 ===Source notes===
+* The 1690 birth date of Herbert Hockenbury, given in the Renick research (Source 1 above) is unlikely, as his listed grandchildren were born in the 1770's, thus suggesting his children were born in the late 1740's-1750's.  This birthdate would make Herbert age ~50 when the younger children were born.    If there is a Herbert Hockenbury of this birth date, he is possibly not the person described on this page.

 There are more than one Harmon Hockenbury/Hockenberry of similar age in the record.

 THE HOCKENBERRY NAME & EARLY IMMIGRANTS
-<br>The name Hockenberry is one of several Anglicized forms of Hachenburger (such as Hachenberger, Hockenbury, Hillberry, etc.)   In earlier times when individuals did not have set surnames, immigrants were often distinguished from others in their new location by a name reflecting their place of origin. thus, anyone from Hachenburg could be know as a Hachenburger.  This appelation was probably applied more than once, and to individuals not necessarily related.

-<br> Records indicate several early immigrants to America with variants of this name; their relationship, if any, is not yet established.  Some degree of relationship between Herbert Hockenbury (b. ~1690) and [[Peter Hockenberry]] (b. ~1718) is indicated by the fact that Herbert's son Harmon Hockenbury left Sussex Co. NJ in 1799 and went to live among the [[Peter Hockenberry]] clan in Franklin Co., PA until 1833.  Many of the descendants of Harmon remain in this area today.  He returned to Sussex Co., NJ at some point and was buried in LaFayette Nj, near Newton NJ.
