			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="drop-cap">I</span>f you&#8217;ve been following my Huber/Hoover research, you may have seen me refer to some of them as &#8220;Byerland Hoovers.&#8221; Who were they? And why am I calling them the &#8220;Byerland Hoovers?&#8221;</p>
<p>The Byerland Hoovers were the earliest Hoover families to appear in the Lancaster County tax records. They were all Mennonites who settled in Conestoga and Pequea townships along Pequea Creek. They are called the Byerland Hoovers because of their proximity to the Byer/Boyer Mennonite Meeting House.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-4771-1' id='fnref-4771-1'>1</a>]</sup></p>
<p>Joanne Hoover coded these Hoovers in her research as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>[H] Woolrich Hoover</li>
<li>[J] Jacob Hoover</li>
<li>[K] Henry Hoover</li>
<li>[D1] Jacob Hoover</li>
</ul>
<div id="attachment_5489" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 420px"><a href="http://www.krishocker.com/genealogy/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/byerland_hoovers.png"><img class="size-large wp-image-5489 " title="byerland_hoovers" src="http://www.krishocker.com/genealogy/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/byerland_hoovers-410x215.png" alt="Byerland Hoover lands" width="410" height="215" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Tracts at least partially owned by Byerland Hoover families</p></div>
<p>[H] Woolrich Hoover died prior to 23 Jun 1759 when his heirs sold his property (orange tract marked H) to his eldest son Johannes Hover.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-4771-2' id='fnref-4771-2'>2</a>]</sup> He likely died in 1757 as an inventory was filed for his estate that year. He was listed amongst other immigrants who had been in Pennsylvania since 1718 in an 1729 naturalization list.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-4771-3' id='fnref-4771-3'>3</a>]</sup></p>
<p>[J] Jacob Hoover was also likely in Pennsylvania by 1718. He was assessed £10 on his property (blue tract marked J) in 1720.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-4771-4' id='fnref-4771-4'>4</a>]</sup> His land went to his son John who patented it and an adjoining tract (see J2). This land remained with John&#8217;s descendants for many, many years.</p>
<p>Joanne Hoover includes only one Henry Hoover and includes all the [K] and [K2] tracts as belonging to one man. Based on my land research, I believe there were <a title="How Many Henry Hoobers in Martic Township?" href="http://www.krishocker.com/how-many-henry-hoobers-in-martic-township/">two Henry Hoovers</a>. [K] Henry Hoover died in 1757 and left his land (yellow tracts marked K) to his son John Hoover and daughter Elizabeth (Hoover) Boyer.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-4771-5' id='fnref-4771-5'>5</a>]</sup></p>
<p>[K2] Henry Hoover and his wife Catharine divided their property (yellow-orange tracts marked K2) between their sons John and Jacob Hoover in 1767.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-4771-6' id='fnref-4771-6'>6</a>]</sup> I traced this land through deeds from the children of Jacob (d. 1788) and John (d. ca 1810).</p>
<p>Joanne Hoover presumed that [H] Ulrich, [J] Jacob and [K] Henry &#8220;were the brothers named in the York County, Pennsylvania, will written Feb 15, 1771 by Christian Hoover who died without issue.&#8221;<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-4771-7' id='fnref-4771-7'>7</a>]</sup> I have not been able to prove or disprove this theory. The fact that Christian named Johannes Huber and Johannes Line—two names seen often in Conestoga/Martic townships—as trustees of money Christian wanted paid out to the surviving children of his brothers <em>Jacob, Ulrich, and Henry</em> makes it a tantalizing possibility.</p>
<p>[D1] Jacob Hoover was the son of Hans Huber of Earl Township. His descendants are documented in the book <em>The Huber-Hoover Family History</em> by Harry M. Hoover.</p>
<p>There were other tracts in this same general location that belonged to Hoovers.</p>
<p>The two tract in lighter orange—H2 and H3—may have been purchased by sons of [H] Woolrich Hoover. [H2] was purchased by <a title="John Hoover tracts" href="http://www.krishocker.com/from-deed-to-land-warrant-and-back-again/">John Hoover from Jacob Eshleman</a> in 1754.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-4771-8' id='fnref-4771-8'>8</a>]</sup> He had patented 25 acres just to the west in 1752.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-4771-9' id='fnref-4771-9'>9</a>]</sup></p>
<p>Part of [H3] was purchased by Ulrich Hoover [Jr.?] from the heirs of Henry Line in 1771.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-4771-10' id='fnref-4771-10'>10</a>]</sup> Ulrich&#8217;s eldest son sold this property to his step-father Christian Huber in 1788 and to Abraham Kendig in 1789.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-4771-11' id='fnref-4771-11'>11</a>]</sup></p>
<p>The two gray tracts also belonged to Hoovers. The top one was warranted in 1803 and patented in 1811 to Martin Huber. I am not sure if this Martin was the grandson of  [D1] Jacob Hoover or the grandson of [K2] Henry Hoover. The boot-shaped tract was warranted to Jacob Hoover in 1796 and patented to him in 1803. He may have been the son of [H3] Ulrich Hoover (one survey showed this tract as being of Ulrich Hoover), the son of [D1] Jacob Hoover or the grandson of [K2] Henry Hoover. Without information on the subsequent transfer of these properties it&#8217;s difficult to determine the owner&#8217;s identity.</p>
<p>So, these are the families that make up the &#8220;Byerland Hoovers.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="drop-cap"> O</span>n 26 June 1781, Henry Fetter married Christina Hacker, daughter of Hans Adam and Maria Elisabetha (Weidman) Hacker, at Christ Lutheran Church in Stouchsburg, Berks County, Pennsylvania.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-5399-1' id='fnref-5399-1'>1</a>]</sup> Bill Wingeard in his <em>A German-American Hacker-Hocker Genealogy</em> names Henry as the son of Bernhard and Gertrude (___) Fetter. Unfortunately, he doesn&#8217;t provide a source for that information.</p>
<p>In rewriting the genealogy, I&#8217;ve been trying to identify and make sense of the contemporary Fetter/Fehder/Feather/Vetter/Vehders living in the Warwick and Cocalico township in the late 1700s. There are at least two Henry Fetters that I need to clarify in the source data that I&#8217;ve found. Since writing about my research helps me to clarify my thoughts and findings, here goes.</p>
<div id="attachment_5401" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 275px"><a href="http://www.krishocker.com/genealogy/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Screen-shot-2012-04-27-at-3.43.39-PM.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-5401" title="Henry Carpenter tract" src="http://www.krishocker.com/genealogy/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Screen-shot-2012-04-27-at-3.43.39-PM-265x300.png" alt="Henry Carpenter tract" width="265" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Henry Carpenter 700-acre tract in Warwick (now Clay) &amp; Cocalico townships</p></div>
<p>On 13 May 1759, William and Salome (Wister) Chancellor sold 95 1/2 acres in Cocalico Township to Henry Feather.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-5399-2' id='fnref-5399-2'>2</a>]</sup> It adjoined land that had been or was to be granted to Bernhard Feather. This 95 acres was part of a larger tract of 350 acres that Henry Carpenter had sold to his grand-daughter Salome Wister on 21 November 1743.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-5399-3' id='fnref-5399-3'>3</a>]</sup> This tract included 32 acres that Daniel Fiere had sold Salome Wister on 12 June 1750.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-5399-4' id='fnref-5399-4'>4</a>]</sup> The tract sold adjoined land of &#8220;Henry Stouffer,&#8221; placing it on the north-eastern portion of the two tracts shown in the map.</p>
<p>I did not find a deed record of Bernhard Fetter&#8217;s purchase, but both he and Henry took out mortgages on their properties—both 95 1/2 acres—on 1 Jun 1759.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-5399-5' id='fnref-5399-5'>5</a>]</sup> Bernhard&#8217;s wife&#8217;s name is recorded as Gertraut. Henry&#8217;s wife&#8217;s name is recorded as Anna Maria.</p>
<div id="attachment_5429" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.krishocker.com/genealogy/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Feathers-1759.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-5429" title="Feathers-1759" src="http://www.krishocker.com/genealogy/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Feathers-1759-300x298.png" alt="Bernhard and Henry Feather Tracts" width="300" height="298" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Bernhard &amp; Henry Feather tracts, Cocalico Township</p></div>
<p>Bernhard is listed in Warwick tax records as &#8220;Berned Feter&#8221; in 1754.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-5399-6' id='fnref-5399-6'>6</a>]</sup>  There is also a &#8220;Leard Fether&#8221; in Warwick in 1751. Bernhard is listed in 1769 in Cocalico and in 1770 in Warwick with the note &#8220;&amp; a place in Cocalico.&#8221;<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-5399-7' id='fnref-5399-7'>7</a>]</sup> Two Henry Feather&#8217;s are listed in Cocalico in 1770, as is a Conrad Feather.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-5399-8' id='fnref-5399-8'>8</a>]</sup> One Henry Feather is listed as &#8220;a single man with his father.&#8221; The other Henry&#8217;s listing indicates that he was listed as &#8220;Fetter&#8221; in 1769.</p>
<p>Additional tax records list Bernhard Fetter in Warwick Township in 1771, 1772, and 1773.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-5399-9' id='fnref-5399-9'>9</a>]</sup> In 1779, a &#8220;Fetter, Geo &amp; Henry&#8221; are listed instead of Bernhard.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-5399-10' id='fnref-5399-10'>10</a>]</sup> It&#8217;s possible (maybe even probable) that these were Bernhard&#8217;s sons. Meanwhile, a Henry Feather is listed as a freeman (unmarried) in Cocalico Township in 1771, 1772, and taxed on 90 acres in 1773 and 40 acres in 1779.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-5399-11' id='fnref-5399-11'>11</a>]</sup></p>
<p>An inventory is listed for Bernhard Feather of Warwick Township in 1777 in the Archive Collections at the Lancaster County Historical Society.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-5399-12' id='fnref-5399-12'>12</a>]</sup>  So, depending on the actual date of the inventory, Bernhard died in late 1776 or 1777. A will abstract is online for Gertraut Feather of Warwick Township. It indicates her will was written on 22 December 1792 and filed on 19 June 1794.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-5399-13' id='fnref-5399-13'>13</a>]</sup> It only names one child: Elizabeth, wife of John Frymyer.</p>
<p>Henry and Anna Mary Fetter of Cocalico Township sold 95.5 acres to Henry and Peter Fetter on 24 May 1773.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-5399-14' id='fnref-5399-14'>14</a>]</sup> These were likely their sons. They likely also had a son named Bernhard. A will abstract of Bernhard Feather of Cocalico Township in 1816 names his brother Peter and his nieces as: Susanna Brubaker, Christiana, Elizabeth Schlebach (wife of Henry), Mary Klingaman (wife of Michael).<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-5399-15' id='fnref-5399-15'>15</a>]</sup> A deed naming appraisers for the lands of Henry Feder of Cocalico Township in 1822 names the same women as his daughters, plus Susanna Henly, a widow and only daughter of Henry&#8217;s son, Henry [III?].<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-5399-16' id='fnref-5399-16'>16</a>]</sup></p>
<p>Given that Henry and Bernhard Fetter purchased land in 1759, they would have to have been born at or before 1738 (≥21 years of age). Because he was listed in tax records in 1754, Bernhard was likely born prior to 1733. Henry [Jr.] and Peter Fetter would have been born at or before 1752 (≥ 21 years of age in 1773). One of the two Henry Fetters listed in Cocalico Township tax records in 1770 was likely recently of age. The other at least a couple of years older.</p>
<p>Henry and Christina (Ernst) Vetter had a daughter Susanna, born 31 January 1774, baptized in Reiher&#8217;s Reformed Church on 9 January 1774.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-5399-17' id='fnref-5399-17'>17</a>]</sup> I believe this Henry Vetter is Henry Jr., the son of Henry and Anna Maria (___) Fetter. Henry and Christina had two other children baptized at Reiher&#8217;s Reformed Church: John Henry, born 10 March 1776, baptized 5 Apr 1776 and Samuel, born 6 November 1777, baptized 21 December 1777.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-5399-18' id='fnref-5399-18'>18</a>]</sup> Susanna&#8217;s birth places the marriage of Henry and Christina (Ernst) Fetter about 1772. That would place Henry&#8217;s birth about 1751, possibly a few years earlier. This fits perfectly with a child of Henry and Anna Maria (___) Fetter and the Henry Fetter taxed in Cocalico Township in 1771—1773.</p>
<p>The 1822 deed naming appraisers for the land Henry Fetter left his daughters also names a widowed daughter of his son. What&#8217;s interesting about her is the fact that her guardian, Isaac Erb, is also named in the document. This indicates that although she was a widow, she was not yet 21 years of age. Therefore, she was born about 1802, maybe a few years later. That is certainly consistent with a father who was born in the 1770s or very early 1780s.</p>
<p>Which of these Henry Fetters married Christina Hacker, daughter of Hans Adam and Elisabetha (Weidman) Hacker? Until I can find the means to distinguish between the various men of this name, I won&#8217;t be able to accurately document Henry and Christina (Hacker) Fetter. I&#8217;ve got a start in gathering data, but I believe I need more information on these families—if I can get it—to truly be able to identify them in the records. If you have information on any of these families, please leave a comment!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="drop-cap">J</span>acob Huber was born circa 1698, and likely immigrated in 1717.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-3179-1' id='fnref-3179-1'>1</a>]</sup> He appears on tax records for Conestoga Township, Chester County from 1718 through 1725, settling on Pequea Creek on a tract of land in Conestoga and Martic Townships (now Pequea and Providence) which adjoined Ulrich Huber&#8217;s land. He warranted 105 acres.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-3179-2' id='fnref-3179-2'>2</a>]</sup> It was surveyed 28 Jan 1733. He is listed with four children in Lancaster County on a reconstructed 1732 census of Mennonite families.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-3179-3' id='fnref-3179-3'>3</a>]</sup></p>
<div id="attachment_5427" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 165px"><a href="http://www.krishocker.com/genealogy/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Screen-shot-2012-04-28-at-9.41.52-AM.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-5427" title="Screen shot 2012-04-28 at 9.41.52 AM" src="http://www.krishocker.com/genealogy/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Screen-shot-2012-04-28-at-9.41.52-AM-155x300.png" alt="Jacob &amp; John Huber Martic &amp; Conestoga Township Tracts" width="155" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Jacob &amp; John Huber Martic &amp; Conestoga Township Tracts</p></div>
<p>Jacob likely died sometime prior to 23 Nov 1739. Hans Boyer, a neighbor, patented his land on 26 Nov 1739.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-3179-4' id='fnref-3179-4'>4</a>]</sup> Boyer&#8217;s survey refers to Jacob Huber&#8217;s tract as belonging to the Widow Hoober. This tract of 105 acres was patented to John Huber on 2 Oct 1744.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-3179-5' id='fnref-3179-5'>5</a>]</sup> The survey refers to this tract as being of &#8220;Barbara (the widow of Jacob) Hoover&#8230; in right of Martin Kendrick and John Heer.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-3179-6' id='fnref-3179-6'>6</a>]</sup> John Hoover patented an adjoining tract of land, containing 110 acres, on 25 May 1756. This tract was surveyed in 1738.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-3179-7' id='fnref-3179-7'>7</a>]</sup><sup>,</sup><sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-3179-8' id='fnref-3179-8'>8</a>]</sup></p>
<p>If you go by Davis&#8217; 1732 reconstructed Mennonite census, then Jacob and Barbara (___) Huber had at least four children prior to 1732. Davis provides two possible birth years for Jacob—1675 and 1698. I do not know which is his most recent determination, however I am inclined to go by the 1698 date. A 34-year-old man is far more likely to have four children living at home than a 57-year-old—assuming, of course, the validity of the Mennonite census listing.</p>
<p>To date I have found only one possible child for Jacob and Barbara (___) Huber:</p>
<ol class="child-list">
<li><span class="child-name">John Huber</span> was born at or before 1723, probably in Lancaster County.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-3179-9' id='fnref-3179-9'>9</a>]</sup> He died sometime prior to 30 Apr 1785, possibly in 1784.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-3179-10' id='fnref-3179-10'>10</a>]</sup><sup>,</sup><sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-3179-11' id='fnref-3179-11'>11</a>]</sup> He married Barbara (___) likely before 1755. Barbara died sometime after 30 Apr 1785. The couple had the following children:<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-3179-12' id='fnref-3179-12'>12</a>]</sup>
<ol class="grandchild-list">
<li><span class="grandchild-name">Henry Huber</span> was born ca 1740-1750 in Conestoga (now Pequea) Township, Lancaster County. He married <span class="grandchild">Mary (___)</span>, possibly Newswanger, prior to 30 Apr 1785.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-3179-13' id='fnref-3179-13'>13</a>]</sup><sup>,</sup><sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-3179-14' id='fnref-3179-14'>14</a>]</sup> If his wife&#8217;s maiden name was Newswanger, then the couple was living in York County by 4 Jun 1798.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-3179-15' id='fnref-3179-15'>15</a>]</sup> Henry Hoover and Mary Newswanger had children: John, Christina, Abraham, Susan, Barbara, and Elizabeth.</li>
<li><span class="grandchild-name">Abraham Huber</span> was born circa 24 Sep 1752 and died 4 May 1825 in Conestoga (now Pequea) Township, Lancaster County. He was buried in Old Byerland Cemetery in Pequea Township. He may have married <span class="grandchild">Anna (___)</span>, possibly Anna Huber, daughter of Jacob and Barbara (___) Huber Jr. of Martic Township. He was a farmer and a Mennonite and lived all his life on property he purchased from his father&#8217;s estate.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-3179-16' id='fnref-3179-16'>16</a>]</sup> Abraham had children: Barbara, Mary married Abraham Huber, John, Abraham Jr., Anna married Martin Snavely (brother of John below), Christianna, and Elizabeth. Except for Mary and Anna, his daughters never married.</li>
<li><span class="grandchild-name">Christian Huber</span> was likely born prior to 1755 in Conestoga (now Pequea) Township, Lancaster County<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-3179-17' id='fnref-3179-17'>17</a>]</sup> and died sometime between 1820 and 1830 in Martic (now Providence) Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-3179-18' id='fnref-3179-18'>18</a>]</sup> He may have married <span class="grandchild">Anna (___)</span>, born 5 Apr 1762 and died 21 Feb 1845.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-3179-19' id='fnref-3179-19'>19</a>]</sup> Christian may have had two sons: Christian Huber Jr. and John Huber. Their administrator, Abraham Huber, son of John Huber, purchased land from the Orphans Court in 1892 that is similar in metes and bounds to the land Christian Huber [Sr.] received from his father John&#8217;s estate in 1792.</li>
<li><span class="grandchild-name">John Huber</span> was born before 1759 in Conestoga (now Pequea) Township, Lancaster County. He was single in 1790.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-3179-20' id='fnref-3179-20'>20</a>]</sup> No more is known about him.</li>
<li><span class="grandchild-name">Jacob Huber</span> was born before 1764 in Conestoga (now Pequea) Township, Lancaster County.

<li><span class="grandchild-name">Peter Huber</span> was born circa 1760 in Conestoga (now Pequea) Township, Lancaster County. He likely died sometime after 25 Jul 1818.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-3179-22' id='fnref-3179-22'>22</a>]</sup> He married <span class="grandchild">Mary Huber</span>, daughter of John &amp; Mary (___) Huber of Martic Township and <a href="http://www.krishocker.com/surname-saturday-henry-huber-family/">granddaughter of Henry and Catharine (Good) Huber</a>. Peter and Mary had children: Peter Jr., Esther married Jacob Eshleman, Barbara, Anna, and John.</li>
<li><span class="grandchild-name">Anne Huber</span> was born prior to 1764 in Conestoga (now Pequea) Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. She married a <span class="grandchild">Brenneman</span> who likely died prior to 30 Apr 1785.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-3179-23' id='fnref-3179-23'>23</a>]</sup></li>
<li><span class="grandchild">Frena Huber</span> was born prior to 1764 in Conestoga (now Pequea) Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. She was named among the children of John &amp; Barbara Huber in the deed where the widow and children sold land from John&#8217;s estate to his sons Peter and Christian Hoober.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-3179-24' id='fnref-3179-24'>24</a>]</sup></li>
<li><span class="grandchild-name">Barbara Huber</span> was born prior to 1764 in Conestoga (now Pequea) Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. She was named among the children of John &amp; Barbara Huber in the deed where the widow and children sold land from John&#8217;s estate to his sons Peter and Christian Hoober.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-3179-25' id='fnref-3179-25'>25</a>]</sup></li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Jacob Huber may have been—depending on the birth year—either the elder brother or father of Ulrich Huber of Conestoga. He may have been related to either or both Henry Huber&#8217;s of Martic/Conestoga townships. If Joanne M. Hoover is correct in her assumptions, then Jacob, Ulrich, Henry (presumably the elder, d. ca 1757), <a href="http://www.krishocker.com/will-christian-hoover-1771/">Christian Huber</a> of Heidelberg Township, York County, Pennsylvania, and Ann (Huber) Keny were all siblings as named in Christian&#8217;s will.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-3179-26' id='fnref-3179-26'>26</a>]</sup> It is certainly a possibility. However, there were other men of these names living in York County to whom Christian&#8217;s will might have been referring.</p>
<p>Jane Evans Best indicates that Jacob may have been the son of Hans Heinrich Huber and Barbel Suter, baptized 30 Jun 1698 in Hausen, Switzerland.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-3179-27' id='fnref-3179-27'>27</a>]</sup> If she is correct, this would make him the brother of one of the Henry Huber&#8217;s of Martic/Conestoga township and possibly a cousin of Hans Huber of Earl Township and his son Jacob Huber who settled nearby in Martic (now Providence) township—just up the Pequea, in fact.</p>

<p>Hans Boyer and his wife Barbara sold 210 acres, adjoining John Forrer, Ulrich Huber, and the Widow Hoober, to their son Samuel Boyer on 27 March 1748.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-5373-4' id='fnref-5373-4'>4</a>]</sup> Samuel Boyer and his wife Mary solid 1 acre to the Mennonist Conegregation on 10 December 1755.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-5373-5' id='fnref-5373-5'>5</a>]</sup> This became the Byerland Mennonite Meeting house.</p>
<p>On 10 January 1758, Samuel and Mary Boyer sold 14 acres to Tobias Boyer.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-5373-6' id='fnref-5373-6'>6</a>]</sup> Two years later on 3 October 1760, Tobias and Mary Boyer sold two tracts—including these 14 acres—to David Worley.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-5373-7' id='fnref-5373-7'>7</a>]</sup> David and his wife Ann then sold these two tracts to Christian Line on 11 March 1769.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-5373-8' id='fnref-5373-8'>8</a>]</sup></p>
<p>On 10 August 1769, Samuel and Mary Boyer sold 195 acres to Abraham and Mary Hess.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-5373-9' id='fnref-5373-9'>9</a>]</sup> Several months later, Abraham and Mary Hess sold the 195 acres to Jacob Smith.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-5373-10' id='fnref-5373-10'>10</a>]</sup> In November 1770, Jacob Smith purchased two tracts of land—including the 14 acres—from Christian and Anna (Boyer) Line.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-5373-11' id='fnref-5373-11'>11</a>]</sup></p>
<p>Jacob and Magdalena (Good) Smith sold two tracts—ten acres 126 perches and one acres 58 perches—to Abraham Kagey on 22 June 1776.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-5373-12' id='fnref-5373-12'>12</a>]</sup> The couple sold 60 acres to John Funk.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-5373-13' id='fnref-5373-13'>13</a>]</sup> On 15 October 1780, John and Ann Funk confirmed these same 60 acres back to Jacob Smith.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-5373-14' id='fnref-5373-14'>14</a>]</sup> Then on 20 December 1784 Abraham Kagey&#8217;s executors—Abraham Kagey Jr. and Christian Shank—sold the two tracks totaling about 11 acres purchased from Jacob Smith to Andrew Sureus.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-5373-15' id='fnref-5373-15'>15</a>]</sup> Andrew &amp; Catherine Surearus sold on 13 September 1790 two tracts to Christian and Peter Huber—one of 10 acres 126 perches and the other one acres and 58 perches.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-5373-16' id='fnref-5373-16'>16</a>]</sup></p>
<p>After Jacob Smith’s death, the 195 acres he owned were partitioned into two sections. The first, containing 125 acres 50 perches was granted to Jacob Smith [Jr.]. The other contained 72 acres 78 perches (not including the acre deeded to the Mennonists) and was granted to Christian Smith. Jacob Smith renounced his claim to the 125 acres, so it was awarded to Abraham Smith, the third son. However, Abraham then sold this parcel to Jacob on 11 April 1805.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-5373-17' id='fnref-5373-17'>17</a>]</sup> Then in May 1805, Jacob Smith sold to his brother Christian two tracts from the 125 acres—one of 40 acres 150 perches, adjoining land of Jacob Smith, Abraham Huber, Henry Zercher and Christian Smith, the other of three acres 140 perches, adjoining land of Jacob Smith, Christian Smith and Pequea Creek.<sup class='footnote'>[<a href='#fn-5373-18' id='fnref-5373-18'>18</a>]</sup></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been working on my Hacker/Hocker family book recently and am wondering what to do with the unconnected Hacker and Hocker families in my database. Ideally, I&#8217;d like to be able to trace them back and identify parents and other family members. Realistically, I may not be able to do so.</p>
<p>For the purposes of the book, I&#8217;ll most likely include them in either separate chapters or appendices. In the past I&#8217;ve shared some of these families here on the website. I thought I&#8217;d list out these families in hope that someone out there recognizes them and might have some clues to offer&#8230;</p>
<h4>Adam and Eve (Hamaker) Hocker</h4>
<p>Adam Hocker was born 19 October 1812 and died 26 September 1870. He was buried in Churchville Cemetery in Oberlin, Swatara Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. On 22 February 1838, he married Eve Hamaker, daughter of Adam and Magdalena (Snavely) Hamaker of Derry Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. She was born 24 June 1817 and died 14 November 1892. She was buried with her husband in Churchville Cemetery. The family lived in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania.</p>
<p>Adam and Eve (Hamaker) Hocker had children:</p>
<ol class="child-list">
<li>Jacob H. Hocker (10 Jan 1839-1 Mar 1911) m1. Catharine Eshnour (ca 1838-31 Dec 1862), m2. Barbara A. Leonhart</li>
<li>John Hocker (17 Jan 1841-18 Feb 1905) m. Rebecca Brenner (26 Nov 1842-19 Jul 1928)</li>
<li>Adam H. Hocker (15 Jan 1843-11 Jun 1902) m. Martha Shope</li>
<li>Mary Elizabeth Hocker (ca 1844/5-?) m. George Cumbler (31 Oct 1841-14 Apr 1904)</li>
<li>Sarah Hocker (19 Sep 1848-13 Apr 1930) m. Peter Page</li>
<li>Dr. David R. Hocker (1 Dec 1850-21 Nov 1887) m. Hettie Esther Rudy (3 Jan 1854-11 May 1894)</li>
<li>Malinda Hocker (Jan 1853-aft 1920) m. Wilson G. Smith</li>
<li>Martin M. Hocker (15 May 1855-25 Apr ?) m. Mary Elizabeth Marbuger (9 Apr 1856-5 Aug 1918)</li>
