===Source notes===
* Joseph Ferree notes in "The McCandless & Related Families" that Elizabeth McCandless, daughter of Tailor Billy, married a Joseph Hockenberry but does not give the parentage of Joseph Hockenberry. Horace & Edith Renick, in "Peter Hockenberry & Descendants of His Son John", list a Joseph Hockenberry, (son of [[John Hockenberry]] and [[Hannah Kelly]]) as married to Elizabeth Unknown. Their source is not given, and may well be the 1850 census of a household of Joseph Hockenberry age 65, wife Elizabeth age 57, and two children. See [[John Hockenberry]]. Without a will or other specific primary source, we cannot with certainty say that John Hockenberry is the father-in-law of Elizabeth McCandless. The relative number of Hockenberry families in the township & area is not known; Joseph Hockenberry could be a name shared by more than one cousin...

 =====Immigrant from Ireland 1794=====
 <br style="clear:both;"/>
+David was the middle brother in the first set of three brothers, nephews of [[John McCandless]] and Jane Carothers, who immigrated in 1796, from Ireland to Butler Co. PA.  David settled in Franklin Twp., on a tract of land later known as the Henry Albert farm.   He had married in Ireland to Martha, surname not recorded.  At least two of his children were born before he immigrated. Ferree (source 2) suggests he may have returned to Ireland to marry.
