Reinhard Hachenburger

NOT A DIRECT ANCESTOR Reinhard Hachenburger is not in my direct ancestry. He arrrived in America about the same time as Peter Hockenberry (b. 1718), and could possibly be from the same town in Germany (based solely on surname).

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.
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. Reinhard Hachenburger arrived in Philadelphia 21 Sept. 1750 on the English ship "Anderson", carrying passengers from the German Palitinate.
