Johann Hockerts
& Margaretha Hammes:
a case study as stories move to genealogy
-by Alice Marie Beard |
Johann HOCKERTS and Margaretha
HAMMES are the parents of my two-greats-grandfather, George Hooker; I
descend from George's oldest daughter. Discovering the
origins of this ancestral couple has been the result of
distant cousins finding me and reaching out.
The cousin who shared the story below
was Richard "Dick"
Weil, Judge Weil if you were in
his court room. He was a municipal judge in Bexar County,
Texas, from 1997 through 2008. He was an attorney in
Bexar County for 50 years -- in private practice, as a
prosecutor, and as a judge. He descended from George
Hooker's sister Mary, another child of Johann and Margaretha. In
1975, Judge Weil's aunt, Mildred B. Weil, wrote down a
family story. He shared it with me sometime before 2000.
Is the story true? Well, all families
have "stories," but stories are not genealogy.
However, a good genealogist never discounts those
"stories." Thus, here is the story, about two
people from long ago: John HOCKERTS and Margaret HAMMES.
Below the story is a genealogical attempt to find the
truth.
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 and Margaret's daughter Mary took pen in hand and wrote the
following story in beautiful handwriting. 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 Mildred B. Weil (b. 2-Jul-1905), who became Mrs.
William Carpenter. Mrs. Carpenter put the story on paper
at the request of her
brother's son.
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 [i.e., 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! |
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.
The easiest "finds" for the family were the
1850 and 1860 census.
1850: John and Margaret HOCKARDS are
found in Racine, Racine County, Wisconsin, as a couple
with children. On 29-Jul-1850, a census taker 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.
1860: John HICKARDS is found in
Lafayette, Tippecanoe County, Indiana: dwelling 803,
family 756, age 45, laborer, born in Germany. He is
listed with five young people: 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. Catherine, George,
Mary, and Henry match to the 1850 census; new is
Theodore, born since the 1850 census. Wife Margaret is
gone.
A bit more hunting found the family on an 1846
ship's passenger list. The family arrived in New York on October
14, 1846, on a ship named "Niobe." The ship had
sailed from Antwerp, Belgium. The information is from
"1820-1850 New York Passenger and Immigration
Lists." Family identification number was
348389. (Microfilm serial number: M237; microfilm roll
number: 64.) Family name was misread and indexed as
"Hockerty." Johan, 32; Margretha, 28; Anna
Catherina, 7; George 2.
The family grouping also is found in an 1863
letter filed with the court in
Tippecanoe County, Indiana, in the "Docket of
Letters of Guardians":
Name of Guardian:
John Hockers
Date of Letter: 1863, March 23
Name of Surety: John Bongen
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 Letter revoked
Feb 29, 1868 12-75 |
The document quoted
above was created with handwriting and is not 100%
legible. Initially, I had misread the surety's name as
"Bonjew." The letter indicates that John
Hockers (i.e., Hockertz) was appointed guardian of an
asset intended for the children, and that someone named
"John Bongen" posted a surety bond guaranteeing
that John Hockers would handle the asset honestly for the
children.
Those four records clearly establish
the family's existence in the world of reality. Ignoring
the spelling variations, we see John and Margaret arrive
in the USA in 1846 with their children Catherine and
George. In about 1848, at least Margaret was in Indiana
for the birth of Mary. In 1850, the family is in Racine,
Wisconsin. In about 1854, at least Margaret was in
Wisconsin for the birth of Theodore. In 1860, they are in
Lafayette, Indiana, but Margaret is gone. In 1863, they
are in Lafayette, Indiana, with all children connected to
John. The family name showed variously as Hockerty,
Hockards, Hickards, and Hockers.
Thus, we have established that crucial
first point: They existed!
Second, is the story true?
We begin to
fill out some family information with bits and pieces:
 In a published "History of Tippecanoe
County," available at the historical/genealogical
society in Tippecanoe County, there is mention of a son
of John DAHM and Katherine HOOCKER, both natives of Germany: George E. Dahm (page
160). "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." Katherine's
son George is noted as connected to St. Mary's Catholic
Church of Lafayette, Indiana. Katherine's husband John
Dahm is noted as having been employed by the Wabash
Railroad for 35 years.
We find from
the historical/genealogical society in Tippecanoe Co.,
Indiana, 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 is 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, daughter 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
Catholic. This is beyond a claim. She died
3-Nov-1890, her mortal remains were buried at St.
Joseph Catholic Cemetery in Lafayette, Tippecanoe
Co., Indiana. 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 (George and Mary), and
proof that a third was Catholic (Catherine).
This fits with one other tiny bit of info that 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 that
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 "Hommace" and as
"Hames" (on her son Theodore's death
certificate). That might suggest that one was spelling it
the way it sounded [hom-mace], and the other closer to an
actual spelling [Hames].
A search of "Germany, Select
Births and Baptisms, 1558-1898" found Margaretha's
birth date, baptismal date, and parents' names
| Name: |
Margaretha
Hammes |
| Gender: |

| Birth Date: |
5 Aug 1817 |
| Baptism Date: |

"Katholisch" is simply the
German word for "Catholic." Großkampenberg is
a tiny municipality in the district of Bitburg-Prüm
("Eifel" area) in Rhineland-Palatinate, close
to the border with Belgium. Großkampenberg is about 50
miles north/northwest from Trier. In 2014, the population
of Großkampenberg is 156 people (according to
information at wikipedia); in 2014, the population of
Trier is over 100,000.
Looking back at an earlier find:
Back to that letter found in the court
house in Lafayette, Indiana. Obviously, something
happened before 23-Mar-1863 that involved the children.
That was clear from the "Letter of Guardian."
The determination of who Margaretha Hammes' father was
suggests what the Letter of Guardian was about. Three
months before the letter was filed with the court in
Tippecanoe County, Indiana, Margaretha's father had died.
He died in Oberraden, Germany, on 24-Jan-1863. George
Hammes was the maternal grandfather of John Hockertz'
five children. Apparently the children had inherited
something from the grandfather, and John Hockertz was
named to protect the children's interest.
The surety was John Bongen. It took until 2014 for me to
figure out that John Bogen was family, not a hired
bondsman. John Bongen and John Hockertz were first
cousins. They had crossed the Atlantic Ocean on the same
ship, the Niobe, in 1846. John Hockertz was 32 and
crossed with his wife and two young children. John Bongen
was 22 and crossed with his parents and two siblings.
John Hockertz' mother and John Bongen's father were
siblings. In other words, when John Hockertz came to the
USA, he and his young family were traveling with his
52-year-old maternal uncle, Jacob Bongen.
It should be noted that John Hockertz'
mother was Anna Margaretha WEYRES. That was her maiden
name. Yet her full brother's name was Jacob BONGEN. The
two had the same parents: Philipp BONGEN (1748-1796) and
Maria Catharina WEYRES (1756-1828). However, the daughter
carried the mother's family name, and the son carried the
father's family name. Although we find that unusual in
2014 in the USA, in the time and place and social station
in which they were born, it was not unusual for a child
to carry the family name of the mother, if the mother's
family had a bit more "prominence" or a bit
more money.
Reality
Back to how much of the "story" is true:
The oldest two children were born in Germany (or Prussia)
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."
The family arrived in the USA in October 1846. Daughter
Mary was born in October 1847 in Indiana. The next child
was born in 1850 in Wisconsin. The next child was born in
1855 in Wisconsin. By 1860, the father and children were
back in Indiana, in Lafayette County, Indiana. When were
they in Allentown, Pennsylvania, as the story claims?
Quoting from the story, "Mr. Hookard and a partner
operated a brick kiln in Allentown [Pennsylvania] for
many years." Something doesn't fit.
However, 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.
The story says that Mary was 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 Hockerts' 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.
The surname is spelled "Hooker" for the
children simply because two sons who passed the name on
settled on the spelling HOOKER. It is not known whether
the third son (Henry) had any children:

CONTACT FROM A
EUROPEAN COUSIN:
As a result of my
sharing that old family story in my little corner of the
internet, in 2003 I received an email and a guestbook
entry from a genealogist who descends from a sister of
Margaret Hammes. Below is the exchange, as now found in
the guestbook for this genealogy site:
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 Hockertz) 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 provided by Mr.
Probst 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 Margaretha Hammes.
Information below was copied from Uwe's site (as it existed in 2003), except that I have substituted my own
ancestors for slots 1, 2, and 3. (Additionally, by 2014,
Mr. Probst's work can be found here: Uwe Probst at geneanet.org.) What is below shows only Margaretha Hammes'
