Hello, I've been reading all the talk about the Hockenberrys and have another puzzle for you. 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!

Jackie, I would be interested in all of the other children, if you have them. This is my line also (HOCKENBERRY). I started looking at my FTM and now I'm confused too. I guess maybe we all have way too many relatives--LOL Laurie in Butler PA ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie" <jackie_fry99@yahoo.com> To: <PABUTLER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 01, 2003 8:53 PM Subject: [PABUTLER-L] the Hockenberry conspiracy > > Hello, > > I've been reading all the talk about the Hockenberrys and have another puzzle for you.
