NOT A DIRECT ANCESTOR

Herbert Hockenbury is not in my direct ancestry. He is possibly a brother or cousin of
Peter Hockenberry, b. (~1718)

THE HOCKENBERRY NAME & EARLY IMMIGRANTS
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.
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.
Peter Hockenberry, b. ~1718 in Germany, settled in what is now Fannett Twp., Franklin Co. PA about 1750. His will was probated in Chambersburg, PA on 20 Feb. 1811.

Conjecture

It is possible that Herbert Hockenbury was related to our direct line ancestor Peter Hockenberry (b. 1718). They are 28 years apart in age, so could be brothers, or more likely cousins. Harmon Hockenbury, son of Herbert, lived in Sussex Co., NJ and was buried there at LaFayette, near Newton, NJ. However there are records of a Harmon Hockenbury arriving in Franklin Co., PA in 1799 and living there in the midst of the Peter Hockenberry clan. This Harmon is thought to have been Harmon, the son of Herbert, who then must have returned home later in life to New Jersey. If so, his having lived in the midst of the Peter Hockenberry family strongly suggests that Peter was a kinsman.
