I do have some info on the line but I only have it because my great-great grandmother Mary Jane Lepley married a Joseph Hockenberry after her first husband Henry Lepley died in the Civil War. Here's the rundown of my Joseph and his line going back to Peter Hockenberry, I hope this helps but you can e-mail me off list for the full boat. > > Peter Hockenberry married Anna Catherina and they had 8 children, one of those being John Hockenberry. > > John married Hannah Kelley and they had 8 children one of those being Casper Hockenberry and another being Jane. > > Casper married Margaret Shaffer and they had 8 children one of those being Joseph Hockenberry. > > Joseph married FIRST Elizabeth Kennedy and they had 6 children. He married SECOND Mary Jane Lepley and they had no children BUT in the 1880 census I found him with Mary Jane and her daughter from her first marriage Lydia A. as well as a niece Anna E. Shields. > > Any of this making sense to anyone out there. Anyone? > > Okay, now for another stab at sorting out those Hockenberrys (or Hockenbury). My great grandfather Joseph C. Cowden born 11 Aug 1867 in Portersville, Butler, PA. died 3 Nov 1930 in Minerva, Stark, Ohio. According to his death certificate his mother's maiden name was HOCKENBERRY. His father's name is unknown but I can assume it was Cowden. I would love to find out who HIS parents are. > > Thanks in advance, > > Jackie Fry > > > > --------------------------------- > Do you Yahoo!? > Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
