susan, Lula and Thomas Henry. Mary Nelson Cox died and in 1878 he married Lucinda Smith. Three children were born to them: Lydia Ann, Laura, and Georgia and three children died in infancy. Lucinda died in 1918 in the home of her step-son Thomas Henry Mouck where she had been living the past three years of her life.

Benjamin appears in the 1860 Federal Census in Cedar County, Missouri, Benton Township listed as Benjamin Mock. He appears in the 1870 Federal Census (as Benjamin Mock) also in Benton Township, Missouri with with Mary and John and Susan. He appears in the 1875 Kansas Census, Crawford County, Osage Township again with the surname Mock with wife Mary, and children: John, Susie, Mary and Thomas H. In the 1880 Federal Census again as B. F. Mock in South Benton Township, Cedar County, Missouri with wife Lucinda, and children Susan E., Mary L. and Thomas H. In the 1900 Fed. Census he is listed as Benjamin F. Mouck in Cyclone Township, McDonald County, Missouri with wife Lucinda, and children Susan E., Liddie A., Laura E. and Georgia A.

From Fred Mouck to Linnie Jane Burks, Memorial Day, 1980:

The Missouri Home Guards duty was supposed to guard families from either army. General Sterling Price was put in command. He had been a Govenor of Missouri at one time.
Some federal troops were sent to Jefferson Barracks in St. Louis and the present Govenor didn't like it so he commanded all the Home Guard into the Confederate Army. This group was later attached to the Tennessee Volunteer Calvary. Ben was probably in Sarcoxie, Missouri at the time and ended up in this group.
Ben was on a scouting mission near Siloam Springs, Arkansas, and missed the battle at Pea Ridge, Arkansas. He may have been in the battle between Gravette and Maysville, Arkansas before the Pea Ridge Battle.
He was in soow this branch of the family came to the spelling Mouck:

His father and all his siblings spelled it Mauck but Benjamin never learned to read or write. A clerk listed him as B. F. Mock on his enlistment papers and that's the way he's listed on several censuses. Then his half-brother from Virginia visited him and told him the name was spelled with a "u". Thereafter, his name and that of his children is spelled "Mouck".
