There is a great deal on the Heckendorn/Heckathorn line. Johann Jacob Heckathorn was born July 22, 1744 in Retschweiller, Alsace, France. His parents were Reinhard Jacob Heckendorn born June 9, 1715 in Memmelshoffen, Alsace, France and Anna Barbara June/Young. Barbara was born Dec. 22, 1715 in Retschweiller. They had five children, Reinhard Jacob of 1715 was married first to Margaretha Colman and they had four children. Your Jacob of 1744 married on Nov. 14, 1771 to Anna Maria Banzin. Jacob and Anna Maria had the following children. Barbara, born 1772 and she married Noah Potts. Jacob Heckathorn Jr., born 1773 and married Elizabeth Sadler. Daniel Heckathorn, born 1774. Katharine Heckathorn, born 1776 and married Jacob Best. John Heckathorn, born July 2, 1777. Henry Heckathorn, born 1778. You say Jacob had twelve children, I only have record of six and they were born in Frederick, Md. like you say. There are a lot of people researching this line so you should get lots of answers. If not, let me know as I have more.
