Surnames: Heck, Wible, Boyles, Gamble, Shoffer Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/BNi.2ACIB/335 Message Board Post: I have a gggggrand father named John Heck who was born in 1786 in PA, he married Sarah Wible in Westmoreland County of Pennsylvania Aug 30, 1814. The only Heck listed in Westmorland at that time is Philip Heck, I know thru other sources that his father's name was Philip so I am assuming this was John's father. Phillip Heck is listed in 1800 Census in Berks County ( He also could be listed as Heckert in Berks County, still doing investigation) then the 1810 census in Westmoreland and it looks like John is living with him (ages fits). In 1820 Westmoreland Census there is a Philip Heck living with what I assume is his wife. There is also listed John Hach who fit's the age of my gggggrandfather. He is listed under John Heck in the 1830 census. There is no Philip Heck listed in 1830 Census. I am assuming Philip died. In 1833 John and Sarah moved to Harrison County Ohio had a couple of more kids and then moved onto Rock Island Illinois. They are listed in the 1850, 60 and 70 Census Rock Island, ILL and in the 1880 Census Sarah is still living. There is also a neice of hers named Jenny Heck who was living with her in 1880 and she was born in Pennsylvania. The only Wible I see in the 1810 PA Westmoreland Census that has a daugher around the age of Sarah is George Wible. Sarah was born March 22 1795. They had 13 children, Three of which were born in Pennsylvania. Rachel Heck, Philip Heck and William Heck. The other children are James Heck, Josiah Heck and my gggggrandmother Elizabeth Heck Gamble, Mary Ann Heck Boyles, Sarah Heck Gamble, George Heck and Margaret Heck Shoffer.

Hi: Looking for anyone related to Rudolf Heck who married a Katie Garbos. They both came through Ellis Island Island 1904-1906. Their Children were Stephen and Helen. Stephen I believed passed away late 60's early 70's. Helen Heck Garrabrant passed away last year. I believe that the only child was from the marriage of Stephen Heck, wife could be a Victoria Heck. Anyone connecting to this family, I would love to hear from you. Thanks, Estelle Boca Raton, Florida

It confirms what I felt after looking at the 1820 census and the tax lists online. I will see if I can find a copy of the book you mention. This is my first wife's family and would like to get as much info as possible for our kids. Again thanks.

I do not know who wrote this message (see below), but hopefully you'll identify yourself! There are some of us who, like myself, are descended from Daniel Heck and his wife Elizabeth(maiden name unknown, but possibly the Elizabeth McLean mentioned below)who went into and stayed in Three Springs, Huntingdon Co., PA....and we'd like to settle this matter once and for all! I have done extensive research on the above Daniel and Elizabeth, my g-g-g-grandparents, and never found a shred of evidence confirming Elizabeth's maiden name or Daniel's past prior to entering Three Springs from MD. Huntingdon Co. does not have Daniel listed as a Rev. War veteran. There were two Daniel Hecks on the Strassburger Passenger Lists who were probably cousins...one of them probably went to Berks Co., the other to MD. These Hecks have been traced through church records back to Alsace,France and further back to Bern, Switzerland. This information I received was from research done by a Jack Heck of Florida, and I believe that he is no longer living. If anybody subscribing on this list or working on this line can help sort this out, I'd love to hear from you!

Okay, in response to Travis' email I thought I'd try to stir the pot with a query. I'm researching my husband's Heck line and have been able to trace back to Johann Yost Heck b. ca. 1698 in Germany d. ca. 1768 in Berks County, Pennsylvania, USA. All I know about him is that he was married to Eva Marie UNKNOWN and they had at least 2 children: Anna Catherine b. ca. 1723 and Johann Jacob b. ca. 1727. Both children were born in Germany. Anna married Johan George Wilhelm Gussman and Johann Jacob married Judith Albright (Albrecht). My husband is decended through Johann Jacob Heck and Judith Albright. My sister-in-law is planning a trip to Germany this year and it would be great if I could point her to a specific place in Germany for research. Is anyone else reasearching this line?
