| 1 | Manuscript: Peter Hockenberry and Descendants of his Son, John Hockenberry by Edith and Horace Renick, 1975, gives a detailed genealogical record of John Hockenberry and his father, Peter Hockenberry. John Hockenberry is listed as having been born around 1741, probably in Germany. He died around 1839, aged in his late 90's, and was probably buried near Coaltown, northwest of West Sunbury, Butler Co. PA. "Old tombstones are too smooth to read." He was married to Hannah Kelly. He came to American in about 1750, with his parents, and lived in Fannett Twp., Franklin Co., PA probably until his marriage. He fought several tours of duty during the Revolutionary War. At the time of his marriage he moved to Tobogne Twp. in Cumberland Co., PA (became Perry Co. in 1830), and probably operated his father's stave mill in Tobogne Twp. He was one of the signers of a petition, signed 18 May, 1778, requesting arms to defend themselves against Tories and Indians. He obtained 400 acres of land in Cumberland Co. on 3 Feb 1796.(PA Archives, 3rd Series, Vol. 25) In 1803, the John Hockenberry family (excluding his married son John, Jr.) moved to a spot a few miles south of Slippery Rock, Butler Co., PA. He moved again to Cherry Twp., Butler Co., just after 1830 and died there before 1840. His wife, Hannah, died soon after the 1803 move to Butler Co. Their children are listed as: John Hockenberry, Jr.; Casper Hockenberry, born 1785 and married to Margaret Shaffer; Joseph Hockenberry, born 1786 and married to Elizabeth unknown; Elizabeth Hockenberry, married James Buchanan; Jane Hockenberry, married Moses McCandless; Annie Hockenberry, married and died in Ohio; Ellen Hockenberry, married William Graham; and Jonathon Hockenberry, born 1795 and married Sarah Freeman.
