Echtgeno(o)t(e): Anna Catharine Hoeck (geboren Fortbach)


ohan Friederich Hö;ck's tombstone is in German but he was born in Pennsylvania. His grandparents Johann Friedrich Höck and Anna Catharine Fortbach immigrated to Pennsylvania from Burgholzhausen, Hessen, Germany in1749 with the younger two of their four children Johann Conrad and Anna Philippina; their two older children, Johan Jacob and Anna Catharina made the crossing a year earlier in 1748.


 


Johan Jacob and Johann Conrad both had sons named John Frederick and this has been a source of confusion. Family information included in an 1886 History of York Co, PA lists this John Frederick as the son of J. Conrad but Conrad's John Frederick was born July 17, 1761. J. Jacob's son was born in June 5, 1759. The issue of which is which is not settled and the birth date discrepency on the tombstone is troubling and adds to the confusion - but I believe it is more likely to have the correct year and wrong month than the other way around. Therefore, I list the John Frederick Hake who died in 1830 as the son of John Jacob Hake (1724-1803) and Susanna Dorothea Hamme.
