I should have stated that we have been researching the Rockey Family and have found that my grandfather, John Hoorland Rockey was born in Cumberland County, PA migrated to Miami County at age twenty-one and married Addie Coon 2-15-1888. They had four children, one son lived only six months and seven days, the other children were:  David E. Rockey, Russell Coon Rockey (my father) and Sarah Hazel (Rockey Zartman. We are still searching for my gg grandparents.  My great grandparents are William Rockey, born 5-19-1814 in Cumberland County, Dickinson Township, PA died 1-13-1879 and Hannah (maiden name unknown) born 4-10-1818, died 4-16-1875.  They are buried in the Mt. Zion Lutheran Cemetery in Dickinson Twp.  Their children in the 1850 census were:  Jane A. age 11, George age 9, Samuel age 7, Rebecca E. age 5, James, just born only a few months.  Living in the household was John Rockey 55  (William's father?) and Samuel Rockey 38 (William's brother?).  My grandfather, John Hoorland Rockey their youngest was born until 8-17-1860.  He was left an orphan at age 15. A paid genealogy search by the Cumberland Historic Society suggested that the following may be my grandparents:  a Joseph Rockey, born 1783 who married a Catharine (maiden name unknown) born 1792 or a John Rockey, born 1795, wife unknown; or a George Rockey who died 1846 and his widow was Elizabeth. Does anyone have any information that can be of  help in finding my real gg grandparents? Marijean (Rockey) Brown
