However, the "Jr." should refer to his son rather than to him; The 1 male under 16 would be newborn son Peter Jr., and the 5 females could be 2nd wife Alice and Peter's 4 daughters.  Peter, lives within 1 house of Henery, Gaspar, and James listed sequentially; then seven households of different surnames, followed by Jeremiah and Henry listed sequentially.
 It is not possible, given the vague ages provided by the 1790 census, to detail how these families are related.

 <br>'''PETER HOCKENBERRY'''
-<br> Peter Hockenberry was born ~1718 in Germany, and was possibly from Hachenburg, southeast of Bonn. He presumably married in Germany.  He arrived in New Jersey with his first wife and five children in 1750, possibly Chambers, NJ. From there they proceded to the western limits of settlement, just beyond the Susquehanna River. They settled in what is now Fannett Twp., Franklin Co. PA about 1750, in the northern tip of the county, north of Chambersburg. Peter and his sons purchased large tracts of land, built three mills, and their homes. Peter's first wife, name unknown, died sometime after 1760 when her sixth child Jeremiah was born.

Peter's first wife, name unknown, died sometime after 1760 when her sixth child Jeremiah was born.
 <br>Documents petitioning for arms to defend against Tories and Indians attacking the settlement were signed by the Hockenberry men.  Peter and his four sons, Henry, John, James and Jeremiah all served in the Revolutionary War, as did Henry's sons, Henry Jr. and Casper. Jeremiah, Henry Jr. and Casper would have been but teen-agers at the time. Peter served several tours of duty in the Cumberland County Militia, 1st & 6th Battalions under Capt. Thomas Askey. After the war, the Hockenberrys resumed life in Fannet Twp., Franklin Co. Pa.  <br>Peter remarried by 1790 to Alice, surname unknown, and had five more children. Alice may have been scarcely older than Peter's oldest children.  About twenty years later, Peter died  and is burried in Fannet Twp., Franklin Co. PA.  His will was probated in Feb. 1811.  The will names Alice and all of Peter's children.  Alice lived another thirty to forty years, residing first with her son Samuel in Franklin and Huntingdon counties, and then living next to some of her son James' children in Perry county.  She died between 1840 and 1850.
