      Simon Moredock, retired farmer and stock grower, born 
in Jefferson Township, Greene County, Penna, is a son of 
George Moredock and Priscilla Anderson Moredock. His 
grandfather, James Anderson, was of Irish descent. Mr 
Moredock's father, who was a farmer, had a family of twelve 
children, ten of whom grew to maturity. 
  
      Simon Moredock is the fourth child, was reared in 
Jefferson Township and received his education in the old 
stone school house of the district. Early in life he 
engaged in the distillery business which he followed for ten 
years. He then bought a farm and has since devoted himself 
wholly to agricultural pursuits. 
  
      In 1848 he was united in marriage with Mary J 
Reynolds, daughter of John Reynolds and Jane Kincaid 
Reynolds, who were of Welsh and Dutch descent. Mr and Mrs 
Moredock have six children: Sarah Moredock, wife of B 
Sharpnack; George W Moredock; M A Moredock; Rebecca J 
Moredock; Daniel Moredock; and Minerva Moredock. Mr Moredock 
is a Democrat; and both are members of the Cumberland
