ROCKWELL - ROCKHOLD I am trying to establish the relationship of Nathaniel as father of (a) John W. ROCKHOLD (birthplace unk & John W.s mother’s name) and (b) Joseph ROCKHOLD birthdate and place, apparently born in Huntingdon Co. Also hoping to establish birthplace and date for John W. Also trying to establish other children in Nathaniel’s family. Willing to exchange information with other researchers. My direct line goes through John W to Nathaniel. Any suggestions from anyone about sources to look up, info on how to find lists of ME churches of the time, and possible sources to fill in the blanks in the below information would be very welcome. Some of the little we know: First tax of list of 1788 of Huntingdon Co. Pennsylvania, p 124, lists Nathaniel ROCKWELLl, as head of household, with 3 males under 15, and three females including heads of families. Nathaniel ROCKHOLD (same person) is buried in Ohio, died 1800 or 1806. He died on his son Joseph’s farm there. The family seems to have used Rockwell, and then Rockhold as their last name, from time to time. There is a belief that this family is descended from Deacon William ROCKWELL who came to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1620 on the ship “Mary and John”. In Collections of the Historical Society of PA, by the Historical Society of PA, published in 1853, it states Israel Cryder remembering Nathaniel ROCKWELL as one of the first settlers of Canoe Valley. Today, this location would be about 5 miles east of Altoona PA. Joseph ROCKHOLD is listed in the 1790 Census record, Shirley Twp, Huntingdon PA. John ROCKHOLD listed in 1790 Census record for Baltimore Co. MD. (May or may not be this family). The family removed from Pennsylvania about 1797 to Ohio. The family were often self described as members of ME churches. Family helped start a college for women in OH in early 1800s. Nathaniel married Ann Mackell (second wife) in Ohio, Highland County, 1811, per probate court records. Hopewell, Huntingdon, PA mentions Nathaniel, in "Africa's History of Huntingdon Co"., page 291. He is also mentioned Pennsylvania Archives, Third Series, Vol. XXII, page 357.
