This is relavent to both the Clinard and Mock families
I have had two people ask me if I know anything about "the family Bible".
This would be the Clinard "Dutch" Bible that Philip gave to his daughter
Phebe Clinard Mock in his will of 1802.
I will answer the question with this statement...I **THINK** I know what
may have happened to it.
In his 1802 will Philip Clinard gave the Dutch Bible to his daugher Phebe
Clinard Mock, wife of Dewalt Mock. Their son Daniel married Harriet
Harris (no date) and they had a daughter Phebe. In Dewalt's will of
1796/8, he instructs Daniel to keep his mother. They all moved to Greene
Co., Ohio, before 1806. (note: I do not know yet when Phebe Clinard Mock
dies. I have seen various dates. I have also seen statements to the effect
that she marries Asa Oglesbee, but she is the WRONG Phebe.)
Phebe Mock, daughter of Daniel and Harriet Harris Mock, married Asa
Oglesbee 28 March 1815. in Greene Co, Ohio. Asa and Phebe Mock Oglesbee
moved to Pleasant Twp, Madison Co in probably spring 1822, after Asa's
father Aaron purchased land there in Nov. 1821. They built a log cabin and
sometime "later" it burned down, we don't know the year, and they
returned to Greene Co., Ohio. There has been a persistent story in the family
that the family Bible was lost in the fire. We had always assumed it was
the Oglesbee or possibly the Mock Bible, but after all my research I have
decided it ***MAY WELL HAVE BEEN*** the Clinard Bible.
I DO NOT KNOW THIS FOR SURE, but it seems plausible. Some other family
"stories" have turned out to be partially correct, and this may be one of
them. I am trying to find other Oglesbee descendants who may be able to
help with the Bible story, but for now this is how it stands.
IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE that the Clinard Bible was given to the other Phebe
Mock, daughter of John, who married Abraham Blessing in Greene Co., Ohio
in 1824. OR that what was left of the burned Bible was given to one of
Asa's and Phebe's children and I just haven't found it. OR that it was
given to some one of Phebe's Clinard Mock's other children/grandchildren.
My Grandfather Oglesbee was born in 1876 and the story of the burned Bible
is one he passed down from his grandfather (b1819 d1910) and it was always
referred to as "the family Bible".
The possibilities are "endless".

I would appreciate hearing from anyone interested in discussing and
sharing information on Phebe Clinard who married Dewalt Mock in Davie Co NC
in (probably) mid 1770s.
I am descended from Dewalt's and Phebe's son Daniel Mock and his daughter
Phebe Mock who married Asa Oglesbee in Greene Co. Ohio in 1815. I also
have some information on Dewalt's and Phebe's other three children, John,
Mary and Catherine, all of whom moved to Greene Co, Ohio.
Thank you,
