Johann Hockertz
&
Margaretha Hammes:
case study as stories move to genealogy
-by Alice Marie Beard |
All families have "stories,"
but stories are not genealogy. A genealogist must move
from fantasy to fact. However, a good genealogist never
discounts those "stories." As a case study,
this will begin with a "story" about two people
from long ago: John HOCKERTZ and Margaret HAMMES.
[Update
August 2003: Catholic
records found in Winterspelt, Germany, establish the
names as Johann HOCKERTZ and Margaretha HAMMES, from the
towns of Ihren and Heckhuscheid. For their ancestors, CLICK HERE.]
First, it is known that they existed:
This is always worth proving because, in genealogy hunts,
occasionally people turn out to be like St. Catherine
with her palm frond and wagon wheel: a "symbol of a
person" who was created to hold a family together,
but who never existed in reality.
John and Margaret HOCKARDS are found on the 1850 census
in Racine, Wisc., as a couple with children. On
29-Jul-1850, census examiner James Bartlett recorded the
family as John Hockards, age 36, laborer, born in
Germany; Margaret Hockards, age 33, born in Germany;
Catherine Hockards, age 7, born in Germany; George Hockards, age
5, born in Germany; Mary Hockards, age 2, born in
Indiana; Henry Hockards, age 3/12 [3 months], born in
Wisconsin. Relationships are not noted on the 1850
census. However, all are listed together in a household,
with "ditto" marks for the surnames. Clearly,
this was a family: husband, wife, and children. There is
always the possibility, however, that people carrying the
same surname, in the same household, are not related as
we would first guess.
On the 1860 census, John is found with five young people
whom we will presume [until proven otherwise] to be his
children. Margaret has vanished from the record. They are
in Lafayette, Tippecanoe Co., IN. Recorded as dwelling
803, family 756. This time the name is spelled HICKARDS:
John Hickards, age 45, laborer, born in Germany;
Catherine Hickards, age 17, born in Prussia; George Hickards, age
15, laborer, born in Prussia; Mary Hickards, age 12, born
in Indiana; Henry Hickards, age 9, born in Wisconsin, in
school during the year; Theodore Hickards, age 6, born in
Wisconsin, in school during the year.
In Tippecanoe Co., IN, there is found from "Docket
of Letters of Guardians" the following:
Name of Guardian:
John Hockers
Date of Letter: 1863, March 23
Name of Surety: John Bonjew [not easily read]
Names and ages of Wards:
...Catharine Hockers, 20 years
...George Hockers, 18 years
...Mary Hockers, 15 years
...Henry Hockers, 12 years
...Theodore Hockers, 10 years
Citation Feby 14.67
Citation dismissed and Litime [?] revoked
Feb 29.1868 12-75 |
About this time, the
typical genealogist is damning people who did not write
legibly, spell well, or make clear just what was
meant by the scribbled info in a court house book. Is the
word "Litem," which might indicate there was a
lawsuit involving the children and John was appointed to
protect their interest? Or, is the word
"Letter," which might indicate John was
appointed guardian of money inherited by the children,
"taking" for their deceased mother? Regardless,
the genealogist can take heart that the record exists at
all. It is a document out of a court house which makes it
a much better record for the existence of the family than
the census. Jokes abound among genealogists about the
accuracy of information from a census record.
With no further information, what does this information
found in a "Docket of Letters of Guardians"
mean? Apparently something happened before 23-March-1863
that involved the children and John was appointed to
protect their interests. Someone with a name something
like "John Bonjew" posted a surety bond
guaranteeing John would handle any money honestly.
What did this legal matter involve? Who was "John
Bonjew"? Was he related in some way? Or was he hired
to guarantee? Might he have been an attorney?
LEARNED LATER: Three
months earlier, in Oberraden, Germany, Georg Hammes
had died, on Jan. 24, 1863. George Hammes was the
maternal grandfather of John Hockertz' five children.
Apparently the children had inherited money from the
grandfather, and John Hockertz was named to protect
the children's interest.
We see a family grouping with the
correct ages on the census in July 1850 in Racine, Wisc.,
and also on the census in 1860 in Lafayette, IN, and
again in March 1863 in the "Docket of Letters of
Guardians." Therefore, we can say we've established
their existence in the world of reality.
We can "fill out" some family info with bits
& pieces:
In a published "History of Tippecanoe
County," available at the historical/genealogical
society in Tippecanoe Co., there is mention of George E.
Dahm on page 160. He is noted as the son of John DAHM and
Katherine HOOCKER, both natives of Germany. George is
noted as connected to St. Mary's Catholic Church of
Lafayette, IN. John Dahm is noted as having been employed
by the Wabash Railroad for 35 years, a fact worth
remembering because "Katherine Hoocker" is the
same as "Catharine Hockers," who is the same as
"Catherine Hickards," who is the same as
"Catherine Hockards," who is found in German
records as "Catherine Hockertz." In other
words, the John Hockertz being researched had a daughter
marry a man who worked for the Wabash Railroad for many
years. That fact helps to place John in the social milieu
of the time and place. John was a man whose oldest
daughter would marry a railroad worker; she didn't marry
a doctor or lawyer. [But, this being America, John had
more than one descendant who became a doctor or lawyer.]
We find from the historical/genealogical society in
Tippecanoe Co., IN, notation of a Clara Ann McDonald
Hooker, b. 4-Apr-1859, Carroll Co., IN; d. 9-Aug-1945;
buried at the Lutheran Cemetery; wife of Theodore Hooker.
That gives us the name of the wife of the 10-year-old
noted as "Theodore Hockers" in the 1863
"Docket of Letters of Guardians."
From the same source is Clarence Hooker, b. 1886; d.
31-May-1931, age 45; son of Theodore; buried at Lutheran
Cemetery also. It is reasonable to suspect that Clarence
was the son of Theodore Hooker and Clara Ann McDonald.
From Theodore's death certificate filed with the Indiana
State Board of Health, there is the following:
Theodore Hooker;
County of Tippecanoe;
Township of Washington;
date of death: Nov. 17, 1905.
PERSONAL INFO:
male, white, married;
name of wife: Clara Hooker;
date of birth: Dec. 7, 1854;
age: 50 years, 4 months;
occupation: farmer;
birthplace: Wisconsin;
place of death: Washington Twp.
name of father: John Hookar
birthplace of father: Germany
maiden name of mother: Hames
birthplace of mother: Germany
above stated personal particulars provided by:
Mrs. Weil of Delphi, IN
[Further research proved Mrs. Weil to be the
"Mary Hockers" who was 15 in 1863 for
the "Document of Letters of Guardians."
Mary married Thomas Weil and was living in
Delphi, IN, in 1905.]
MEDICAL INFO:
cause of death: tetanus
duration: four days
attended by physician
death occured 10:13 A.M.
place of burial: Colburn |
Some tiny bits begin
to repeat in family stories:
When the same tiny bits of information are told by people
who descend from common ancestors but who themselves have
never met or corresponded, a genealogist begins to
consider that it's reasonable to note such information
tentatively -- with the understanding that the
information needs acceptable corroboration.
Three people not in contact claim that the family was
Roman Catholic:
The 94-year-old widow of a great-grandson of John and
Margaret wrote in 1987 that John and Margaret's son
George was Catholic: "Grandpa Hooker [George Hooker]
was never a Dunkard [Brethren]; he was a Catholic.
Grandma [Elizabeth Hufford] was a Dunkard. I hear they
used to argue about religion."
A 70-year-old great-granddaughter of John & Margaret
thru their daughter Mary wrote in 1975: "Grandpa
Weil [Thomas Weil] was a Methodist. Grandma [Mary, dau.
of John & Margaret] was reared Catholic, but she
became a Methodist for him. All of her brothers, sister,
cousins, etc., were Catholic."
John and Mary's daughter Catharine/Catherine/Katherine definitely
was a Catholic. This is beyond a claim. After she
died 3-Nov-1890, her body was buried at St. Joseph
Catholic Cemetery in Lafayette, Tippecanoe Co., IN. It
helps to know Catholic church rules of that time: In 1890
she would not have been buried in a Catholic cemetery
unless she had been Catholic.
Therefore, we have claims that two of the five children
were Catholic, and proof that a third was Catholic.
This fits with one other tiny bit of info which repeats:
the family was from near Trier, Germany. That area of
Germany would have been predominately Catholic in the
1840s when John and Margaret would have left Germany.
On the 1860 census, both John & Margaret's daughter
Catherine and their son George were noted as born in
Prussia -- not Germany as the father is noted, but
Prussia, an area that would include Trier.
In 1968, a daughter of John & Margaret's son George
wrote, "My father was born in Trier, Germany."
Sometime before he died in 1947, a son of John &
Margaret's son George wrote that his father was from
"Bezirk. Trier Bein Praving Germany." He also
noted George's father was John Hockards, and his mother
was Margritte Hommace. Notice the variation on the mom's
last name. The first name is obviously Margaret, and the
German variation of Margaret. The last name, however, has
now shown as "Hames" and "Hommace."
That might suggest that one was spelling it the way it
sounded [hom-mace], and the other closer to an actual
spelling [Hames].
The Story
The story
deserves some respect if only as a nice story written by
a seventy-year-old lady who was trying to repeat a story
that had been told to her. In 1975, a woman who was a
granddaughter of John & Margaret's daughter Mary took
pen in hand and wrote in beautiful handwriting -- the
likes of which no longer is taught in public schools --
the following story. The story mentions embroidering
linens. It's a nice word to be in the story because the
story is likely well-embroidered. In some family stories,
dead people get richer as the years pass, and grass gets
greener, and life becomes perfect. When wives and mothers
die young -- as it appears Margaret did -- they become
more beautiful and more like saints. But a good story is
a good story, and occasionally a bit of genealogical
truth can be found even in the most embroidered story.
The story was written down by a lady named Mildred Weil
at birth. She put the story on paper at the request of
her brother's son, a lawyer. On with the story:
What I know of my
father's family are the stories his mother (my
Grandma Weil) told me.
Six [miscount?] generations ago
grandma's mother [the mother being Margaret Hames] was born in Germany,
the daughter of an influential man. He was the
"right hand" man to the Kaiser.
Grandma's mother was one of several sisters. They
lived on a large beautiful estate and they were
all educated. In those days only about 10% of the
German people could read and write. The sisters
also learned the "gentle arts." They
spun the flax, wove linen and embroidered it.
They sat together on the well kept lawns with
their newly woven linens spread out on the neatly
clipped grass in the sun. They had buckets of
water which they used to sprinkle the linen so
that the sun would bleach it white. They sat
nearby in the shade of the large trees and
embroidered their previously bleached linens. The
girls took turns reading aloud while the others
embroidered.
The estate was large, beautifully kept, and had a
staff of gardeners. The gardens were formal with
precisely clipped hedges, majestic trees, lovely
flowers, and also in a secluded place an adequate
vegetable garden which supplied the family table.
A handsome apprentice gardener was Mr. [John] Hookard who fell in
love with one of the sisters [Margaret Hammes]. They courted, when
possible in trysting places behind hedges and in
the Gazebo (a garden house). They also exchanged
letters or notes in a secret "post
office" in a hollow tree. Finally they
eloped with plans so well laid that they eluded
pursuit, were married, and the story of their
escape is interesting.
The girl managed to sneak out necessary clothing,
etc., from the house which Mr. Hookard hid in a
culvert under a road on a nearby estate. He also
dug out a sort of a cave under the culvert and
stocked it with blankets, water, and food. They
spent three nights and two days in the cave while
the girl's family hunted for them. An accomplice
picked them up the third night in a carriage.
Somehow they reached the sea coast and boarded a
sailing ship for America.
They had saved up some money and finally arrived
in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Mr. Hookard and a
partner operated a brick kiln in Allentown for
many years. Mrs. Hookard's father finally located
her and asked her to come home, but she refused.
By that time they had several children. Since she
had married a "commoner," her father
disinherited her, but he must have been a kind
man because he sent her a monthly allowance so
long as she lived.
I don't know how many children the Hookards had,
but there must have been about six of them. Mrs.
Hookard died in child birth, and since Mary
(Grandma Weil) was the oldest, she became mother
to the family at an early age.
THE END! |
Reality
Now, reality rears its ugly head:
The oldest two children were born in Germany (or Prussia,
take your pick!) which begins to put a fly in the
ointment. Now, you have to tell yourself, "Okay,
maybe the couple hid for a few years in Europe before
coming to America."
Mary was born in October 1847 in Indiana; the next child,
in 1850 in Wisconsin; and the next, in 1855 in Wisconsin.
By 1860, the father and children were back in Indiana, in
Lafayette Co. Now, when were they in Allentown,
Pennsylvania? Something doesn't fit.
Update: Records show that the family
arrived in New York on October 14, 1846, on a ship
named "Niobe." The ship had sailed out of
Antwerp, Belgium. That would allow time for some
months in Allentown, Pennsylvania, in early 1847
before a move to Indiana when Mary was born in
October 1847.
The information is
from "1820-1850 New York Passenger and
Immigration Lists." The arrival date was
14-Oct-1846; port of departure was Antwerp, Belgium;
the place of origin is noted as
"Deutschland." Family identification was
348389. Microfilm Serial Number: M237. Microfilm Roll
Number: 64. Family name was misread and indexed as
"Hockerty."
The mention of John
running a brick kiln is interesting for this reason:
After serving in the U.S. Civil War, John's son George
worked for a man making bricks in Carroll Co., Indiana.
Mary the oldest of the children? No. Records clearly show
she had both an older brother and an older sister.
However, brothers seldom "mother," and that
older sister was married in about 1861. Mary likely did
have to "mother" the two younger brothers,
Henry b. 1850 and Theodore b. 1855.
The story of the wealthy family of Margaret Hammes can be
taken with a grain of salt. Margaret's family may have
been better off than John Hockertz' family; possibly John
even worked for Margaret's family, but the story of
enormous wealth and being the "right hand" to
the Kaiser is probably like the embroidery on the linen.
Mary likely was less than 13 when she lost her mother.
Her stories may have grown out of her grief.
But it's a nice bedtime story.
Family Group Record
The following family group info has been pieced together.

UPDATE:
I received an email and a guestbook entry from someone
claiming to descend from a sister of Margaret Hammes.
Below is the exchange, as now found on the guestbook for
this genealogy site. Obviously, this would all need to be
verified:
from Uwe
Probst
Apr 12, 2003
Uwe.Probst@vr-web.de
Hello Alice.
My name is Uwe Probst. I come from Bleialf, Germany. My
home is about 10 km from Heckhuscheid, where Gertrud and
Margaretha Hammes were born. John Hockertz
was born in Ihren, a small town 8 km from Bleialf. My
Great-great-greatgrandmother was Gertrud (Hammes)
Rolloff. She was a sister of Margaretha (Hammes)
Hockertz. www.uprobst.de - That's my homepage.
Greetings,
Uwe
from Alice:
According to information found at Uwe's web site in 2003,
Uwe's ancestor Gertrud and my ancestor Margaret were both
daughters of Georg Ackerer HAMMES (1782-1863) and Maria
PüTZ VULGO STANERS (1780-1823). From Uwe's information,
it appears that George Ackerer Hammes died Jan. 24, 1863.
That fits with the fact that on March 23, 1863, the
widower of Margaretha Hammes (John Hockert) was named as
a guardian for some asset of his minor children. Our best
guess had been that Margaretha's children took for their
mother when her father died, and the dates your provide
would further suggest that.
A 'net search turned up this family group record: George HAMMES & Maria
PUTZ VULGO STANERS. Listed as a
child to that couple is Margaretha HAMMES born
5-Aug-1817, in Heckhuscheid, Rhe-Pfa, Germany, with
husband Johan HOCKERTZ. We had Margaret born about 1817;
we could tell her approximate year of birth by how old
she was on the ship's passenger list. The person who put
up the page with the family group sheet for Margaretha
Hammes' parents has accepted their Margaretha as a match
to our Margaretha, and has included information from this
researcher about the descendants of Margareths Hammes.
