Julie, There was a Hornung Brewery on Allegheny Ave in Philadelphia in 1900. I believe the fellow's name was Jacob Hornung...as far as I know he wasn't related to my great grandfather who lived a few blocks away on same street. I believe Jacob died in the influenza eqidemic in the early 1900's.

I've tried message boards, and no one matches mine. :(. If they say Horning and Bavaria I've probably emailed them, lol I wished yours matched mine! that would have been awesome. the only things I can think of are one of the Margaret's death cert, or marriage (the mother may have remarried) or John's marriage (haven't been able to find one) and his death - I found 2 possibles and have asked for copies. the only other thing I can think of is Germans to America, and my local library doesn't have it (I'll look around) but I don't know how much that will help since I don't know when they got to America. before 1840 is all I know for sure. thank you!!! ps on the plus side, Jacob ended up being a brewmaster in Kentucky/Indiana area(Louisville/New Albany) and had his own pub for a few years before he died!!! julie Marie Van Laeys <njtransplant@cox.net> wrote: Julie & Rosemarie, My Hornings/Hornungs arrived in NY in 1844 aboard the ship Rose (spelling Horning) they ended up in Pottsville PA, Margaretha Pauline Hornung (23 yrs) married within a couple of weeks after her arrival and John A Hornung married in 1846 to Margaretha's sister-in-law (Margaret Tersea Reinhardt). Other's arrived one being about 1850 (a brother) shown in the 1850 census but not legible. John died in 1862 yet another brother Michael arrived after John's death (about 1862) along with his wife and three children...all settled in Pottsville. The spelling thru-out the census was not consistent but I was familiar with their residence when living in Philadelphia and found them spelled (Horning). I've traced these Hornungs to Gartenbach which I believe is the same as Großenluder part of Fulda. There is a message board on rootsweb for Hornung/Horning perhaps that would be a place to inquire if you haven't already.
