Valorie,
I have recently received information from one of my aunts on my Mocaby side of the family. She has found evidence where the Mocaby name was corrupted from the original spelling of Mockbee. This family line is in Illinois and Tennessee.Apparently the Mockbee's were slave owners in Tennessee and were not benevolent owners as they had a slave riot which ended violently.It is believed that the family originated in Scotland and immigrated to the US in the early 1600's. I would be interested in hearing if we have any connections.
