Lookup in The Heckendorn-Heckathorn Family in America

JSBeacher — 26 Jun 2008 11:53:53 GMT

Does anyone have The Heckendorn-Heckathorn Family in America, 1736-1982 by Theodore Allen Heckathorn - 1983?

On Page 46 there is mention of a John Jacob Bicher who married a widow Heckendorn. He is my 4th great grandfather, about whom I know a great deal.

But I'm most curious as to what is said on page 46!

Thanks.

While researching my Lyle ancestors I came across the surname Heckendorn therefore I did some deep research about the surname. Eventually I found out the Heckendorns I was seeking information about who located in Jefferson and Elk counties were not related to the Heckendorns once of Berks and Perry counties even though one of the ancestors of Adam Heckendorn (son, Christian) wound up in Elk County. According to a book titled, " Commemorative Bio's" Christian Heckendorn, was a native of Germany...when he came to USA he located in PA.....he was a skillful millwright and became quite prominent and wealthy....he died in Perry county, and his wife, who survived him for some time, passed away at the advanced age of ninety-six years....Adam Heckendorn, the father of Christian was born in Berks county PA and grew to manhood in Cumberland county.......later became a resident of Perry county.....Adam and wife, Susan (nee Fenical) Heckendorn had seven chldren: Christian, Francis, John, William, David, George and Abraham... son, George remained with his parents until the age of 18....moved east to Karthaus .... George married Miss Sophia Yothers in 1858, ...they had six children: Joseph A., a prominent merchant, mine owner, and coal operator; Sarah, deceased wife of Alvin A. Murray; Anna B, wife of Edward Read; Janetta E. wife of John Buchanan; William (to Elk County),.....an employee of the PA RR, residing in Johnsonburg, PA: and Bertha, at home......they also reared a niece, Mabel E . (a dau of William Heichel) who has made her home with them since nine months old.... I have some genealogy for William E. Heckendorn who came to Elk County (wife) Mary Ellen Roof, daughter of Samuel and Lucy (nee Searfoss) and will share it if sombody is interested.

Seeking parents/siblings of JACOB HECKENDORN b June 2, 1803, thought to be in Lancaster Co. PA. but not possitive, have heard possibly Burks Co.
Emigrated to Waterloo Co., Canada approx. 1822. Parents may have been CHRISTIAN and CHRISTINA (CATHERINA), again not certain, as there is only one reference to their names by him found in any records and at the age of 85+ yrs.
Also, parents/siblings, wife of LORENZ HECKENDORN thought to be from North Humberland Co., PA prior to 1823, emigrated to Puslinch Twsp.,Wentworth Co., and Waterloo Co., Canada.

Heckendorns of Jefferson County PA

jpfinke1 — 31 Oct 2005 9:15:08 GMT

I'm trying to locate a Heckendorn (possibly Jacob) who was in Jefferson Co. PA around 1870-1880. He and Rachel M(ary) Kennedy b: 1856, had a child James Freddie Heckendorn b:1/31/74 in Roseville Jeff Co PA. Maybe married maybe not cause I have Rachel & Freddie living with John J Silvis b:1853 along with Curtis A Silvis, and Eddie M Greeley in Eldred on the 1880 census.This suggests that (?) Heckendorn possibly died, divorced or left Rachel & son. If you have info on any of these folks I'd love to hear from you. Please contact me at jpfinke1@yahoo.com. Thanks in advance, Jan
