The information I have is: John Wesley Hockaday was born Aug.8, 1825 in New Kent Co Va and died after 1880 in California. He married (1) Lucy Belle Stevens 12-09-1873 in San Jaoquin California. He married (2) Lucy Belle Van Valkenberg she was born Aug 1849 in Kansas and died Unknown.
It is strange that both wives has the same name. They had 2
children Myrtle Hockaday born 1885 and Philmer Lee Hockaday born Aug. 1889 .Philip was born Aug. 1858 California and died after 1930 in Happy Camp, California 96039.
