It is my humble opinion that I believe I've cracked the code to sorting out the Haycock/Haycocks/Haykok/Haycook brethren of the era before 1830. All it took was getting snowed in and my computer being on the blink, which forced me to review the files the hard way --- manually and with no marshmallows in my hot chocolate! I have been able to link at least 14 pre-1830 families to two brothers - Daniel (born before 1757) and Thomas Haycock (born about 1743) of the Pompton area. Once I figured out that they were brothers and not father/son, the puzzle began to take shape very fast. With the help of some previously unknown death certificate info that a kind member sent to me about two months ago and some VR info that I collected months ago and never bothered to post, the later generations began to fall into place. It is not done yet, there are still several who are not atttached yet. However once I start looking at them as closely as I did the others I think they, too, will slide into place. If ANYONE is researching this line, or has any daughters who married into it, or sons who married the daughters (they are sparse in the pre-1815 years) - Please give me a nudge. This goes double if you and I haven't compared notes before. Primary area of residence for these families were Morris and Passaic Counties. A few were in Sussex, Bergen, and Essex Counties Some of the Haycocks are not related, but that's OK --- I can tell you if they are or not. Pressing onward ---- I need another good snowstorm I think.
