Can someone fill in the gaps between Leonard Mockh & Andrew Moak, if this info is correct?

( Michael Von Moack (also spelled Mock, Moeck and Mogk) was the Burgermeister of Ravensburg, Germany , a decendant of Leonard Moack. Ducal coronet was added to coat-of-arms to indicate nobility by Kaiser Ferdinand II at Regensburg, Germany February 18, 1623. The Moack family during this time lived in the Palatinate (Wurtemberg-Baded-Baden) one village, Mockmuhl (Moak's Mill) carried the family name. Several members of the family, using the Mockmuhl name married into the Hohenlohe family). Nearly one million Wurttemberggers were killed during the 30 years war. Many Wurttemberggers, including the nobility and the Duke of Wurttemberg,escaped to Switzerland . During that time the Palatinate was fought over and variously controlled by the Holy Roman Empire, France, and Spain)

(Andrew Moak and family left Switzerland, arrived on the British ship St. Andrew (Captain Stedman) at Charleston, SC between 1737-1741. He served as an indentured servant at Fountain Bleu Plantation until 1745 to pay for passage from Europe for himself, his wife and three children. Then was given a land grant of 250 acres at Saxe-Gotha (near the site of the Old Congaree fort, just across the Congaree River from present day Columbia, SC) by the Royal Governor's Council of South Carolina at Charleston on December 7, 1745. Andrew's land grant (50 acres per person ) was next to Jacob Theiler. Additionally, Andrew bought a strip of land from Jacob Theiler to provide access to the Congaree River (aka Broad River).
Andrew Moak and his wife had 3 children- 2 boys and 1 girl
The oldest son was Jacob Moak, the other son and daughter's name are unknown.
