ROY, I haven't used Monique for any research information. I don't know her, so I don't know of her accuracy. Much of my information comes from my Father's and Grandfather's research as well as my family research and our contacts. I don't what or where you acquired your research information of the Caquelin/ Gockley, but would interested in sharing my info with you and vice versa. gock_2000@yahoo.com is my e-mail address should you wish to share information conduits.
I believe Wayne Reed and my lineage involve several female lines.
Nicholas Caquelin's father was not Jacobin. I will get his parents name to you. John Gockley fought in the Revoluntionary War. I have a newspaper article in which my Grandfather had a new headstone commissioned for John Gockley depicting his war service.

Larry, I understand the frustration of trying to get the information out of Monique's writing. I had 1 year of French in college! I trust her knowledge of European history but she does have my gggmother marrying her own son!
I'm glad that you are still involved with this. Do you know whether Wayne Reed is still interested. His email from 2000 doesn't still work. (which doesn't surprise me.) We are cousins for sure and I would like to contact him.

Monique, Your Gockley/Caquelin info is accurate. I don't where this Robert gleaned his information about the Gockley's coming from a Northland-ish part of Europe, but seems so far off-base with the American Gockley lineage. Unless the English used that name as a more general moniker for names of foreign nationals they couldn't understand. I believe I have found Nicholas Caquelin's parents. Do you have that same info and/or more updated than them ?
Apparently those French families endured the 30/100 years wars by escaping further into the mountains when bands of marauders came through their villages.
I believe the Caquelin namesake to represent either a "sea shell" or mean "maker of flax linen". I assume they were farmers given Sebastian and his sons farmed the land in Pennsylvania. There is a relocated cemetery marking the family's plots & headstones in the Middlecreek Park (not sure of name)
I took French in HS.and understand some, but not enough.
Take care. Larry Gockley

"Frances" Bricker was really Veronica Bricker, her father Peter Bricker (original spelling Bruegger), mother Elizabeth Becker. As a German-speakers in what was a rural and largely German-speaking community at the time -- in Cocalico, Lancaster County, PA -- her parents would not have given her the English name of "Frances". Her Swiss-origin nickname would have been "Froni". Christian, my ancestor, was one of Veronica's older brothers.

Veronica's mother was of the Brethren (Dunkers) faith, which is probably why Veronica was too.

Hi I was wondering if you have any information on Susan Miller Spang Gockley. She was once married to Isaac Spang who was my ggg grandfather and the mother of Isaac Spang my gg grandfather. For the last year I have been trying to find out who her parents are. Levi and his sister Leah would be step-brother and step-sister to Isaac who was born 1839 in Pa. If you have any information on her I would very much appreicate what you have, it may help me connect the last link in my line. I do have some information on Levi and Leah, and their father Absalom. You could e-mail me directly at charleliz@yahoo.com Thank you Charlene

Dear Joannacay,

Thank you so much for the information, what a wonderful Christmas present you have given me. I have been trying to connect Samuel Cocklin (my gr-gr-grandfather) to Sebastion Caquelin for the past several months but could not find the information to PROVE his father. My Aunt started the Cocklin genealogy in 1964 and gave each of the neices a copy of what she had although she cound not find Samuel's father. I still have some work to do on Samuel's children and their children, but have some. My line is Jacob Winfield (eldest child) b. 24/12/1833 Cumberland Co. Pa., d.3 Apr.1920 Harrison Co. Mo. m. Mary Ann Knight 11 Sept,1860 Marshallville, Wayne Co. Ohio, moved to Winterset, Madison Co. Ia. and later to Ridgeway, Harrison Co. Mo. She was b. 7 Dec.1843 d.4 Apr.1917. If you don't have this information I would be more than happy to send you anything I have. You can contact me at gmas29@yahoo.com. if you want. Thanks again. Connie

Here is another: 'Your pipe is out,' when a man quit bidding. 'More bidding and less talk, less squeal and more wool,' was another. He taught John Reeves and George Hebel the profession. He was the best of his time. He died in 1891 at the good old age of eighty. His first wife died in 1856 back in Carlisle, PA, where she is buried [Slate Hill Mennonite Cemetery, Allen Twp]. The were back on a visit. The youngest child John was then about six years old. He nor any of the children ever saw their mother after she left them to go visiting. It is a tragic story."

Re: Nationality

2006-03-31 12:23:43Z

Hello,
I can tell you thay some Gockleys in fact are Caquelin, a French name from a small alsatian region called Le Ban de la Roche ; this region provided many migrants to America, espacially at the occasion of the arrival of the ship Princess Augusta in 1736. If you can speak French, you will be able to read my virtual book Les Voyageurs de la Princess Augusta, at this adress : http://badonpierre.free.fr/princess2/f001.html ; if you do not speak French, I hope you will enjoy the illustrations, and guess something of the pedigrees, for which I use this international code : o = birth ; x = marriage ; + = death.

2003-03-10 01:35:14Z

Matt, I recall seeing a posting mentioning a Polly as a spouse who lived in western PA., but don't recall exactly where. Might have been on Caquelin page. Your western PA/eastern OH. Gockley's were part of a migration west. I think there was a rift in the family of Cocalico Twp. in which family moved for whatever reason. Some even changed their name to Cockley just to distance themselves, although there have been as many as 21 different spellings of the Caquelin/ Gockley lineage. Larry Gockley

Larry,
It looks like you are doing a lot of work on the family. I have a lot of information I organized from the days of the Caquelin Chronicle, put out by Velma Clark, who I believe was part of your branch of the family. I hoped to put out a series of three-generation volumes for Sebastian Caquelin and for each of his grandsons, and perhaps female lines if they are complete enough. But I never got the time to get the data into finished formats. Would you be interested in working together on this?

He had 7 children with his first wife who died in childbirth having Daniel and a twin brother who died at birth. He sent for his wifes sister to come help with the children and married her and had at least 7 more children with her. anyone out there know anything of them?

Gockley surname was Caquelin

2002-09-09 04:40:23Z

When the Gockleys arrived in the US, their surname was Caquelin. In a German-speaking community, it became Gockley, Cockley, and Cocklin. They came from Waldersbach, Alsace, in 1736: Sebastian son of Nicholas, with sons Dietrich, John, and Jacob and daughters Marie (Page), Catherine (Ditzler), and Sara (Brecht).

Re: what nationality and where is the Gockley name from

2001-08-25 05:49:17Z

Nancy,

If you live in Lancaster, there are plenty of Gockleys buried out there and plenty of places to research them locally for you. My husband and I drove out from King of Prussia one day to check out burial plots. Some are now in protected bird sanctuaries and not accessible unless by appointment with the park ranger, but the office has information in their files about these families. "Grave Undertakings" lists cemeteries with Gockleys in them. You are probably related as my Gockleys settled in Lancaster. They were Caquelin first.
But we can swap info and compare notes if you like.

my Gockley's were Caquelins and they settled inLancaster.
They were from Alsace Lorraine . . . I don't know about the other Gockley story I saw here. Anyway, perhaps we can compare notes . . . perhaps we already have.

the meaning of the Gockley name

2000-10-29 16:13:43Z

The Gockley's were Swiss Nationally, but spoke German. The name means 'fighting cock'. They were the gangsters of their day, controlling the land used for cock fights and some of the the more seedy activities. They were probably the descendents of the Northlanders during their push inland along the rivers.

Gockley family history

2001-11-13 18:52:06Z

My grandmother was adopted and raised by Levi Gockley who lived in Whittemore Iowa. He had relation in Illinois. My grandmother never knew who she was but I remember her saying that she thought that Levi may have been her uncle because he was always kind to her and his wife(her adopted mother)was very mean to her. She was born in Illinois and that is all I know about it. She died in 1965 and is buried in Rodman, Iowa. The Gockley's are buried in Whittemore. She never knew who her real parents were. I have looked several times trying to find Gockley information and have found none. My grandmothers name was Sadie Gockley Debolt and her birth date(we think is right ) is February 20 1878.
